Nairobi, 29 October, 2023 / 9:50 pm (ACI Africa).
The Chancellor of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) has challenged graduands at a Kenya-based regional institution of higher learning to be proponents of truth, “always” standing for their faith and living a life of service.
In his speech during the 42nd graduation ceremony at the main campus of CUEA in Karen, Nairobi, Bishop Charles Kasonde said, “My plea to graduands is to stand for the truth and always stand for your faith. If you pray, remain honest, and stand committed to serving society. You will have already given your life a purpose.”
Bishop Kasonde emphasized during the Friday, October 27 event, “Graduands, you have already chosen a promising path by pursuing higher education. You now ought to take the path of truth; and by doing so, you will find yourselves with a helper at every time no matter how difficult the terrain you have chosen may be.”
“Your faith is your truth whether you are a Christian, a Muslim or a Hindu,” the Chancellor of the Catholic institution under the auspices of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) said, adding, “We in CUEA enable you to testify to this truth through your career as a scholar, professional, or entrepreneur.”
The Local Ordinary of Zambia’s Solwezi Diocese further said CUEA trains students to testify to their faith wherever they are in their daily encounters.
