ANGLICAN DIOCESE AMICHI RAISES FUNDS FOR COLLEGE OF NURSING SCIENCES
In continuation of the 10th anniversary of Diocese of Amichi (Anglican Communion), a general thanksgiving service was held at the Cathedral Church St. Andrew Amichi, Nnewi South, Anambra state.
The Diocese of Amichi was carved out of the Nnewi Diocese in 2009 under the Episcopacy of His Lordship, The Rt. Revd Ephraim Okechukwu Ikeakor as a need to propagate the gospel in the region.
The thanksgiving was graced by the Primate of the Anglican Communion, The Most Revd Nicholas D. Okoh who took the sermon.
The Primate enjoined the congregation to hold onto Jesus as a compass and let Jesus be a guiding light to them. He went further to encourage everyone to continue to contribute to the growth of the Diocese.
The Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Revd Ikeakor gave “the Temple Builder award’’ to eleven (11) recipients and families. The Bishop said the reason for the award is to encourage them for the work that they have been doing in the Diocese since 2009.
