I AM BACK: a reflection- on the importance of integral humanity

Image
1.0 INTRODUCTION The concept of “going back” signifies retreating oneself. Allusions could be made to the scripture where Jesus withdrew to a lonely place to communicate with God. (cf. Mt 14:23) Certain questions become very pertinent in the course of this reflection. To say “I am back”, connotes a place- place of happiness, place of love, place of spiritual life, place of sadness, place of holiness, place of sin, a place of pleasure, place of learning pastoral and missionary spirit and zeal, a place of wisdom and intellectual activities. It is to be noted that ‘a place’ has a relative influence on specific individuals. This signifies that certain individuals would even be corrupt and unholy at the spiritual and calm environment, inversely, people could be even holier in the most corrupt places-take Ajegunle as a case study.
