—–Calls for Unity, Accountability, and Hope Council of Churches (LCC)
The Liberia Council of Churches has reaffirmed Rev. Dr. Samuel B. Reeves,Jr, as President,LCC.
In fulfilment of his new focus for the LCC, Rev. Reeves recounted events of the 35th Annual Assembly, the Liberia Council of Churches (LCC), which sought to celebrate good public service.
Rev. Reeves stated that the intention of the LCC was to foster national healing and model the values of reconciliation. ‘That intention was sincere’.
“However, we humbly acknowledge that the inclusion of both Speakers, especially in light of recent national tensions, was seen by many as poorly timed.”
“We have heard the public’s voice, not as hostility, but as heartfelt reverence for the LCC’s enduring role as a moral compass. The concern expressed is not rooted in rejection, but in protection. It is born from love, not loathing. It is a call to preserve the integrity of an institution long trusted to speak truth to power, defend the voiceless, and hold leadership accountable.”
“The LCC stands not as a perfect body but as a principled one, anchored in self-correction, truth, and courage.”
“The nation has endured seasons of crisis, including the pain of seeing a part of our capitol scarred by fire. We must never forget those wounds. But in remembering, we must also lead with renewed commitment to justice, peace, and collective restoration.” Rev. Reeves stated.
The Baptist Cleric noted that as Liberia moves forward, the LCC remains devoted to fostering unity without compromising conviction, and to promoting reconciliation without erasing accountability. “Ours is a sacred responsibility: to nurture the moral soul of the nation and to remain a fearless voice of advocacy and hope.” Rev. Reeves averred.
He reminded Liberians to embrace the moment not for division, but a turning point. stressing ‘Let it serve as a reaffirmation of our shared desire for integrity in public life and compassion in national dialogue’.
“We remain anchored in peace. Rooted in justice. Reconciled in hope.” A statement by Rev. Dr. Samuel B. Reeves,Jr, President,LCC read.
