| Reverend Sisters At #IWD event in Bamenda |
The Bamenda Commercial avenue ceremonial ground witnessed an
uncommon participation of Religious women in Women’s Day #IWA celebrations
March 8, 2015. Reverend Sisters of the Roman Catholic Church in Bamenda as well
as a nondenominational religious group received exceptional recognition as they
marched passed before the administrators, traditional rulers and many others
who showed up for the event. According to some of the Reverend Sisters who
spoke to hilltopvoices they were
participating with two issues in mind – they are first of all women before
being Reverend Sisters and secondly they are observing the year of consecrated life
thus participating in this year’s women’s Day activity is a means of
sensitization.

Dressed in sky blue gowns, a group of women carrying Bibles
stormed the grand. Their dressing was good enough to tell anyone who cared that
this was not a social group. With their Bibles in hand it became clearer that
they had a Christian background. Talking to hilltopvoices while marching on of
the women said “we are a nondenominational group of women with the mission to
carry to all parts of the world the good news message of Jesus Christ”
Both Groups received thunderous applause from the population
as they marched on.
