Bishop Ekwe urged them to promote unity, peace and love among all people, especially among those they serve and advised their wives to be supportive to their husbands for effective ministry.
Delivering a sermon, the retreatant and the Clerical Synod Secretary of the Diocese, Venerable Dr. Charles Chukwurah who spoke on " The minister of the end time church" said that every dispensation has its challenge but this dispensation has many challenges including false teachings.
Ven. Dr. Chukwurah said that God has been anointing and empowering ministers for his work as the church needs ministers who will continue with the work of redemption and salvation noting that end time church needs ministers whose hearts are prepared urging them to teach the word of God.
