President Nana Akufo-Addo will be the Guest of Honor at the current year's nineteenth Plenary Assembly of Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) in Accra.
The Conference, under the sponsorship of the Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference will happen from July 25 to August 1 at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration in Accra.
The initial function would happen on Tuesday July 26 at the Christ the King Parish in Accra on the topic: "Responsibility for: Security and Migration in Africa and its Islands."
The end function to be gone before by Holy Mass will be hung on Sunday July 31 at the Holy Spirit Cathedral, Adabraka in Accra.
Most Rev Gabriel Kumordji, acting Treasurer of SECAM and Bishop of Keta-Akatsi Diocese on Monday in a press preparation said, the Assembly would unite around 130 members, including Cardinals, Bishops, and Representatives of Church Institutions from the mainland of Africa, delegates from Pope Francis, and others from the US.
He said the Assembly was at first booked to occur in Burkina Faso, however because of the political unsteadiness in the nation and the non-acknowledgment of the tactical system by both the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in that country, it was changed to Ghana.
Ghana facilitated the fifteenth Plenary Assembly in 2010 to stamp the 40th Anniversary of SECAM.
Most Rev Kumordji said the Bishops of Africa have been standing up and neutralizing the developing awkward nature between the Northern and Southern area of the planet, taking everything into account.
He said, in a new message known as the "KAMPALA DOCUMENT," the clerics brought up the harm being finished to creation that is the climate; and the political and financial emergency
"An examination of the presentation of administration in Africa firmly uncovers a few deficiencies the development in financial, social and political imbalances, which ensure no quiet future for people and social steadiness.
"Putrefying defilement frequently systematized as method of administration, nonattendance of commitment for responsibility, and the rule of exemption, all from a similar Document," he said.
Most Rev Kumordji said SECAM had starting around 2015 kept an Observer Status at AU which was a significant stage for bringing issues concerning the Church to the consideration of African legislatures, associations and the whole world.
The Bishops of Africa have saved a day Known as "SECAM DAY" that is noticed yearly on July 29 at the Diocesan, public, provincial, and mainland levels in Africa.
SECAM looks to achieve together in Africa, Christ's command to broadcast the message of reclamation to all countries, to cultivate, advance and save fortitude, fellowship, and coordinated effort among the priests of the mainland.
