Introducing SECAM.org

This video offers a brief introduction to the social networking and mapping functionality of the SECAM.org website and directory.

The Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) was born out of the will of young African Bishops during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). They wanted to speak with one voice. The establishment of SECAM is therefore the result of the bishops resolution to build a continental structure in order to bring forth the African vision to the whole Church.

What is the mission of SECAM?

The mission of SECAM is “to promote its role as a sign and instrument of salvation and to build the Church as a Family of God in Africa”, to preserve and foster communion, collaboration and joint action among all the Episcopal Conferences of Africa and the Islands.
