As Christianity declines across much of the West, it is expanding rapidly in Africa—reshaping not only the demographics of the Church, but its future leadership, priorities, and voice.
In this conversation, Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu offers a clear-eyed account of that shift, arguing that the Church is entering a new phase: no longer defined by Western missionary outreach, but by a global return.
In this conversation, we discuss:
Why blaming colonialism is not enough—and how tribalism has become its modern counterpart
The Church as the only force capable of healing ethnic division and forming the human mind
How Pope Leo’s upcoming visit to Africa speaks not just to the continent, but to Europe and the world
The deeper spiritual crisis behind war, violence, and what he calls the “selfie” culture of modern humanity
What Western Christians must learn from a Church that is growing, vibrant, and confident
This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and a renewal in a rapidly changing global Church.
