Summary:

"'From the Hut to Oxford' clearly shows the huge impact that Archbishop Sarpong has made during his priestly and episcopal ministry, spanning forty nine years from 1959-2008, on: the Catholic Church in Ghana, education, culture, and religion. The relative understanding, harmony, and cooperation among the religious bodies in the country: between Catholic and non-Catholic Christians; between followers of Islam and Christians, etc., can be attributed in no small measure to his unflagging endeavors in ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue. Happily, his effort in this regard has been universally recognised. In a world racked by religious bigotry, dissention and mayhem, he deserves more than a pat on the back."--Back cover.
