Help believers to achieve a fulfilled life, here and now

I) Academy IHET (Institut de Hautes Etudes de Théologies)


News items in a particular environment or society can be interpreted and appreciated in diversified ways. For some things are not going well, for others it is the opposite, and for others it is not as serious as that. Through its training sessions, IHET would like to express itself on the societal issues by questioning the role of religious institutions, the case of the Church in Cameroon, within our communities.

Since religion is at the heart of human life, we believe that, whatever the opinions on current events, the Church occupies a predominant place in Cameroonian (African) society. A popular statement such as "after God is the State", reveals a postulate that the Church which unfortunately represents God in our communities is involved in all areas of Cameroonians' life. In other words, to understand what is happening in African States today can easily be explained through the life of the Church. Learning how such happens and its impact is what is at the heart of teachings organized by the Institut de Hautes Etudes de Théologies (IHET).

Sharing with our neighbour what we have. It is all about being a voice for those who are in suffering, by assisting them in context and universal values. Grounded on endogenic approaches, those who are assisted define their needs and the means of addressing them.
