The resolution mentioned “that the Church has observed the rapid depreciation of the state of the Liberian economy and therefore recommend that the government convene a National Economic Conference of both national and international experts to discuss and derive ways and means to revive our fast-declining economy”.

“That the government of Liberia ensures the protection of its citizenry at all levels and at all times to avoid the waves of mysterious deaths in our country, it stated.
