The Episcopal Vicar of Ozubulu region in Nnewi Catholic Diocese, who is also the parish priest of St Michaels parish Ozubulu, Very Rev Fr (Dr) Hygi Aghulor has thrown his weight behind Gov Soludo’s security and non noise pollution evangelism initiative.

Aghulor in his sermon during the special mass for Knights and Ladies of St Mulumba and St John in the region said that there is a dangerous mix up in the worship of God which Gov Soludo’s initiative would correct.

He said as a matter of fact that the church is house of prayers and not business house noting that any form of advertisment in the church falls short of the biblical standard.

Rev Fr Aghulor pointed out that noisy evangelism in the market place is simply not acceptable and that Gov Soludo’s insistence that whoever that wants to evangelize should organize crusade which would ordinarily not be in the market place.

He enjoined the people of God especially the Knights and Ladies of St Mulumba and St John who are known for their truth to remain truthful.

Rev Fr Aghulor who took a biblical reference from Romans Chapter 5Vrs 5 said that the knights should be a beacon of hope and direction to the confused and hopeless persons in the church.

He noted with relish that many youths who left their mother church are gradually retuning home after the expiration of the deciet that took them out of the church.

The Episcopal Vicar, Ozubulu region also enjoined the Knights and Ladies to aspire and work towards attaining the highest degree of knighthood with the responsibilities that goes with it.

The priest however charged all and sundry to endeavor to be close to God while alive because of what he called reality of death.

Sir and Lady Kingsley Emeka Egwuh and Sir Igwe Benjamin who were promoted to the second degree of knighthood were installed and decorated during the special mass which was attended by dignitaries from far and near.
