Edward Tamba Charles

Edward Tamba Charles (18 April 1956) is a Sierra Leonean prelate of the Catholic Church who serves as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Freetown. Quotes The planting of the Catholic Church in this country was a very costly, indeed very bloody, enterprise, in terms of human lives lost. It is very important, therefore, that we keep alive the memory of this tragic chapter in the history of our Church in Sierra Leone. But it is even more important that we maintain and promote a missionary consciousness at all levels in our local Church as it is the best homage we could pay to those who sacrificed their lives in the process of establishing the Church in our land. “150th Anniversary of the Death of Msgr.
