The immediate past
Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere, has congratulated His Lord
Bishop, Rt. Revrd. Dr. Chukwuma Opara and laity of Church of
Nigeria, Anglican Communion on their Synod 2019.
Madumere’s message was
sent to the St. Luke Anglican Church, Achi-Mbieri, Ezinihitte autonomous
community, Mbaitoli local government area of Imo State, the former Deputy
Governor's home town, as he described Synod as the church council where issue
of doctrines, administrations, and where general decisions are made for the
progress of the church in so far as they are not in contradistinction with
biblical injunctions.
Using the opportunity
to charge the new Bishop of Owerri Diocese to be courageous while discharging
the divine duties God has assigned him to discharge, Madumere said that as Anglicans,
we look forward to synod because it is our parliament, a council where issues
that boarder on the doctrines and administration of the church are
discussed.
"I wish us a very
successful deliberation. I wish to also call on Anglicans to rally round our
Lord Bishop to deliver on this heavenly task. I must say that we in Achi are
very happy that we playing host to this solemn gathering. It is our earnest prayers
that after our efforts here on earth, God will also help us to be partakers of
His heavenly kingdom.
"You people in
the media should equally know that why we have leadership problem is because
our politicians do not feel responsible to God. God's ordnance is founded on
love and when you love your people you cannot cheat them. You build a bridge
without steel reinforcement and still have the temerity to make a notice.
"I hereby call on
all and sundry to return to God and fear Him, then we can be assured that our
state and the country at large will be uplifted in all ramifications."
Meanwhile, this Synod
is the first Bishop Opara will superintend since his emergence as the
Bishop of Owerri Diocese of Anglican communion and the 2nd synod in the 21st
session of the Diocese.
The Synod, which began
yesterday September 3rd will end on Sunday, September 6, 2019.
