THE Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria, Anglican Church, Most Reverend Nicholas D. Okoh, on Monday, condemned killings of Christians in some parts of the country.
Most Reverend Okoh, who disclosed this while delivering his welcome address at the 2013 Divine Commonwealth Conference of the Anglican Church, however, thanked God for bringing the participants to the event safely.
Over 6,000 delegates are currently in Abuja for the third edition of the conference, holding in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to him, the theme of the conference, “Go Forward,” was prayerfully chosen to encourage faithful, in the face of current difficult circumstances and seemingly insurmountable challenges daring Christian faith.
The cleric who wondered how Christians could go forward, in the face of opposition and constant attack to the church, said “we need to operate the kind of faith that Joshua and Caleb exhibited, when they silenced the faithless people,” stressing that “we must adopt a no retreat, no surrender approach in our walk with God, for with Him on our side, we are more than conquerors.”
