Clerics around the City of Kigali called on Rwandans to maintain peace and evaluate their 2014 performance if they are to do well in the New Year, 2015. Various churches that The New Times visited yesterday shared the same message, as Christians attended New Year’s Day prayers. At Saint Michel Cathedral in Kigali, Monsignor Thadée Ntihinyurwa, the Archbishop of Kigali, said the New Year should be characterised with peace, unity, and prosperity among Christians. He stressed the essence of the message of Pope Francis, saying churches should avoid complacency in dealing with slavery and human trafficking issues because they ruin the church and the lives of people. “Churches, clergy, civil society, government and any other player should never sit on their laurels but rather should actively prevent and eradicate slavery, injustice, inequality and selfishness so as to achieve welfare for all creation,” he said.
