MIRI: The Roman Catholic Bishop of Miri the Right Reverend Anthony Lee received a surprise anniversary celebration as the bishop of Miri for 32 years during a break of the 16th Human Life International Asia Pacific Congress on Faith, Life & Family.
“This is the biggest anniversary celebration I ever had,” said Lee before more than 600 participants from 17 countries taking part in the congress organised by the Human Life Services Centre.
“And the smallest cake, ” he said in jest making the participants broke out in laughter.
“Not only is the cake the smallest but it's chocolate and I hate chocolate, but I must still swallow this bitter pill which is symbolic,” he added.
Not only much revered but much loved by the catholics in the Miri diocese, Lee was instrumental in promoting the pro-life movement in Miri with the setting up of the Human Life Services Centre.
He travelled even to the rural areas spreading the message of the gospel of life as he began to see in his struggle as an pro-life activist the evil of the culture of death spread through the promotion of abortion and contraception. ENDS.
