The Moral Problem Posed by Individualism in the Church in Africa

A Case Study in Nebbi Catholic Diocese in North-Western Uganda

The Moral Problem Posed by Individualism in the Church in Africa

After presenting a general profile of Nebbi Catholic Diocese in North-Western Uganda this study focuses on the tradional values of the Alur tribe which contribute to the local building of ecclesial communion. It discusses the present-day meaning of individualism, its expressive forms and factors in the light of the Christian perception of personality and contrasts it with Christian models of communitarian life. The result are several possibilities which can serve to building up of the local Church in a moral, spiritual and practical way.
