Meanwhile, in a notable development within Nigeria’s religious community, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been honored with a new assignment. Pastor Adeboye was recently appointed as the Patron of the Ecumenical Synod of Bishops, Archbishops, and Senior Clergy Inc. (ESBAASC). The announcement was made during the group’s international conference held from August 22 to 25 at Emmanuel Park, RCCG Redemption Camp.
The conference, themed “Religious Tolerance in Nigeria and Across the Nations of the World,” focused on addressing challenges and strategies related to religious tolerance. The ESBAASC, an alliance of Christian leaders, aims to promote unity and dialogue among Christian denominations and foster religious cooperation and understanding.
Archbishop Prof. Kehinde Olubunmi, the International Prelate and Chief Host, nominated Pastor Adeboye for the patronage, a decision that received a standing ovation from the audience. Archbishop Prof. Mary Ajisafe of the Peace of God Ministry in Lagos was also appointed as Matron of ESBAASC.
During the conference, Pastor Adeboye reflected on his past experiences with interfaith relations and emphasized the importance of religious tolerance. He highlighted how his early interactions with people of different religions were characterized by peaceful coexistence. The Pastor stressed that religious and sectarian violence in Nigeria is often politically motivated and exacerbated during periods of economic and social instability.
Pastor Adeboye urged attendees to advocate for religious tolerance, emphasizing that true Christian values prioritize love and the preservation of life over violence and division. His new role with ESBAASC underscores his continued commitment to fostering unity and understanding among diverse religious communities.
As Ruth Kadiri celebrates her daughter’s birthday, the Nigerian public also looks on as Pastor Adeboye takes on a significant role in promoting religious harmony and cooperation in the country and beyond.
