As the world wraps up the 16-days annual Gender Based Violence (GBV) activism, the Anglican Church has once again joined forces in calling on the nation to refrain from any acts of violence, stressing that any violent skirmishes are tantamount to sin, which is against the Lord.

The call was made Sunday December 8 2013 in Blantyre by Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Southern Malawi, His Lordship Dr James Tengatenga at the St. Paul’s Cathedral, as he bade farewell after serving the Diocese as a Bishop for 15 years.
