Anglican Bishop William Joseph Mchombo wants priests to behave properly. He talked to 58 priests during their Renewal of Vows event at Likwenu Parish, Zomba district. He told them they must set good examples for church members. Their main jobs include preaching the gospel and helping people with problems.
The bishop said people expect a lot from religious leaders. The way priests live should inspire Christians to remain faithful. The ceremony reminded priests about promises they made when becoming clergy. Rev. Canon Edward Mtendere Kawingwa spoke for the priests, saying the event strengthens them in their daily duties. Committee chairperson Winasi Boma explained that the Anglican Church holds these ceremonies every year.
The Upper Shire Diocese covers several districts, including Zomba, Mangochi, Machinga, Balaka, Ntcheu, and Mwanza. Its 58 priests serve 41 parishes. The bishop stressed that priest behavior needs constant monitoring to ensure it follows God's wishes. Priests must keep their commitment to both God and their congregation members.
