Manga Francois

I am Francois Hubert Manga born in Akometam/ Cameroon. This year, I am writing a Research Master of Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion at the KU, Leuven on the topic: “Travelling in mind with Jan Pascha: Virtuality Inspiring Spirituality in the Late Middle Ages.” Before that, I produced a Master thesis in Systematic Theology (Spirituality) at the Radboud University, Nijmegen on the theme: “The spiritual pilgrimage of Jan Pascha: towards the quest for the sources of the text.” In the meantime, I am an Undergraduate in Spirituality at the Milltown Institute/CIBI- Dublin-Ireland. I got a Bachelor in Theology on “health care and sacraments” and a Bachelor in Philosophy on “Hannah Arendt and the public, private and social spheres.” Since 2015, I am a Module Author and Corrector at the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI) Dublin – Ireland focusing on “Spirituality and Social Justice.” Additionally, I am a TBI Fellow (Titus Brandsma Instituut (TBI) at the Radboud University, Nijmegen working on the “Edition of the Spiritual Texts of Leopold Sedar Senghor.”

I attended many Workshops and Congress around the world whether as a participant, speaker or team member. (Nijmegen-The Netherlands, Rome – Italy, Paris- France, Msida / Mdina Malta, Yaounde-Cameroon, Amsterdam - The Netherlands) for example.

It is a great pleasure to contribute as Columnist at the Article 13: Interdisciplinary Journal of Ecclesiastical Law, with a particular interest on

“The Religious Freedom and the Constitutional Texts.”

I am not that good in Greek; however, I can manage some languages such as English, French (very good) Italian, German, (good), Dutch, Spanish (basic), Latin, Middle Dutch, Middle French, Middle English and Swabian (reading). Besides the intellectual activities, life is so beautiful, and I enjoy it through Travels, Sports (table tennis, athletics, foot & volley ball); Music and Reading.
