PROTOCOL: Your Grace, the Dean Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas D. and Mama Nkasiobi Okoh, the Archbishops, Mama Angela Ndukuba, my lord Bishops, the lord Chancellor, Registrar of CON & DOA, Your Excellencies, my lords Temporal, House of Clergy and House Laity, Brothers and Sisters in Christ. PREAMBLE: In the Name of GOD, Amen. We welcome every one of us to this Holy Convocation, the Second Session of the Eleventh Synod of the Diocese of Abuja. God has been with us all through the challenges of our times, as a Nation. No doubt Nigeria is a country under siege but as God frustrated the siege of Sennacherib over Jerusalem, God will deliver Nigeria from the siege of the wicked for the sake of the Saints. For thus says the LORD “Once more the remnant of the house of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above. For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.”1 This Nation and the Church of God will survive and thrive better to fulfil the Divinely determined purpose of God. In times like these we need to hold unto God, He is the Lord of Host and will fight our battles. God will defend this city; this Nation, you and your family shall be safe. God is here in this Synod to guide, build, and bless His people. Expect God’s touch and help as He leads us into the future. You are welcome. 1 2Kings 19:30-31 [NIV] SYNOD RESOURCE PERSONS: There are Vessels prepared by God to minister to us, as follows: THE RT. REV’D DR.

    CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background to the Study Acts of conflict and violence occur daily in different parts of the world. This is due to a variety of motives, which include political fanaticism, ethnic hatred, religious extremism and ideological differences. Conflict is perennial and an ingredient towards the actualization of individual and group interests. According to S.A. Ayinla, it is a natural announcement of an impending re-classification of a society with changed characteristics and goals and with new circumstances of survival and continuity1. Conflict is a universal human experience. Its origin and nature are best explained within the framework of human nature and environment in which man lives2.Conflicts and violence are common factors in both secular and sacred institutions. In spite of the fact that the church is believed to be a holy institution ordained by God, she has never at any time outgrown conflicts and violence. This is due to the fact that, the affairs of the church are administered by human beings who are not always perfect or faultless. By 1975, the Warri Diocese, Anglican Communion, had not existed as a corporate Christian entity.

This report introduces some of the main dynamics that characterize the contemporary Christian population of Nigeria, with a focus on Christianity in northern Nigeria. It sketches the origins of the divide between ‘old’ and ‘new’ Christian movements and presents data on the demographics and diversity of Nigerian Christianity, suggesting that there are five main Christian movements in Nigeria: the Roman Catholics, the ‘orthodox’ Protestants, the African Protestants, the Aladura churches, and finally the Pentecostals. Furthermore, the paper discusses some of the ways in which Nigerian Christians are positioning themselves and their religion in Nigeria’s public sphere.

    Gafcon – Russell Powell

    What is Gafcon – Russell Powell I do sympathise with you this afternoon sitting there on those chairs! Please stay with us this afternoon because I think what Phillip has to say next is extremely important. While I have sympathised with you, I will give you an opportunity to sympathise with me. What we will spend two and a half hours listening to this afternoon is what I have two minutes to brief journalists on, and what the archbishop has 20 seconds to comment on in the media. Not an easy task. My purpose over the next couple of minutes is to unfold some of the aims of the Global Anglican Future Conference and then some of the detail. The speakers before me have set the scene in which it takes place. The organisers, including Archbishop Jensen have been meeting this week in England. In their preparations they have restated the goals of the conference that will be useful if I mention here. The Goals are – 1. Provide an opportunity for fellowship, to continue to experience and proclaim the transforming love of Christ. 2. Develop a renewed understanding of our identity as Anglican Christians within our current context. 3. Prepare for an Anglican future in which the Gospel is un-compromised and Christ- centred mission a top priority. The idea for such a conference came out of a meeting of Primates and Bishops in Nairobi in December. The event was not designed to be an alternative Lambeth – if you had wanted to do that you would have put it on at the same time as Lambeth.

  • Not English, but Anglican’

    Not English, but Anglican’

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-00866-2 - A History of Global Anglicanism Kevin Ward Excerpt More information chapter 1 Introduction: ‘not English, but Anglican’ The Anglican communion describes itself as a ‘fellowship’ or ‘commu- nion’ of autonomous Christian churches, united by a common history, confessing a common faith and (traditionally) a common liturgy. There are thirty-eight distinct and independent Anglican churches or ‘pro- vinces’, existing in a particular country or spread over a number of countries. Provinces vary in size from the big churches such as the Church of England (26 million baptised members), the Church of Nigeria (17.5 million), the Church of Uganda (8 million) and the Episcopal Church of Sudan (5 million) to the tiny communities of the Southern Cone of America (22,490), Mexico (21,000), the Anglican Church of Korea (14,558) and the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East 1 (10,000). This book is an attempt to write a history of the Anglican communion from its inception as a worldwide faith, at the time of the Reformation, to the present day. While it does not ignore the contribution of the Church of England or of those of British extraction who have established Anglican churches in other parts of the world, its emphasis is on the activity of the indigenous peoples of Asia and Africa, Oceania and America in creating and shaping the Anglican communion. In the British Isles, attention is paid to Welsh, Irish and Scottish contributions, not least because they played a disproportionate part in the establishment of Anglican churches in other parts of the world, both as colonists and as missionaries.
