On 10 October 2022, all ministers and members of the Cape-Coastal Apostle Area were invited to attend a meeting conducted by Apostle Bradley Bourne. 

This meeting was a follow-up session regarding the decision that was taken on women in ministry in our church as presented by Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider on 20 September 2022. 

The Apostle said that we all need to be exceptionally patient with this huge development in our church. The Apostolate is aware of the challenges and reactions we face in our culturally diverse church. The Apostle expressed the desire to provide support and clarity with a deep-rooted spiritual understanding of the gospel.

The members present also had the opportunity to ask questions. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Apostle asked Bishop Vernon Fisher to close the meeting with a prayer.
