     Title: U.S. Bishops Call for Solidarity with Africa
 
  On November 14 the Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a document: A Call to Solidarity with Africa.

Our fear is that Africa's hopes could be destroyed by indifference and inaction in Africa and around the world. For these reasons, we raise our voices and echo the plea made by the Holy See at the U.N. Millennium Summit: that Africa be given special attention and that efforts be made which are really capable of meeting its needs.
