Âmbito e conteúdo
Report on the Livingstone Mission (Zambia) compiled by Fr. Theophilus Murphy OFM Cap. for the Irish Capuchin Provincial Chapter. Fr. Theophilus referred to the consecration in February 1975 of Monsignor Adrian Mung’andu (c.1920-2007) as the first locally-born African Bishop of the Diocese of Livingstone. The installation was a landmark as the Diocese ‘ceased to be entrusted to the Capuchin Order’. He also noted that ‘about 90% of the priests working in the Livingstone Diocese are Capuchins’. The report is divided into the following general sections:
(1) Apostolate
(a) Drink
(b) Wrong marriages
(2) Education – primary and post primary schools
(3) Medical
(4) Social work and development
(5) Life of the friars
(6) Vocations and Formation
(7) Katima Mulilo Mission, Caprivi Strip
(8) Still room and need for missionaries in Zambia
