The human person is a sacramental symbol. As a sacramental symbol, it exudes multitudes of meanings as well as an enduring openness to encounters. The essays in this monograph are intended to explore the many ways the human person is a being that instantiates endless meanings. The essays seek to probe deeper into the question, what does it mean to be human in a pluralistic world? Chapter two explores the phenomenological content of the label, stranger, and its existential implications. Chapter three offers a critique of coloniality of hate playing out both in colonized societies and the world in general. Chapter four argues that altruism can be a marker of liberation and hospitality within the domain of social institutions. In doing this, the chapter dives deeper into an exploration of the human condition as one grounded in a turn to sociality. Chapter five evaluates ways forgetfulness is deployed in colonized societies. In doing this, it sheds light on how forgetfulness has become a social tool of erasure of queer memories in post-colonial Africa. Chapter six makes a case for a theo-decolonial memory of surplus as a credible path to healing the harm to Africa’s social psyches by colonialism. Chapter seven offers a critique of the Catholic Church’s embrace of modernity and its inherent lack in articulating a rich vision of the human person. Consequently, the chapter makes a case for insights from African cultural worldview that can enrich the Church’s vision of the human person. Chapter eight offers insights into how black bodies can instantiate a sacramental turn for the Church both in its sense of self and its fidelity to Christ through its ministries in the world.
