<\/a>Arrival at Nairobi airport. Photo \u00a9 Ver\u00f4nica Farias – CSC Audiovisual<\/p><\/div> There, they will be given a festive African welcome by representatives of the Focolare communities in Kenya <\/a>and by several people from other African nations: \u201cI leave with a lot of joy, thinking that in Kenya I\u2019ll also be meeting other parts of Africa,\u201d says Maria Voce<\/a> before leaving Italy. This is her second visit to the African continent, after that of 2009 to Fontem<\/a>, Cameroon <\/a>for the solemn celebration of Chiara Lubich<\/a>\u2019s Cry Die. The schedule of events provides a rough idea <\/strong>of what the trip will be about: enculturation, family and ecumenism. Numerous meetings are scheduled with civil and Church authorities, the general public and with Focolare communities.\u00a0 <\/strong> The first appointment is at the School of Inculturation, May 17-20,<\/strong> which will be attended by 257 people from Sub-Saharan Africa. Maria Voce and Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n<\/a>, who will attend the work sessions, will also offer presentations at the beginning and at the conclusion of the event. Jes\u00fas will give a third presentation related to the recent apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia<\/em>, on love in the family. <\/em> On May 7, 1992, during a trip to Nairobi<\/strong>, to visit Focolare members of the African continent, Chiara Lubich noted in her diary: \u201cInculturation, the great way for the evangelization!\u201d. <\/strong>Five days later, permanent Mariapolis Piero was inaugurated in Nairobi and Chiara founded the School of Inculturation, an intuition that turned out to be prophetic. The 11th School, titled \u201cFamily and Inculuration in Africa\u201d, will include several commissions from the Sub-Sahara region and will be composed of scholars, experts, academics and families. \u00a0<\/strong> On May 25, at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa\u2019s (CUEA) Law School, <\/strong>Maria Voce \u2013 who was amongst the lawyers who began the Communion and Law network \u2013 has been invited to give a lesson on \u201cThe Law\u2019s Role in Today\u2019s World\u201d. <\/strong>CUEA Law School has three departments: public law, private law and international law. It offers four-year Bachelor of Law Degrees with the goal of producing graduates with a mastery of Kenyan Law. Maria Voce\u2019s presentation will be addressed mainly to students and scholars of the Law School, but is also open to other Schools of the University and to people outside the CUEA community. May 27 will be the appointment with the <\/strong>International Ecumenical Movement of Kenya (IEM-K). The international ecumenical movement of Kenya began in the 90s, and has always aspired to \u201cevangelize the city of Nairobi by living a faith that is not intimidated as it challenges, in a practical way and from a Biblical prospective, political and economic questions of justice that are of interest to the community in which we live\u201d. The general goal of the IEM-K is to provide a forum for Christian communion on an interdenominational level. Maria Voce has been invited to share the Focolare\u2019s experience in the ecumenical field. On<\/strong> May 28-29 <\/strong>a final meeting is scheduled with the Focolare communities in Kenya, which will include representatives from Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania. That same day \u201cMary of the Light\u201d Church will be inaugurated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Focolare president Maria Voce and co-president Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n, along with several councillors will be landing at Jomo Kenyatta Airport on the evening of May 14, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[893],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-328266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-focolare-worldwide-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328266\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
