A two- man delegation from the Pilgrim for Christ Ministry (PCM) today participated in a one-day ecumenical symposium held at the Oakdale Wesleyan Church, MN, under the auspices of the Wesleyan USA General Conference. The symposium brought together religious leaders, including pastors and other members of the laity within the Wesleyan International Conference.   The two-man delegation included the Senior Pastor and co-founder of PCM, Reverend Alphonso Johnson, and Evangelist Edward William Carter, Jr., co-founder and Church Administrator.

The Conference was designed to renew, rekindle and retool Ministers of the Gospel and other church leaders for greater stewardship, personal holiness, multi-cultural outreach and Godly leadership.

She said that, the church can no longer remain a “pew Congregation,” but must reach out to All of God’s people no matter their race, creed or culture.

She disclosed that the Wesleyan Church International through the World Hope International, Inc...A charitable arm of the Wesleyan compact is involved in intensive outreach program in several third-world countries, including Liberia.

Speaking earlier to our correspondent, the Co-founder of PCM, Evangelist Edward Carter, said that the Christian church should become more pro-active and missional by speaking out against the ills of society. He frowned on the passive attitude of some Liberian religious leaders who fail to speak out against contemporary issues of social and moral concerns in the community.

He said that Such righteousness should be translated into a “purging and remedial influence upon society.”
