Towerby church awaits fire probe after chalices, Bibles survive blaze
The New Apostolic Church, South Africa, says it is waiting for the results of an investigation into the cause of the fire that destroyed its Towerby church in Johannesburg.
An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire that destroyed the Towerby church in Johannesburg, South Africa, according to the New Apostolic Church, South Africa. The blaze occurred on Tuesday, August 25, and resulted in extensive damage to the building, with nothing else salvageable. Holy Communion chalices and Bibles, however, "miraculously" survived the fire.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains unknown at this stage. The church is awaiting the results of the investigation and an assessment of the damage to the building to determine the next steps regarding property restoration or rebuilding. The church leadership team is making arrangements for the upcoming Sunday's divine service with the Apostle and will communicate the plan once confirmed.
The congregation has been encouraged to pray for the church and its District Apostle, who will decide on the best course of action for housing the congregation.
