Canterbury Archbishop’s visit: PM crowns pastoral tour with audience.

She was accompanied to the audience by several officials, among them the head of the Anglican Church in Cameroon, His Lordship Dibo Babynton Elango; the British High Commissioner to Cameroon, H.E Mathew Woods, and other clergy.

Same Monday, Her Grace Mullally visited the Anglican Parish of Yegassi on the outskirts of Yaounde. 

During the visit, she praised the place of the church in grassroots development and economic empowerment.

She was also updated on a project to construct a facility for community services. Archbishop Mullally also took interest in an anti-fungal treatment for cocoa in the area.

The audience at the Star Building was the summit of her visit to the country, which took her to the South West, Littoral and the Centre Regions. 

In a post on his X, formerly Twitter handle, after the audience with the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, PM Dion Ngute noted that their meeting “was marked by a spirit of faith and fellowship”.

The Prime Minister disclosed that he and the Most Reverend Sarah Mullally, reviewed the contribution of the Anglican Communion to evangelisation in the interest of faith and peacebuilding in Cameroon.

The PM's comments tied with the messages that Her Grace Sarah Mullally, delivered during her different engagements in Buea and Douala. 

In the course of her visit to Buea, the spiritual leader reiterated the need for deliberate peacebuilding efforts, the promotion of education, healthcare and community life.

The Most Reverend Mullally also indicated that she came to Cameroon in the name of Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace. 

She added that peace sparks from the point of a person’s relationship with God, then spreads to those around and the community.

According to her, peace is the foundation on which societies and countries find their economic stability and bearing. On this note, Mullally called for deliberate actions to enhance peacebuilding. 

To the Anglican Communion in Cameroon, the prelate prescribed consistency in community life, education and healthcare alongside the mission of evangelisation in the name of Jesus Christ.

While noting that education and healthcare access transform communities, Mullally declared that education helps “people to find their voice, their life and to have access to all those things that so many of us take for granted”. 

She emphasised that the gain is even more for the vulnerable and “…those who have less”. 

On Sunday, August 2, 2026, the Anglican Church leader delivered a sermon during a church service. 

She used the service to assure the people of continuous prayers, especially for the Anglican Church in Cameroon.

“…I come also bringing with me the prayers of the Anglican Communion. I will carry your stories with me when I leave and I will encourage others to pray for you.  I give thanks to God for your faithfulness and for your persistence in proclaiming the hope of Jesus Christ amid the suffering of your people,” the Archbishop said.

It was attended among others by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, Miki Hans Abia; and the Governor of the Littoral Region, Samuel Ivaha Diboua.
