Over 2000 delegates drawn from
across the 25 Dioceses in Cameroon
will be in Bamenda from Tuesday, 31st July to Sunday 5th
August 2012 for the 4th National Congress of the Catholic
Charismatic Renewal (CCR).
The congress to
hold on the theme: “Salt of the Earth, Light of the World” shall bring together
Bishops, Priests, religious and other Christ’s lay faithful. Highlights shall
include formation talks for priest, how the CCR is looked upon in the church
and other formation talks for the youths.
Briefing the
press on the forth-coming CCR congress, the Bamenda Archdiocesean coordinator,
Mr. Nkountchou Robert said as host diocese, they have done much to see that delegates
who will come from all over Cameroon will feel really at home in Bamenda. He
said all lodging arrangements have been made with their different partners like
Ayaba hotel and some school institutions and other companies like Amour Mezam
for transportation, Camtel and Brasseries. He also said delegates will be able
to have three square meals a day and their greatest objective would be that the
delegates would return to their dioceses visibly satisfied.
Complementing,
the Archdiocesan chaplain, Rev Fr. Ernest Timchia Tubuo explaining on the
spiritual aspect said there shall also be intercession prayers, moments of
adoration. With the Blesses sacrament and praises. He further said the CCR is
different from other Pentecostal movements in that instead of people striving
to have immediate healing or solutions to their problems, the CCR rather helps
them to have an inner feeling which is more consoling. Further, the CCR as a
movement also helps people to know the gifts of God and how they can develop
those gifts which is not only that of healing.
Worthy of note
is the fact that the CCR is a reality, a phenomenon that the holy spirit had
given the church, that is why nobody can boast as being its founder. The CCR in
Cameroon
started in 1967 and is about 25 years old in the Archdiocese of Bamenda.
