Christians must ensure success of general election – Cleric

“We must therefore make every effort to know what the faith is and be willing to contend for it and refuse to be carried away by human philosophies and fables.

“We must contend for the faith that is delivered to us and we should use this election as part of the way to contend for this faith,” he said.

The bishop also urged members of the church to support its numerous projects for the growth of the church, adding that the diocese had remained strong, spiritually vibrant, and very active in serving humanities.

In her remarks, the wife of the archbishop, Mrs Phoebe Edeh, urged parents especially mothers to caution their children and wards against engaging in electoral violence.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the synod is the highest decision making body of the church where its activities are reviewed and resolved ways of moving the church forward.

The three-day synod was attended by clerics in the church, elders, knights and ladies as well as church members.
