Sydney Barson| Clerics from all walks of life Sunday, hailed Rev Dr. Kenneth Mtata, for transforming the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) to be a force to reckon with in his five - year span at the helm of the ecumenical body.
Yesterday was Rev. Dr. Mtata's 5th anniversary at ZCC.
In an online post, Rev Mtata took time to appreciate all who made his ministry worthwhile.
"It has been five years since I arrived at the then Harare International Airport to assume my duty as ZCC General Secretary.
"I have learnt a lot about Organisational change management, Ecumenical Christianity and its relationship with the state, Civil society, and family life and work relationship." Said Rev Dr. Mtata.
Meanwhile Rev Dr. Mpofu of the University of Zimbabwe heaped plaudits on Rev Mtata saying the ZCC has indeed transformed to a prophetic institution.
"A pilgrimage well undertaken! Thank you so much for your visionary leadership which has transformed the Council of Churches into being truly prophetic, pastoral and priestly in her engagement ring real estate." Said Rev Dr. Mpofu.
Rev Majaha Nhliziyo of the United Congregational Church of Christ (UCCSA) praised Rev Mtata for his ability to uplift many.
"Amhlophe GS. Thank you for the way you've executed your role especially how you've given a lift to many in the ecumenical fraternity. To God be the glory." Said Rev Nhliziyo.
Rev Soza of the United Church of Christ in Zimbabwe (UCCZ) also weighed in to say he has become much wiser through Rev Dr. Mtata's influence.
"I have a lot on my bag from your leadership.
Thank you for exposing to us your God given gift of leadership." Rev Soza said.
To date the ZCC has opened regional and provincial offices around the country and is engaged in strengthening capacities of its member Churches, engendering the Church's mission, supporting communities with humanitarian work, promoting economic justice and sensitizing the Church on meaningful involvement of the disabled in Church programs.
