Abstract

The Catholic Voyage: African Journal of Consecrated Life(TCV), founded in 2003, is an academic journal published by the joint Conference of Major Superiors of Nigeria (women and men). Faithful to African and Catholic heritage and values, its aims are to educate, inform, form, and evangelize. The journal is addressed primarily to consecrated persons, clergy, candidates in Formation to Consecrated Life and Priesthood, the lay faithful associated and in collaboration with religious institutes and societies of apostolic life, and to all persons interested in this evangelical way of life. The Catholic Voyage welcomes well-researched articles on historical and contemporary issues from any area of ecclesiastical disciplines and human and social sciences. It also accepts reflections, reports, stories, and other genres of write-ups on related matters and happenings in the church and world, especially from African perspective.
