The Bishop of the Lagos West Anglican Diocese, the Rt Revd James Odedeji, has said abortion was not a solution to ameliorating the plight of expectant women rescued from the Sambisa Forest.
He spoke at a briefing ahead of the Synod of the Lagos West Diocese, scheduled to begin tomorrow at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Church, Ikeja GRA, Lagos with the theme, ‘Looking unto Jesus.’
The bishop said while the church will continue praying for them, it would not encourage abortion.
“The Church of God does not support abortion of any kind. It is unfortunate that we are in this mess,” Bishop Odedeji said.
He called for prayers for the rescue of the Chibok girls kidnapped over a year ago by Boko Haram.
Bishop Odedeji also called for prayers for incoming leaders, specifically for the Lagos State governor-elect, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode.
“On the incoming governor, we need to pray for him because the Bible encourages us to pray for our leaders.”
