Africa/Angola - Cardinal and President say Church and State support commitment for peace

Luanda (Fides Service) - During his visit to Angola, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples, paid courtesy calls on both the President of the Republic and the Speaker of Parliament. The Angolan President voiced to the Cardinal his appreciation for the Church's work in promoting reconciliation among the people. For his part, the Cardinal assured the President that the Church intends to continue its efforts to consolidate peace in the country. Before departing for Rome, the Cardinal was taken to visit one of the many camps where thousands of displaced persons still live. Inside this camp situated about 30 km from Luanda, the Church has built a school, a dispensary and a children's feeding centre. Once peace is consolidated, with international assistance Angola should find its way out of the tunnel of hunger and desperation. (Fides Service 30/10/2002)
