SMA News January
Mission of Bangui
In the light of the theme of GA 2019 “A family faithful to its missionary charism in the changing and complex context of today” was celebrated the first Provincial Assembly of the SMA Ghana Province under the theme: “Gathered under the tent for a renewed spirit”, taken from two biblical texts: Joshua 18:1 and Romans 12:2. This theme reminds us that the first agent of evangelization is the Holy Spirit and that we are a family “sent” as family to commune with God and to announce the Gospel to Africans and those of African origin in the world.

Beginning and legal framework
This program, developed in October 2017 by the SMA-NDA Cooperative Commission on Common Heritage, was approved by the two General Councils. This program, which some might qualify ambitiously, spans an eight-year period. In July 2018, the program was recognized by the General Chapter of NDA Sisters; in May 2019, it was ratified by the General Assembly of the SMA Fathers. Since then it has become a road map for both Institutes in the framework of research on the Common Heritage and the living of the charism today.
