During this year’s convention, with the theme ‘’Don’t Give Up” held at the weekend, delegates were urged to be mindful of the danger of child abuse and the need for parents to take practical steps to protect their children.
Highlighting the topic, ‘’safeguard your children from what is evil’’, the speaker stated that sexual abuse ‘’is a frightening and unpleasant reality in today’s world’’.

The 2017 regional convention of Jehovah’s witnesses continues around the world, parents have been urged to take personal interest in their children and protect them against the danger of sexual abuse.
He noted that God has given parents the primary responsibility of protecting their children against any form of abuse warning that in most cases, child molesters are someone the child already knows and trust and not strangers.

I Fear For The pope – Vatican Auditor

 

The Vatican’s former auditor general, who resigned without explanation in June, said  he was forced out after his investigations into possible illegal activity hit too close to home. 

 “Let me be clear: I did not voluntarily resign. I was threatened with arrest,” Libero Milone said in an interview conducted with four media outlets including Italy’s Corriere della Sera daily. 

The auditing whizz, who spent much of his career with the audit firm Deloitte & Touche and was hired to much fanfare in 2015, said high-ranking figures in the Vatican wanted to scupper Pope Francis’s financial reform efforts. “I fear very sorry for the pope. I had a splendid, indescribable relationship with him, but over the last 18 months they stopped me seeing him. Obviously they didn’t want me telling him about some of the things I’d seen,” he said. While a non-disclosure agreement prevents him from giving details of the irregularities he uncovered, Milone suggested his troubles began when he hired an outside firm to check whether the computers of his team had been bugged. When he was hired Vatican officials said he would be “completely independent” and would have the power to look through the books of every department in the tiny city state, reporting only to the pope. But he was accused of using the outside firm to spy on Vatican officials, Milone said. “They accused me of having improperly looked for information on Vatican members. I found out they had been investigating me for seven months,” he added. “I was only doing my job”. 

CAC Ends 27 Years Factional Crisis

The Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) worldwide, has ended the factional crisis rocking the church for the past 27 years.

The church,  in a  statement  praised the CAC President Worldwide, Pastor Abraham Akinosun and Prophet Gege Oju as well as another man of God, Pastor G.O. Lagunju for brokering peace between the factions.

“The church needs to give glory to God because we knew what we passed through when the factional crisis lasted. We need to pray for sustainable peace and unity not only in our church but Nigeria at large.

“The leaders thank God for allowing peace and unity to reign again in Church after 27 years of crisis

" We have to give glory to God that we are together again”, the church said.

Catholic Bishops Knock Buhari, others

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has knocked President Muhammadu Buhari over the deteriorating issues of security in especially the south eastern part of the country, saying Buhari’s position on being president for all Nigerians in his swearing-in speech has become doubtful.

 The bishops, in a Communiqué issued at the End of its Second Plenary Meeting at St. Charles Borromeo Pastoral Centre, Jalingo, Taraba State   said the need to urgently address grievances of agitations, general sense of hopelessness and dissatisfaction, cases of selective application of the rule of law and unfair distribution of resources and amenities is expedient. 

In  the Communiqué signed by both the CBCN’s President who is equally the Archbishop of Jos Diocese, Most Revd Ignatius Ayau KAIGAMA and the Secretary who is also the Bishop of Gboko Diocese, Most Revd William A. AVENYA, the bishops also said that it is “the inequitable situation in the country” that has provided breeding ground for violent reactions, protests and agitations, which exploit the grievances of different segments of the country.” The bishops thus advised the Federal Government “ at all levels to urgently address these anomalies, remove everything that smacks of injustice, and give everybody and every part of our country a sense of belonging.”

"I Am The Reason Peace Has Eluded Celestial Church"

As the Celestial Church of Christ marks its 70th birthday , a leading contender to the position of Supreme Head of the Church, Rt Rev. JKJ Owodunni, has sensationally revealed why the church has been battling to present an acceptable leader since its founder, Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa, died.

Oshoffa passed on in 1985.

Owodunni, now an Octogenarian, in a recent publication, said he was actually the man ordained by Oshoffa himself as a successor but that some forces within the church upturned the directive, blaming it as the major cause of disunity within the church.

Recalling events shortly after the passage of Oshoffa, Owodunni said, “We have already taken steps for unity many times, even right from inception when Papa Oshoffa passed away.

“I suggested to someone that we should not visit the issue of the selection of Pastor. Even though I knew I had been chosen as the successor, I was not in a hurry.
