Bishop Prof. Elizabeth Thuiya of Christ Remnant Revival Embassy, also known as the Delta House of cHouselergy, is pleased to announce a transformative opportunity for clergy and church leaders through a newly sponsored theology course. The initiative, spearheaded by the House of Clergy Reformation Nation’s University, which is affiliated with a USA chartered university, offers a range of accredited theology courses. These include certificate courses, higher diplomas, degrees, bachelor’s, and master’s programs.
This sponsorship aims to enhance the theological education of clergy and church leaders, empowering them with advanced knowledge and skills to better serve their communities. The program comes at a crucial time when the regulatory landscape for religious organizations is undergoing significant scrutiny and reform.
Recent recommendations from a task force, chaired by Rev. Mutava Musyimi, have highlighted the need for a hybrid regulatory framework to address issues within the religious sector. The task force’s report, presented to the president on July 30, 2024, identified several challenges, including the spread of cults and financial predatory practices in some churches.
The report called for the establishment of a proposed Religious Affairs Commission to oversee religious organizations and work with umbrella religious associations to strengthen self-regulation. It emphasized the need for a distinct legal framework tailored to the unique needs of religious organizations, clearer laws on crimes considered religious, and increased oversight on media programs that propagate exploitative ideologies.
The task force recommended the drafting and enactment of specific laws for religious organizations to provide clarity on legal personality, registration requirements, and criminal offenses committed under the guise of religion. This move aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and ethical practices within the religious sector.
In light of these developments, Bishop Prof. Thuiya’s initiative to offer fully sponsored theological education aligns with the ongoing efforts to professionalize and regulate the clergy. By providing access to accredited theological courses, the program seeks to support clergy in navigating the evolving regulatory environment and to foster a more informed and ethical leadership within the church.
For more information on how to enroll in the sponsored theology courses or to learn more about the House of Clergy Reformation Nation’s University, interested parties are encouraged to visit the official website or contact the administration directly. This initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening the clergy’s role and influence in addressing the challenges and opportunities within the religious sector.
