Church, Academia, and Media: Are We Abdicating Our Social Responsibility?
By Professor Wilfred Mlay
I think that this question deserves no time for reflection, introspection, research, or field work. It requires no analysis. Just go to any place in Africa, any household, any small township, any church, any media house. Listen to any coffee conversation, tiptoe into any academic or lecture hall and ask them what are the issues, the concerns, and immediately it will be apparent to you that in this society there is a great need of someone with some responsibility. To put it another way, someone has abdicated his responsibility for society.
