The Anglican Bishop of Aguata Diocese, Right Reverend Samuel Ezeofor, has called on fathers to rise up to their divine tasks and be the light of their various homes.

Bishop Ezeofor made the call in his presidential address at the just concluded fifteenth Aguata Diocesan Men’s Christian Fellowship Conference, held at Saint Augustine’s Anglican Church, Umunze in Orumba South Local Government Area.

Correspondent Blessing Uchendu reports that the Bishop, whose address centered on the theme of the conference; “Divine Principles of Transformation One-Discipleship”, admonished fathers to embrace their responsibilities in their families, church and larger society.

The Anglican Bishop also decried the increasing national challenges facing Nigeria, urging men to always lead their families right through prayers.

Bishop Ezeofor who is also the National Chairman of the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion EFAC Nigeria, further called for equity and justice in the power sharing structure in Anambra State, adding that only those who promoted equity, love and fair play should be voted for in the November sixth Governorship election in the State.

On his part, the Archdeacon of Ezinifite Archdeaconry, Venerable David Obiagboso, who moved a motion for the acceptance of the presidential address as a working document for the Men’s Ministry in Aguata Diocese, which was seconded by Mr Samuel Okonkwo, commended Bishop Ezeofor and wife for their strong support to both the men and women’s ministry in Aguata Diocese and beyond.

Also speaking, the chaplain of Aguata Christian Men’s Fellowship, Reverend Davidson Okoye, lauded fathers for their roles in family and the church, urging them to remain steadfast and courageous, and also asked that government should create better environment for all genders.

 

Others who spoke to the ABS including, a former Majority Leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Chief Humphrey Nsofor, a former chairman of Idemili North Local Government Area, Sir Edwin Ekwuno and a delegate to the conference, Dr Christian Chukwuma, described the theme of the conference as insightful, nothing that it would rekindle their mindset to becoming better and helping to mould a better family.

Wife of the bishop and President of Aguata Diocesan Women’s Ministry, Mrs Chinyere Ezeofor, among others, attended the conference.

There were also prayers, songs and worships.
