Most Rev. Jude Thaddeus Ruwa’ichi, Coadjutor Archbishop of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania has asked Bishops of AMECEA to go beyond AMECEA Region and Africa in order to bring Peace, Justice, Unity, Reconciliation to the people of God.

In his homily during Holy Mass which was animated by Tanzania Episcopal Conference in Addis Ababa, on Wednesday 18, July, Archbishop Ruwa’ichi said, “As Pastors of the People of God we need to seriously seriously the scenarios of places like Congo, Cameroon, and Central Africa where our brothers and sisters are experiencing affliction of hatred, irresponsible governance, poverty and similar realities.

He said that Bishops should not remain silent on the atrocities committed against the people of God wherever in Africa and beyond. “Countries like Yemen just across the red sea, Palestine, where conflicts are rampant continue to paint a negative image in human history.

“From day one of the assembly, several topics have been presented; our duty is to attentively reflect on them and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit make an enlightened decision,” he said.
