Bishops endorse Catholic journalists association

The Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) has approved the Association of Catholic Journalists (ACJ) as one of the bodies to help the church in its evangelisation mission.

The approval was made on January 27 at Msamba Prayer House in Lilongwe during the ECM first plenary meeting in 2012.

“We hope that we will continue working together in collaboration for the betterment of the Catholic Church especially in evangelisation and you will take to heart the good of the Church,” said ECM president Bishop Joseph Zuza.

ACJ’s president Deogratias Mmana thanked the bishops for approving the association and pledged to work together with the church.

The bishops’ approval means that ACJ can start embarking on its activities. It comprises a membership of Catholic journalists with interest to help the church in evangelization.
