From Nigeria-
Archbishop of the Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Anglican
Diocese, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, yesterday, said the Province will
not shut any of its branches over the Coronavirus pandemic.
He said shutting the church at a time like this would mean giving the
devil an opportunity to ravage the people and the country, Sun News
reports.
Chukwuma faulted the order of government to close churches
and places of worship. He said it is unfortunate and wrong to
categorise church and worship centres with drinking parlours, night
clubs, markets and companies.
The cleric said he would not shut the churches
because he is not the owner, as the church belongs to Jesus Christ,
adding that if people were stopped from “running to their God in worship
in a time like now the whole world is in confusion, where would they
run to for safety, help and deliverance?”
