He blamed societal problems on ungodliness, calling on married couples to resist any attempt to destroy the marriages.
Describing the family as the smallest unit of both the Church and larger society, the Prelate regretted that devil’s attack on marriages has remained the easiest way of bringing down the society.
He charged delegates to internalize the conference theme, “God’s Great task for the Church, The Great commitment Raising a Godly Generation” and amplify same in their various families, churches and communities towards raising godly generation for improved societal livelihoods.
According to the Bishop, God is still in search of godly generation.
The Bishop who doubles as National Chairman, Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion (EFAC) Nigeria regretted that most people baptized and confirmed in the church currently engage in masquerading and act of idolatry, calling for godly mothers and fathers that would salvage the situation.
President of the conference, Mrs Chinyere Ezeofor called for attitudinal change over youths going back to idolatry and patronizing various shrines and deity instead of serving the living God for their salvation.
