Catholic Archbishop Christopher Cardone OP is calling on all Christian leaders in the country to work together to spread the word of God.
He made this call during the ordination of the new Bishop of Auki Diocese on Saturday, January 24, at Fasitoro Catholic Cathedral, Auki.
He said that on every occasion when he visited and toured, he always recalled when he first came to the Solomon Islands as Bishop of Auki Diocese and was invited by Anglican Bishop Terry Brown to one of their occasions.
“I was very happy when I first came and became the first bishop for Auki Diocese, when my beloved brother, the late Terry Brown, on behalf of the Anglican Community, gave me the cross that I am still holding onto until this time,” he said.
“Every time I toured and visited different places, especially ordinations like this, our brothers and sisters from the Anglican community are with us. They celebrate and participate with us,” he said.
Meanwhile, Cardone said he hopes that they continue with the spirit that exists in the Solomon Islands among all the different Christian communities.
He added that through this journey, the Catholic Church will lead the way to preach the good news of the Gospel.
