Ugandan priest, pilgrim,  and professor of theology and peace studies at Notre Dame University, Prof Emmanuel Katongole discusses his new book, Who are my People. He wrestles with the question of identity in this book,  and the meaning of the self-sacrificing love of Christ for celebrating our common baptismal identity as African Christians and addressing ecological violence, religious violence, and ethnic violence in the continent of Africa today. He brings a fresh and new approach to doing theology, through a reimagination of the prophetic witnessing of churches and Christians in Africa. He proposes a new society with 'a confused identity,  where our differences are embraced as surplus values through a reinvention of love and a celebration of inclusion, and diversity for a new people, a new world, and a new hope.
