Anglican Church under pressure to accept gay – Primate

The Primate of Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has said the church would expel any of its priests who bows to gay pressure, Punch newspaper is reporting.

Okoh spoke during the dedication of ‘Lady Alice Chiebonam Ozumba Ultra-modern Maternity Complex,’Inyienu Mission Hospital, Ogidi, Anambra State.

He said the church was being lobbied to abandon the faith and accept gay, which he described as false teaching.

“People are lobbying us to abandon our faith and theology to embrace their false teaching. Unfortunately, some of our priests are already bowing to the pressure,” he said.

“If your priest is practising evil or keeping an evil alliance, and you know, raise your hand, be a whistle-blower so they won’t undermine our church. If they do, it will be difficult to rescue.

“If we all become homosexuals, who will give birth to who? If it’s now man to man, there won’t be any Inyienu maternity. God who created this world di it the excellent way, let no man tamper with it.”

The Primate regretted what he called “the subtle compromisers by some priests in the church, warning them to retrace their steps or risk being exposed.”
