| AMECEA SCCSs Training Handbook |
As a practical response to the AMECEA Pastoral Strategic Plan 2014-2024, AMECEA has published a training handbook for facilitators of Small Christian Communities (SCCs), which fulfills an emerging need for inducing training contents and methodologies for individuals and groups actively involved in the facilitation of SCCs Processes.
The handbook which was edited by a team of
experts in SCCs including AMECEA Pastoral Coordinator Rev. Fr. Emmanuel
Chimombo and his predecessor Rev. Fr. Febian P. Mulenga, Rev. Fr. Joseph
Healey, MM, a renowned promotors of SCCs in Eastern Africa together with his
team Mrs. Rose Musimba and Alphonce C.L. Omolo was published by Paulines
Publication and aims at Strengthening the growth of Small Christian Communities
in Africa.
According Rev. Fr. Joseph Healey, MM, the
handbook is unique because it is a guide for the facilitators and is not just
to be given out to SCCs members but rather to Pastoral Agents who are
responsible for forming others about SCCs Processes.
“For years, we used the term Training of Trainers
but then we realized that in the structure of the SCCs facilitators, it has a
deeper meaning, therefore the handbook is called the Training Handbook for
facilitators,” Fr. Healey explained.

“There is a dramatic change going on, the doctrines
are changing therefore, the need for servant leadership. The facilitators of
SCCs processes have to also be the servant leaders; they are not bosses;” he
said.
The handbook among other things provides the
methodology of training for facilitators on SCCs as well as topics and sessions
for the trainings. It is therefore hoped that the handbook will be outstandingly
utilized to achieve the ultimate goal of promoting new and deeper
evangelization in AMECEA Region.
