From Michael Ndi in Bamenda
The Presbyterian Church in
Cameroon, PCC meeting in Mankon – Bamenda during its 47th Synod that
wrapped up last Tuesday November 25, has realized that the greeting signs of
the PCC marriage encounter is similar to that of a secret society – Rosicrucian.
The synod therefore resolved that the PCC marriage encounter greeting signs
must be reviewed in order not to conflict with that of the Rosicrucian order.
Beside the controversial
marriage encounter greeting signs, the synod that was chaired by the outgoing
moderator, Rt. Rev. Dr. Festus Asana equally resolved that a PCC education fund
be created to especially take care of the Cameroon Christian University, CCU. In
this light, each PCC Christian is to be taxed 2000FCFA annually for the
education fund.
The pro-chancellor of CCU,
Dorothy Njeuma who threw more light on the education fund explained that the
2000FCFA education fund is separate from other church contributions Christians make.
She regretted that although the PCC is a big institution, most of its
educational institutions are ramshackle.
Njeuma said the 3-floor
building at the permanent site of CCU in Bali has already kick-started “and we
desperately need money to complete the first floor and put in use in January
2015.” She said the university needs enough funds to recruit permanent staff,
and put in place infrastructures.
Observing that 2000FCFA per
christian is the minimum amount a christian can give annually, the out-going
moderator said PCC counts about 33 secondary schools and most of them are
struggling because of the lack of funds.
Above all, it was also
resolved that PCC radio, christian Broadcasting Service, be set-up in Bamenda
and a new Presbytery opened in Upper Bakossi.
