Benue CAN urges Christians to stop disparaging themselves

 

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Benue state chapter, has advised its members against disparaging themselves on account of denomination.

Chairman of CAN, Reverend Akpen Leva, gave the advice at a fund raising dinner for construction of Parish House and patron’s day celebration of St. Paul’s Catholic Mission, Kertyo in Makurdi.

He said all Christians, irrespective of their denominations, belong to the body of Christ and the scriptures remain a binding force for the faithful to continually seek spiritual nourishment.

The CAN chairman said he attended the celebration of the Patron, Saint Paul to identify with the mission named after the apostle and to encourage the priest in charge, Reverend Father Paul Nyinya who he said was representing the Catholic Church effectively in the association.

Also speaking, the Director General of Radio Benue Corporation, Mrs. Espei Ushe-Uba said it was a thing of joy for St. Paul Catholic Mission Kertyo to honour the Patron, St. Paul who was noted for serving Christ diligently and doing other noble things with pride and the fear of God.

The director general whose message was delivered by Dr. Charles Iornumbe, said she was familiar with steps St. Paul Catholic Mission was taking towards progress and pledged her continuous support.  
Chaplain, Pope John Paul the Second Chaplaincy, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Reverend Father Oliver Agbile had in a Bible reflection centred on “love” told Christians that the success of every genuine love which is often painful comes with enormous sacrifices that they ought to make to achieve the goal.
