Kaduna Meeting: Pastoral letter to the Church
CONN/160305
The Church of Nigeria says it will not commence the ordination of women but the issue may be revisited in the future.
This is contained in a Pastoral letter issued by the Primate of the Church Archbishop Peter Akinola on behalf of the Standing Committee of the Church which ended its meeting in Kaduna last Saturday.
The Primate called on members of his church to approach the mission agenda of the church Vision 1-1-3 with the spirit of obedience for fruitful results.
