Cazenga - Delegates to the sixth Episcopal Conference of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the World 'The Tocoists' highlighted the contribution of African messianic movements in the process of independence of Angola, achieved on November 11, 1975.
According to the Final Communiqué of Saturday's event, to which ANGOP had access today (Sunday), the Episcopal Conference emphasized the capacity for social and spiritual mobilization in times of colonial oppression of these movements.
