COUNCIL FOR CLERGY AND LAITY CONTINUING EDUCATION
THE VISION
The Vision of forming this council is born out of the deep yearning of the Lord Bishop in the year 2009 during the First session of the First synod, the Rt. Rev. Innocent U. Ordu, JP, to raise godly and committed leaders in our diocese through trainings and re-training of members.
We have continued to seek ways of enhancing the spiritual and intellectual capacity of our Clergy, their wives and other categories of Diocesan Ministers.
