Call Your Members to Order, Nigerian Anglican Church Bishop Tells Islamic Leaders

The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has urged Moslem leaders in the country to call their members involved in the killing of Christians in the North to order, warning that Christians could no longer continue to be on the receiving end during riots in any part of Nigeria.

In a speech delivered at the second session of the 28th synod of the Diocese on the Niger, taking place at the Immanuel Church, Onitsha, the Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev.

    May the Lord convict and stop those Imams and politicians who foster violence and civil disorder around the world as a means of political change. In the Middle East, mob rule, destruction and assassination have been a frequent means of change and expression of displeasure as we see every day in the news.

    Bombings, violence and corruption are a part of daily life there. May these abhorrent and intolerable practices cease to be tolerated there or anywhere else.
