According to the declarations of the episcopate, read in the ceremonial service on the occasion of the date, the Prophet’s deeds go beyond the simple human dimension for having gathered in himself Prophetic-Spiritual virtues.<\/p>\n

Appointed as a convinced nationalist Pan-Africanist and humanist, he is considered by the tocoists as the emanation of Christ, son of God.<\/p>\n

The persecutions he suffered served to describe the struggles of the Christian journey and national liberation for the new generation of believers in that community, in the face of possible obstacles in social and spiritual life.<\/p>\n

For Reverend Garcia Luyeye, the proclamation of the freedom of African peoples is also due to the ecclesiastical figure of Sima\u0303o Gonc\u0327alves Toco.<\/p>\n

The Church has expanded to all continents, at the moment Bishop Dom Afonso Nunes is in Lisbon (Portugal) to consecrate new pastors and learn about the functioning of the church, the historic place where Bishop Toco was imprisoned for 11 years.<\/p>\n

Sima\u0303o Toco was born on February 24, 1918, in the province of Ui\u0301ge, municipality of Maquela do Zombo.<\/p>\n
