PRAISES FOR ANGLICAN COMMUNION

An Islamic leader in Ondo State, Alhaji Ibrahim Kilani has urged Nigerian political class to emulate the Anglican Communion in the pattern of its succession process to the highest positions in the church which is always devoid of rancour.

Kilani spoke while giving a speech at the Synod of Akoko Diocese holding at the St. Stephens Cathedral Church, Ikare-Akoko._
In attendance were over 500 delegates from various archdeaconries within the diocese led by the Diocesan, Rt. Rev Gabriel Akinbiyi.

Kilani, who is the chairman, Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) in Akoko North East Local Government Area also praised the leadership role of Akinbiyi in areas of education just like the Ansar ud deen Society of Nigeria (AUD).

The theme of the Synod is “Salvation by Grace through Faith and for Good Work.”
He said:” We need to join hands and pray for the new administration of President Muhammadu Buhari so that the various problems confronting the country can be surmounted and life becomes bearable for the citizens.

The NIREC chairman called for more religious tolerance to facilitate peace that would attract many investors from outside the country for business purposes.
At the occasion, Bishop Akinbiyi urged politicians to give Nigerians positive change that would enable the country to witness economic transformation.

CMS ANNIVERSARY: BISHOP ORJI ADMONISHES CHRISTIANS TO EVANGELIZE THE WOR...

Every member of our Diocese is a missionary in North America because God has called us to salvation and sent us to proclaim his word. This is urgent partly because our culture is no longer Christian, in fact it is openly hostile to the Christian Faith. Our goal is to tell the good news of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus to our pagan relatives, friends, colleagues and society with gentleness and respect so that they might repent of sin, believe in Christ and be sav ed. That is the mission of our Diocese. This entails sacrifice and shame and suffering. The CMS missionaries suffered and many died to give the gospel to Africa.
