The procedural and substantive regularity of Rumonge Diocese has been predominant since its inauguration in the 4th August 2023. The Diocese observes its certainty over all responsibilities as the Bride of Jesus Christ through reflecting all activities accomplished after a determined period. The Synod Conferences have been conducted for the purposes of ensuring the Church is Episcopally led and Synodically governed. This Anglican perspective as adopted by the Diocese shall enable all Rumonge Diocese participants to share the Syn and od, which respectively stand for “one way” and “one objective” in serving the Living God for His Church.
The Synod was conducted during the 10th January 2024 at the Cathédrale Kristo Umwami according to the Catholic Church of England (the Anglican Church) Common Principles into its mode and participation. The Conference focused on overviewing the Diocesan activities done during the last two years (2022 and 2023) as well as approving several matters including the initiation of new parishes among of other things.
