From Zimbabwe-Anglicans in Harare are looking forward to a new year in their own church buildings after they were returned to them following a protracted legal battle.
St Mary and All Saints Cathedral and other properties had been occupied by Dr Nolbert Kunonga, a former bishop who was excommunicated from the Anglican Communion in 2007 over his support for Robert Mugabe.
The properties were finally returned to the Church of the Province of Central Africa after the Zimbabwean Supreme Court found in its favour.
The court victory was celebrated by a historic thanksgiving service in Harare attended by a thousand worshippers.
The Bishop of Harare, the Right Reverend Chad Gandiya said: “All those five years we were driven from our churches and went into exile, life was not easy but God was with us. We survived and found grace in exile.”
