"This handbook of source texts for Christian communicators in Africa contains a rich variety of nearly twenty documents from official meetings throughout Africa from 1970 to 1991. The first Pan-African Meeting of the Episcopal Conferences on Social Communications (Ibadan, 1973) and the SECAM Plenary Assembly on the theme "Evangelization in Africa through the Communications Media" (Lome, 1990) receive special attention. Other seminal meetings were the Conference on Effective Communication in Development (Lusaka, 1971), the WACC Pan-African Symposium on Christian Communication (Harare, 1987) and the AMECEA_Sonolux Grassroots Communication Symposium (Lusaka, 1988)."
