HARARE - Chad Gandiya, Anglican Church prelate, is hosting the first thanksgiving ceremony since the defeat of renegade bishop Nolbert Kunonga.
Precious Shumba, spokesperson of the Anglican Church Province of Central Africa (CPCA), told the Daily News that the church’s Harare diocese will hold the function at the Harare Gardens on Sunday.
“On Sunday we are giving thanks to the Lord for protecting us for redeeming us out of hutapwa waKunonga, (Kunonga’s oppression),” Shumba said.
He said church members from the country’s four provinces were going to take part in the Thanksgiving ceremony.
“The Lord has been faithful to us over the years, and on Sunday, all the Anglican churches that are drawn from Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West, Mashonaland Central and Harare Metropolitan provinces are attending the celebrations,” he said.
The gathering marks the commemoration of Gandiya’s Supreme Court victory of November 19, 2012 when the highest court in the land ruled that all church properties be given to Gandiya’s faction.
