From Nigeria-
Clergy and laity of the Esan Diocese, Anglican Communion during the weekend embarked on a procession in Uromi, over the burning of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of Edo State by suspected arsonists.
The Anglicans who were dressed in black, marched through the ever busy Ubiaja Road from Eguare Primary School to Angle 90 before returning to the burnt church.
They carried placards with various inscriptions and sang songs of lamentations as they marched through the road.
Speaking on the procession, the Archbishop of Bendel Province and Bishop of Esan Diocese, Most Rev’d Friday Imaekhai (pictured) said the exercise was designed to invoke God to forgive those behind the burning of the church, as they do not know what they have done.
Archbishop of Imaekhai said burning of God’s church was a form of gate of hell, as the consequences would always be disastrous.
He noted that they were taking advantage of the lent period , which is a time of seeking forgiveness of sin and repentance to embrace Christ.
