Our Leadership
Founder
Archbishop Professor
The idea of forming COCSAI came from Prof. Mvubu back in 2009, at the time when he was Chairperson of the South African Council of Churches (SACC). He saw an emptiness and turned it into an opportunity to start an ecumenical board that would cover an international platform, to preach the gospel and unite people to eradicate poverty and combat crime. He created the slogan that, "The Church must reclaim its rightful position". (MHSRIP)
