The need for the Church to be vocal and decisive against social vices have been acknowledged as vital to the growth of the Church and to Nigeria as a nation.

This was championed by Baba Banjo at a One-day Symposium, with the theme, “The Church and The Challenges of The 21st Century’’. The symposium was part of the activities set aside to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Church in Makoko on Tuesday.

The member of the Board of Trustee of the Church urged Churches in Nigeria to stand firm against lesbianism and sodomy. Banjo was quoted by PM News as saying: “As Churches, we must all know that we are expected to make the world a clean and a better place for all, instead of support things that the Holy Spirit does not want.

“We must know that the practice of Man-Knowing-Man, lesbianism, sodomy and others are odious and an aberration. God’s decision is that those who indulge in these practices be stoned to death.



“Something terrible is happening across the world today. As Churches, we should be in the forefront of making people realise the consequences of these actions,’’ he said.

He implored the Church to stand on its mandate of delivering quality Word of God and to ensure that their members desist from deliberately deviating from it.
