"Agyati is a sleepy community along the Bamenda - Bafut Palace road that suddenly became a busy tourist attraction on Saturday, January 21, as hundreds of people streamed across to the Sisterhood Emmanuel Monastery of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, to be part of a history-making event. Three Presbyterian women: Sisters Stephanie, Shalom and Clare publicly renounced marriage and property to serve God the whole of their lives. A palpable atmosphere of joy and expectancy reigned in the crowd that gathered in the church to await the occasion. So, many who could not find a place inside the church hustled for space near loudspeakers connected outside the chapel to follow the ceremony." -
Note: Fourteen years ago I traveled to Cameroon. While there I visited the Sisterhood Emmanuel Monastery. A beautiful place, such hospitality. At the time of my visit the Sisters were just beginning to take care of a growing orphan population. They make beautiful handmade cards to raise funds.
In honor of my Presbyterian brothers and sisters in Cameroon I've added several new links in the right column. Check them out!
