| A banner of a students’ parish |
The birth of students’ parishes or fellowships in tertiary institutions have not helped to improve the brand of the church within the tertiary institutions they are situated. This was revealed by Seun Elijah in an article titled, “Top issues in CCC: How we drag CCC internationally.”
In the article Elijah listed multiple reasons why the church is mostly dominated by West African of the yoruba and egun tribes and seen as a cult group by non members of the church. He argued that a well established students’ parish will help to eradicate the negative perceptions against the church.
He frowned at the use of Yoruba language rather than English language in conducting services in students’ parishes. “Imagine student parishes in nigeria conducting yoruba services weekly! Student parishes could be the most successful set of parishes if they do what is right. First is the adoption of all English-speaking parish, also House to House evangelism and Cell meetings. There are many of their friends in school and environs who could join them as Celestians.” Elijah advised.
Furthermore, he disagreed with the notion by some members of the church that the angels of the church do not understand English. He described such belief as an insult to the unity of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit.
According to him, “Imagine the belief of some CCC members and elders that CCC angels do not understand english and spirit cannot bestow well during renditions of english music and ordering of services. Is that not blasphemy against the trinity?”

I'm LEVI M YANSUNNU (LESELUSOSCHOFFAYANSUNNU@hotmail.com Not bad your idea but with the difference that such proposal had been in the past time of CCC in the year 1964 at Porto-Novo, which the Founder disagreeded.
ReplyDeleteAngels aren't human creatures but spiritual ones; so they have access to languages worlwide if not they can't perform their daily missions to humankind.
Papa OSCHOFFA dindn't reject that opinion; but He said He was afraid young and students change the tenet and mode of worship in CCC moreover prostitution and all marked in Roman 1: 18 to 32: and indeed the Founder was right and even got annoyed when his first boy our Head EMF OSCHOFFA according to rumors was about to get married then to a white lady.
HE the Founder Himself at the age of 26 to 30, was very skill to escape a franco-british girl dating Him then in Porto-Novo. This occured during the colonial period.
Till the founder gave ghost, He never allowed linguistic groupe in CCC maybe in countries but not in special gatherring like your proposal up.
I can explain more but don't have enough time for it.
Tank you
