From Rwanda/Uganda-
TWELVE Rwandan Bishops will, next week join about 500 Anglican bishops from Africa to discuss the development challenges that Africa faces.
The conference, which will be held under the theme; "Securing our future; Unlocking our potential," is scheduled to take place in Kampala, Uganda from August 23 - 28.
Kigali's Provincial Secretary, Reverend Emmanuel Gatera, said the Rwandan representative will comprise 10 diocesan bishops and two coadjutor (assistant) bishops.
"It will be a good opportunity for us (African bishops) to meet and discuss the success and challenges registered so far as well as chart the way forward," he said in a phone interview, yesterday.
According to the organizers, the conference will lay emphasis on peace, reconciliation, compassion, good governance and poverty eradication.
The first conference was held in Lagos, Nigeria in 2004 under the theme, "Africa has come of age."
