MENCHUM PRESBYTERY: PCC PASTORS' ATTENTION ON CHAPLAINCY BROUGHT TO BOOK.

The PCC National Training Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Mih Clement Kum has begun training Pastors of the Menchum Presbytery on the important role of chaplaincy, given that in Menchum Presbytery, chaplaincy programs are very timid.

This is the focus of a four-day refresher course which started on Wednesday March 30th 2022 at the Women's hall of PC Naikom in Menchum Presbytery.

It will end on Saturday April 2nd 2022. The interest, the National Training Chaplain says, is to enable PCC Pastors in Menchum Presbytery to revamp chaplaincy programs that have gone comatose.

So, this refresher course is aimed at bringing back the attention of Pastors to what they often neglect after they are given their charge. It should be recalled that in the seminary, focus is more on the general evangelization whereas there are specific things to do when it comes to chaplaincy.

The National Training Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Mih Clement Kum has challenged Pastors to pick up chaplaincy more serious than ever before.

" After this refresher course, I expect them to change their style of approach when it comes to evangelization. They need to take care of the flock that has been given to them. They need to commit themselves in visiting the sick, the needy, the poor and the afflicted."

This was further corroborated by Rev. Avo Martin Abiki, Presbyterial Secretary for Menchum Presbytery, and also Parish Pastor of PC Naikom.

"Given the situation in which we find ourselves, there is urgent need for Pastors to multiply chaplaincy programs so as to meet the spiritual and psycho-social needs of the youths, women and men, the sick and the afflicted."

Rev. AVO Martin Abiki, Presbyterial Secretary for Menchum Presbytery

Chaplains are people appointed by the Church to work in all kinds of places outside the normal life of the congregation. There are chaplains in hospitals, workplaces, prisons, the armed forces, shopping centres, rural areas, colleges, universities and schools.

Knowledge of chaplaincy roles are often complex, undifferentiated and display risk factors for social isolation and loneliness. These are frequently associated with loss of well-being and spiritual issues. The National Chaplaincy of the PCC provides holistic approach by constantly manuring the minds of its clergy to keep them afloat with what it entails.

Several approaches are taken in the PCC to facilitate spiritual direction. Identifying signs of hope and moments of pleasure are used to promote positive direction. Compassionate presence and listening with generosity allow time and space for questions regarding suffering and meaning.

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room. Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...

WUM COUNCIL: SDO VISITS HOLIDAY WORKERS.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children. The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour.
