EN
The AMECEA Pastoral Institute (API) was founded in 1967 to serve the dioceses of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA). API developed new approaches in the manner of training of pastoral personnel according to the communion ecclesiology of Vatican II. In 1973 the AMECEA bishops already made the Small Christian Communities (SCC) their pastoral priority. The SCCs allowed Africans to experience and live Gospel values in an African context. The image of the Church – the Family of God in Africa, as developed by the first African Synod in 1994, gave a new dimension to a specific African ecclesiology and to an African pastoral theology, which was especially reflected in the teaching and training for adequate pastoral personnel at API. The Publication Department publishes the African Ecclesial Review (AFER) and the Spearhead Monograph Series, one of the most recognised theological and pastoral series in the English-speaking Africa. Since 2008, API is a campus of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA), which gave API a more accepted status and a new challenge for the tasks of the Catholic Church in Eastern Africa in the 21st century.

Instytut Pastoralny AMECEA (API) założony został w 1967 roku, by służyć diecezjom Stowarzyszenia Członków Konferencji Episkopatów Afryki Wschodniej (AMECEA). API wypracował nowe formy kształcenia kadr duszpasterskich, zgodnie z eklezjologią komunii, według Soboru Watykańskiego II. Biskupi AMECEA już w roku 1973 ustanowili Podstawowe Wspólnoty Chrześcijańskie (SCC) swoim pastoralnym priorytetem. Wspólnoty te dały Afrykanom możliwość doświadczania i życia według wartości ewangelicznych w afrykańskim kontekście. Obraz Kościoła – Boskiej Rodziny w Afryce, taki, jakim określił go Synod Afrykański w 1994 roku, nadał nowy wymiar specyficznej eklezjologii afrykańskiej i afrykańskiej teologii pastoralnej – co szczególnie wyraźnie uwidoczniło się w nauczaniu i kształceniu w API odpowiednich asystentów pastoralnych. Departament Wydawnictw publikuje African Ecclesial Review (Afrykański Przegląd Eklezjalny, AFER) oraz Spearhead Monograph Series (Seria Monograficzna „Czołówka”) – jedną z najbardziej znanych teologicznych i pastoralnych serii w anglojęzycznej Afryce. Od roku 2008 API stanowi kampus Uniwersytetu Katolickiego Afryki Wschodniej (CUEA), który nadał API szerzej akceptowany status oraz nowe wyzwania do zadań Uniwersytetu na XXI wiek.
