A
guest preacher, Rt. Reverend Ezekiel Dahunsi of the Diocese of Idoani,
in a homily, lamented that Christians had been entangled and carried
away by cares and worries of life, rather than the things of God that
lead to eternal bliss.
The
Bishop on the Niger, Rt. Reverend Owen Nwokolo, called on Christians to
preach and live out the teachings of the gospel in their lives.
He
described his project, the Camp of Light Retreat Centre, to be sited in
Umunya, Anambra State, as a spiritual refreshing centre that would
address the various problems confronting Nigerians and a place that
would accommodate at least 30,000 people for purification and strength.
The
parish priest of St. Monica Anglican Church, Onitsha, Reverend Mike
Egbuonu, described the synod as the best meeting of the church.
Egbuonu, however, thanked God for a successful synod and prayed that it would be a grace to the diocese.
