Methodist Church of Southern Africa minister Jacob Freemantle was inducted as the new bishop of the church’s Grahamstown district at a ceremony in Port Elizabeth yesterday.
Speaking at a special service at the Feather Market Hall attended by hundreds of congregants, Freemantle paid tribute to his mentor, Bishop Zipho Siwa, who presides over the whole church across all its districts.
“Today is a day of trepidation, a day of fear, but also a day of profound thankfulness for the work of God that you have done.
“You have been outstanding in grooming, mentoring and settling me and making me know the road ahead,” he said.
