500th commemoration of Luther: Don votes in favor of rebuilding

TO stamp the 500th commemoration of the Protestant Reformation when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on a congregation entryway in Wittenberg, Germany testing the congregation chain of importance, The Redeemed Christian Bible College as of late composed a one-day national meeting to analyze the significance of the Lutherian revolt to both the Church and the country on the loose.


rebuilding In his keynote address labeled: 'The Reformation of the Church and Its Lessons for the Ongoing call and Clamor for the Restructuring of Nigeria, Professor of Church History and Dean of Student Affairs, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Prof. Wear Akhilomen said there are imperative lessons for Nigeria and Nigerians to gain from the encounters of the Church following the sixteenth Century Protestant Church Reformation.

 Utilizing his contention on the uproar for rebuilding of Nigeria, Prof. Akhilomen asked the present APC Administration to be more tolerant and grasp discourse particularly on the tumults for rebuilding.

 As per him, over centralisation of energy just brings manhandle of energy which has caused outrage among constituent states, focusing on that in a multi-ethnic and socially differing nation like Nigeria, a constrained union, in a unitary way has turned out to be undesirable as well as for all intents and purposes unsustainable.

In his words: "As per President Muhammadu Buhari's specch on October 1 that Nigeria's solidarity isn't debatable, do you drive a marriage? On the off chance that you compel a marriage, the lady will either harm the man or the man executes the lady.

 In Nigeria have they inquired as to whether we consent to meet up; on what bases do we stay together; simply like the solidarity of the Church is attractive, the solidarity of Nigeria is alluring yet at that point, there must be open discourse, the terms of our union must be arranged.

It is safe to say that you are stating the American state was not arranged? It was arranged and till today there are a few revisions." Akhilomen, however advised those upsetting for rebuilding and withdrawal that genuine advance and change must be accomplished in peace, solidarity and confidence, clarifying that the congregation's authentic experience unmistakably demonstrates that protestation don't really ensure honest to goodness reorganization.

 He stated: "It isn't each change that means advance. In the Nigerian circumstance, those calmouring for restructur-ing and, in the outrageous case, those craving for withdrawal ought to understand that the scan for Eldorado may well be a perfect world as the Church's history and the experience of South Sudan adequately show.

 Likewise talking, the co-convener of the occasion, a meeting Senior instructor in Lagos State University, LASU, Dr. Benson Igboin said Luther's decade calls for reflection for the cutting edge holy places mourning that the majority of the issues that Luther composed against then are as yet display in most present day holy places.

Clarifying why the Bible College composed the occasion, Dr. Igboin stated: "There is requirement for us to re-survey ourselves simply like Luther did 500 years back, to check whether there was no compelling reason to change ourselves.
