The small Christian communities from St. Augustine's Cathedral parish today assembled for a joint Jumuiya at the church to receive clarifications on the church teaching on the sacrament of matrimony. Speaking during the meeting, His lordship Bishop Dominic Kimengich elaborated on the Cannon law on the sacrament of marriage and gave the faithfuls an open forum to ask questions on the same sacrament. His lordship stressed on the three core things in the marriage where he talked on the unity of the two people husband and wife, The insolubility of the Marriage where by he said that the two people blessed in church cannot be separated by anybody since God has bounded them in the holy sacrament of Matrimony. He also mentioned on the third aspect of being open to children where by they are supposed to reproduce and fill the earth as a command from God and bring children up in his loving care and in good morals. His lordship emphasized on the importance of life and explained on the stand of the church towards contraceptives and Abortion. He added that contraceptives destroy life. He encouraged the faithfuls to learn to keep the commandments of God and be people who dwell in prayers and all their troubles will be solved by Jesus Christ. Various people asked questions on the marriage life and his lordship answered them and also promised to consult the marriage healing committee to organise for more talks in future. He thanked the faithfuls for coming in large numbers and for their active participation in the discussion.
