Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ANGLICAN Diocese of Manicaland Bishop Eric Ruwona says the church has played a key role in improving the education sector in the country complementing government efforts.<\/p>\n

Ruwona made the remarks in Mutare while celebrating the church\u2019s 43th anniversary in the Eastern border city where more than 3 000 church members from across the province and country attended the colourful event.<\/p>\n

The church diocese started in Mutare without a proper office before Bishop Elijah Masuku started the construction programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not an easy job, we had no vehicle even a proper office and he built what we now call the diocese office and it was finished by Bishop Sebastan Bakare who built two floors,\u201d Ruwona said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen came Elson Jakazi who did not stay long and was replaced by the late Peter Ralph Bishop Hatendi and after him there was Bishop Julius Makoni who did a great work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Bishop Makoni this is when I was appointed to be the bishop in 2015, so today we are here to celebrate this history of 43 years of existence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy that the church as part of its vision started schools. What we call the Diocese of Manicaland has more than 200 schools started by the church.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruwona said the church was currently running 54 schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why you go everywhere in the country or across the globe, you will see Anglicans who have were educated at our schools,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not come here for only church but to bring development in the country. We have played a key role in the education sector complementing the government efforts in its policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
