...works with missionaries: "Inculturation is a difficult thing and sometimes I would say a dangerous thing. Leaving your own culture and adopting that of the people among whom you work may lead you to go too far, toward animism perhaps." At the moment, the first black archbishop in Zambia, Emmanuel Milingo, is in Rome for a period of "reflection" because he carried on a ministry of exorcism and faith healing, complete with such tribal accoutrements as fly whisks and animal skins...

By the time the sun rose over Buckingham Palace last Wednesday, three communications satellites over the Indian and Atlantic oceans were beaming images of the scene to 750 million viewers in 61 countries, from Sweden to Zambia. For most of the next 7% hours, the air waves crackled with commentary in 34 languages, much of it irritatingly trite. But the pictures were the important thing, and they were riveting...
