Follow the journey of Ted Rogers SJ, one of the most famous priests in Zimbabwe:merchant seaman torpedoed off the West African coast during World War II; trainee Jesuit for ten years; founder of the School of Social Work in Ian Smith's Rhodesia; admirer and then critic of Mugabe's regime; general secretary for the social-action efforts of 80 bishops in southern Africa; and rounding off his 50-year ministry by pioneering a successful peer-education programme to combat AIDS among high school youth. A moving story, told with great charm and wit. The Christian Lives in Africa Series aims at documenting the trajectories of African Christians who left a mark in church and society. All genres including journals, memoirs, correspondence and oral history interviews are considered. The series will disseminate significant texts and documents which are not easily accessible.
