THE WISDOM OF NYA MODO AND AFRO-GLOBALIZATION

In the Ewondo language of Central Africa, a nya mdo, or “mother of man,” refers to a wise person, often an elder, whose social influence fosters communal cohesion, ethical guidance, and a sense of hope. In this lecture honoring nya mdo Fr. Daniel Harrington, S.J., Dr. Jean-Luc Enyegue, S.J. explores how nya modo can be used as a conceptual framework for interpreting African Christianity and its role within the global Church. He argues that this concept provides a compelling model for the theological reflection, positioning African Christianity as as source of hope for African communities and the world at large.
