Lusaka, 27 May, 2022 / 10:20 am (ACI Africa).
The Bishop of Zambia’s Ndola Diocese has called upon the people of God in his Episcopal See to unite with a purpose and vision that seeks to build and develop the local church for the common good of all.
In a report by the information service of Propaganda Fide, Agenzia Fides, Bishop Benjamin Phiri said that the development of the local church relies on the collaboration of all the people including members of the Clergy and the Laity.
“It is important to have unity of purpose and unity of vision to build the local Church with a common motivation,” Bishop Phiri has been quoted as saying in the Wednesday, May 25 Agenzia Fides report.
The Zambian Catholic Bishop told Agenzia Fides that progress in local churches becomes a distant dream especially when there is no unity and people are approaching issues individually without any sense of solidarity.
“Not much progress can be made in the local churches if each pastoral urgency is seen as something individual,” he said, adding that motivation just like unity and vision is equally important and need to be embraced.
