The Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mamfe in the South West Region of Cameroon Bishop Andrew Nkea has said that the words of Saint Francis of Assisi should be resounding in the hearts and heads of every Christian.

In his homily delivered on the 4th of October 2014 during celebrations marking a new beginning for United OPSA USA, Bishop Andrew Nkea observed that the current crisis of OPSA in the United States should inspire every faithful follower of Christ to stand up for true Christian values which requires everyone to come out clearly and confess their sins before God.

Reflecting on the OPSA USA crisis, the Bishop of Mamfe revealed that: "What has been painful about this crisis of OPSA in the United States is that each one is blaming the other and each one is seeing the fault of the others.

No one is coming out clearly to confess their sins before God to say that this is my personal contribution to destroying the unity of OPSA in America; no one is owning up to say that I have sinned against God and against my sisters like the Prodigal Son. No one is saying that I shall arise and return to my Father".

The preaching Bishop hinted that defending the values of QRC Okoyoung, its rich history and dignity represents a great battle of life-time of every OPSAN, a battle OPSA must fight with the weapon of peace. He continued: "How can we then be true instruments of peace? I see this only in the backdrop of what we have just heard in the Gospel according to Luke; the hymn we commonly call the Magnificat.

In this vein, I will like to say that instead of singing the praises of Mary, let us imitate her virtues, and so whether Protestant or Catholic, Muslim or Non Believer, we can all imitate the virtues of this great woman in the scriptures".

His Lordship Bishop Andrew Nkea made a passionate appeal to all OPSANS in the USA to continue to cement the process of unity that started at the United OPSA Convention. The Bishop of Mamfe ended his stay with OPSANS in the US by making public a Diocesan Order stipulating that the Diocese of Mamfe shall recognize and deal only with the United OPSA USA.
