Anglican Bishops condemn Islamic banking


From Nigeria-

The over 20 Bishops of the Anglican Diocese of Sapele, weekend, condemned the introduction of Islamic banking in the country.

In a communique issued at the end of their First Synod held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ogharefe, Delta State, the bishops urged the government to “review the conditions for the approval of non-interest banking and make all possible amendment that would ensure the interest of every religious group in Nigeria”.

The communique read by the host, Bishop Blessing Avbenayaeri Erifeta, also tasked political leaders to alleviate the sufferings of the masses, as this is their service to God.

The Ccommuniqué signed by Bishop Erifeta and Rev. Canon T. O. Usikaro, the Synod Clerical secretary, also condemned Boko Haram extremism, the wanton killing of NYSC members in some states, ritual killing and kidnapping in Nigeria.
