\nThe Catholic
\nBishops of Malawi (ECM) are planning to hold a thanksgiving Ceremony for the
\nsuccess of the 18th AMECEA Plenary Assembly, which was hosted by the
\nconference from 16th to 26th July, 2014. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAccording to Fr George Buleya, Secretary
\nGeneral of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM), the decision to have a special
\nthanksgiving Mass was made during the bishops\u2019 meeting that was held at the
\nCatholic Secretariat in Lilongwe, on 11th September, 2014, when they
\nreceived a preliminary report from the AMECEA 2014 Plenary Committee.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThe thanksgiving ceremony may
\nnot attract the kind of multitude that was there during the plenary assembly.
\nNevertheless, it will be national in that the Conference plans to have
\nrepresentatives from all the dioceses from across the country attending the
\nceremony,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n
\nThe event
\nhas been scheduled to take place on 31st January 2015 in Lilongwe,
\nduring which the bishops, while thanking God, will also make special
\nrecognition of Christians, Catholic institutions, and all people of good will
\nwho significantly contributed to the success of the plenary assembly. \u201cThe
\nConference is indeed very grateful to all people that participated in one way
\nor the other during the preparations and the actual Plenary Assembly,\u201d said Fr.
\nBuleya. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAt the same
\noccasion, it is expected that the bishops will also launch a booklet that
\ncontains official proceedings of the 18th AMECEA plenary, as the
\nbishops want the message to reach out to all Christians at grassroots level. \u201cPreparations
\nfor implementation of the plenary\u2019s resolution have already started. For
\ninstance, the bishops have set up a special committee under ECM\u2019s pastoral
\ndepartment, to find ways of engaging Christians into serious reflection on the
\nmessage of that came from the 18th AMECEA plenary bishops,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAccording to
\nreports at the Catholic secretariat, the bishops in Malawi have decided to find
\nways of bringing the 18th AMECEA Plenary Message to the grassroots
\nlevel. \u201cSome dioceses have already translated into local languages the communiqu\u00e9
\nthat the newly elected chairman of AMECEA, Most Rev. Berhaneyesus Souraphiel,
\nArchbishop of Metropolitan Archdiocese of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia presented to
\nthe faithful during the closing ceremony of the 18th AMECEA Plenary
\nAssembly.\u201d <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe 18th AMECEA
\nPlenary Assembly in Malawi has been lauded as the best in the history of AMECEA
\nand the Malawi Bishops attributes that success to the ordinary people of Malawi
\nwho owned the event, supported it entirely and ensured that everything was a
\nsuccess.<\/div>\n
