Well,

For what it's worth, I remember back in the day

In 2003 or there about When all adult Nigerian was mandated to pay 5000 naira as endowment fund.

Because the church of England had assumed a stance unknown to nature on the same sex issue

So I am perplexed that this would be an issue to Nigerian communion of the Anglican church if they have dissociated themselves from the English mother church as far back as the early 2000s
You are very correct.
There was a reason for that at the time. I think that was under Jasper as Metropol.

Some Anglican Churches especially in Eastern & Southern regions were not financially buoyant so some of the pro-gay provinces will woo them with incentives to bend. Church of Nigeria is one of the biggest and richest worldwide so we had to be our brother's keeper.

Do you know "Anglican" means "English"?
You just said "bless the English church" or "Church of a Country called ENGLAND" (NOT Nigeria!)
I just learnt this today. I researched further.
The word "Anglican" comes from ecclesia anglicana, a medieval Latin phrase meaning "the English Church."
thanks for the enlightenment.

This nonsense started with Rowan Williams. His predecessor, Carey was openly against it even when he came to Nigeria in 2001, he was very livid with any suggestion towards that.

God will help his church, Amen.
God Bless the Anglican Church!
Anglican is the church of the king of England who left the Catholic church because the Catholic church oppossed his propsed divorce

There are influential members of the laity involved in one thing or the order. People only find out at their deaths. The Church of Nigeria should face it's own homegrown issues and leave others alone.
When they find out, they extricate themselves.
I was opportune to witness one personally at Labori Oloja in Remo (name withheld), we simply entered our bus everyone and zoomed off.

The Church of Nigeria concentrates on its own but all Bishops meet decennially, so assume this Bishop tomorrow becomes Canterbury, what does it make of the Church?

Lol... Everybody na Just "Selective Sinner"...
The bible is small but big enough to support what we like, and also condem which we hate...
Watch how thieves (Do not steal, Ex 20:15),
Watch how fornicators lol( Ex 20:14)
Watch how people wey no respect their parents (Ex 20:12)
Watch how all of dem go come this post and condem these ones lol...

Hell is one, heaven is one...
Who tiff spoon, and who tiff 20billion, go still enter there...

In as much as I hate gay
Evolution will always happen there is nothing we can do about it.

Back in 2000
If a lady wear trouser it was looked at as OS. I remember vividly how a woman wearing trouser was seen as OS
Now girls wear trouser to work to church it is now normal.
They even wear far worse revealing clothes now.

It's called Cultural evolution
With time gays will be openly accepted.
There is nothing you can do about it

If you don't accept it the next next generation will accept it. There is nothing that you can do
Wearing trousers and homosexuality are two different things.

The Bible is very very very clear on its stance as regards homosexuality.

Can a Pastor in Anglican preaches to me for a example to fellowship in his church? God forbid!!! If u join the church gradually one may find himself in the Anglican of homosexuality. God forbid. People that are waiting for the second coming of Christ should leave the church immediately. Let it be ANGLICAN OF HOMOSEXUALITY. I rest my case

Stop complaining!

You accepted the religion from them including any evil in it, so what are you complaining about?

It's not your religion, it's their religion which you're merely participating in. They have every right to introduce gay or anything whatsoever in their religion

In as much as I hate it. I have come to realize that just like skull miners will always exist kidnappers will always exist homosexuals will always exist. Killers will always exist. Psychotahs will always exist

No amount of preaching will change these people from this world. We have to find a way and live with it

The Anglican church is literally a church that left the Catholic church coz their leader wanted to marry a second wife that is forbidden by the church.
The entire church is built on immortality and falsehood. Why do you suddenly expect the church to survive in righteousness? It'll only grow in the immorality it was built on

If this generation don't accept gays
The next generation will accept them

Then you will be old complaining about how youths lack morals.

The same way old people today talk about how they dressed cooperate and neat but guys of today piercing ears, braiding hairs, tattoos , rocking dada.

It's a cultural evolution.
Things that were seen as abomination in the past will be the in thing of the future.

Give Nigeria the next 2 generations
Gays will be openly accepted.
There is nothing you can do about it

As sad as it is,it is the date that awaits all civilization in this world. You can't stop it
Please forget it !
Nigeria will not openly support Gay in million years.

Nigerians despite our issues, but the common unity amongst us is that "We Detest Homosexuality with all passion" !!

Do you want to see your Son bring another boy as his wife❓
Or host your daughter bringing a shaved head girl as her husband ⁉️

No one wants to see a Bishop sleeping with a fellow man through the anus in your church house.

Even in abroad, they are still the minority and only the laws protect them.

Homosexuality is a Curse and we should NOT FALL FOR IT !!

Gradually when they take over all the church in the west they will be proposing to their political leaders impose stiff penalties on countries that that are critical on their ideology.
If care is not taken a gay pope will be unveiled at the Vatican
Catholics are really lucky their priests and popes are not allowed to marry if not the devil would have also sold this demonic homosexual lifestyle to them and they would have probably bought it like the anglican church.

Let God arise and let enemies of the church be scattered. Satan has alwayed used subtilitiy to creep into the leadership of the church. The goal is to weaken the conscience of the believers and propagate the agenda of darkness which is idolatery. We believers are the only restraining force of darkness in this world. Our weapon of persistent prayer for the church is mighty through God to the pulling down of false doctrine, fables, genealogies, stronghold, principalities etc...
