Thi is the latest issue of the magazine publihsed by staff and students of the Mill Hill Missionary Formation Community in Bamenda, Cameroon.
A quote from the introductory article of the editor-in-chief Kuvinyu Brice:
What began some years ago as the Anglophone crisis has inadvertently led Cameroonians to despair. The Anglophone crises have affected us as a formation house and as individuals. Some of our school days are interrupted and we miss classes, food prices have skyrocketed, insecurity has halted pastoral activities in some places. Armed robbery has become very rampant that Christians are even skeptical and suspicious when we go for home visitation. We are so scared that at the least sound some jump under their beds. During holidays we are actually desiring to go back home to be with our families but some of us cannot; even calling back home to hear from family and friends, network does not permit.
Considering the killings around, one can see how human life has been undermined making irreverent the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in paragraph 2258: “Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the creator who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end; no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being.” In this regard, we pathetically think of the ongoing war in Israel and Palestine, the horrible killings some months ago in Mamfe and Nkambe with many other inconspicuous killings.
When shall all this stop? Instead of complementing one another, human beings ironically have turned to be wolf to man (Homo Homi Lipus) as Thomas Hobbes opines in the Leviathan. This has excluded the Ubuntu spirit which should be at the forefront. Cain in Gen 4:3-9 killed his brother Abel because of jealousy. Deep is calling upon deep for an amendment in the sanctity of life for all these is nefarious.
