Symposium to tackle accessibilty to land

Home National Symposium to tackle accessibilty to land

Windhoek

In order to find solutions to some of the contemporary problems that beset society, churches will next week hold a symposium on issues that affect people – such as poverty, access to land and gender-based violence.

The meeting in Windhoek slated for next week on Thursday and Friday will also discuss democracy in Namibia..
In a telephonic interview with New Era yesterday, Reverend Maria Kapere, the secretary general of the Council of Churches of Namibia (CCN) said hosting the symposium was necessitated by the fact the church has been silent on contemporary issues affecting ordinary people.

“We want to align ourselves so that we are more involved in contemporary issues,” explained Kapere. Although it is the first time that such a symposium will be held, Kapere noted that the symposium would be results-driven as the church wants to play a more catalytic role in the lives of people.

“We want to look at how the church and local authorities cooperate in order to address housing,” said Kapere.
Government ministries, faith-based organisations and members of the community include some of those who have been invited to form part of the 350 people to attend the conference.
