Uíje, 29 January, 2025 / 9:22 pm (ACI Africa).
Bishop Joaquim Nhanganga Tyombe of the Catholic Diocese of Uije has underscored the importance of unity in faith, witness, and good works for Christian life.
Speaking at an Ecumenical service to mark the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on January 25, Bishop Tyombe called on Christians from various denominations to make visible efforts toward unity.
“Unity in faith, witness, and good works is essential for Christian life,” the Angolan Catholic Bishop said during the service that was held at the Our Lady of Conception Cathedral of Uije Diocese.
He urged Christians to make unity visible in their daily actions, saying, “Unity must be evident in everything we do as Christians—in our love, service, and actions toward others. It should not be an abstract concept but a concrete practice reflected in charity, forgiveness, dialogue, and mutual understanding.”
Bishop Tyombe highlighted the historical significance of unity among Christians, saying, “We have been striving for the unity of all believers in God, who created and saves us, for the past 1,700 years.”
