Prior to the award presentation, Fr. Enyegue delivered the Harrington Lecture on 鈥淭he Wisdom of Nya Modo and Afro-Globalization." In the Ewondo language of Central Africa, a nya modo refers to a wise person, often an elder, whose social influence fosters communal cohesion, ethical guidance, and a sense of hope.

Enyegue said that this concept provides a compelling model for theological reflection, positioning African Christianity as a source of hope for African communities and the world at large.
