Bishop Timothy Yahaya of Anglican communion, Kaduna Diocese has warned Nigerian clerics against using the altar to preach partisan politics.
He gave the warning yesterday in Kaduna during the installation of venerable Joseph Dele Olorunfemi as the Provost of the Cathedral.
According to him, it was wrong for men who are called to serve in the vineyard of the Lord to use the altar to preach partisan politics, adding that they should maintain neutrality when it comes to partisan politics, but rather tell the politicians the truth as expected.
Bishop who fumes about the ways some clerical are careless through their actions and words said they should remember that there is certainly a day of Judgment.
He advised the new Provost to shun all forms of being spiritually ignorant, saying it It is worst for a him to be spiritually ignorant because it will not only affect him and his family but also the Church.
Admonishing him to diligently seek God’s face, discern the devices of the Devil and teach the wisdom of men.
Speaking after his installation, the New Provost Joseph Dele Olorufemi thanks the Bishop and entire members of the Diocese for the confidence implores in him.
Olorufemi promised not to let them down with the help of God, saying prayers and submission to those God has placed above him would be his cardinal point.
