THE
Bishop of Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Omu Aran, Kwara Diocese, Rt.
Rev. Philip Adeyemi, yesterday said the church in Nigeria would never be a
signatory to same sex marriages, especially in Nigeria.
Speaking
at the Trinity Ordination with Collation of an Archdeacon of the Church in Omu
Aran yesterday, Rt. Rev. Adeyemi said marriages between members of the same sex
was not only satanic but antithetical to the survival of human race.
“As
a church we shall not bend to the whims and caprices of that wicked doctrine in
Nigeria. Anyone who follows this evil way is changing God’s plan for the spread
and growth of humanity.”
The
clergy, who commended the Kwara state government on infrastructural development
efforts in the Ilorin metropolis, which had resulted in motorable roads in most
parts of the state capital, said such gesture should be extended to the rural
agrarian areas of the state to enhance food production and transportation.
Besides,
urged the state government to create more employment opportunities for teeming
unemployed youth in the state, particularly, those in the grassroots areas to
discourage rural-urban migration.
The
diocesan bishop, who commended the anti-graft steps and activities so far,
carried out by President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, prayed God to
assist the federal government to achieve people-oriented programmes.
He,
however, charged the President to follow due process and rule of law in the
process of wiping out corruption, adding that he should discourage
witch-hunting, “because we know him as a man of integrity,” he said.
The
clergy, who said the diocese of the church condemned homosexuality in all
forms, added that God did not make any mistake in creating man and woman,
adding that practice of homosexuality is a curse.
