CAMA: You can’t subject the church to carnality – World Bishops warn Buhari
The World Council of Bishops emphatically described CAMA laws on churches, religious bodies by Nigeria’s Federal Government as an illegality.
Bishop Sunday, in a statement to DAILY POST on Tuesday, pointed out unequivocally and unashamedly that “the Church as a Bride of Christ is first Spiritual in ALL and will never and must not be subjected to carnality, but God’s Holy Word, the Bible as her basic principle and constitution, thus, anything or policies, be it government, organizational or individual, that is inconsistent with God’s Holy Word is unconstitutional and illegal.
“To this effect, We as the Church of Jesus Christ Nationwide demand a repeal on the application of CAMA laws, and resist such laws against the Church and religious bodies in Nigeria in totality without fear or favour.”Recall that the CAMA was signed into law on August 7 by President Buhari. The founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, had earlier warned the President Muhammadu Buhari government against the application of CAMA in churches.Also the leader of INRI Evangelical spiritual church, Primate Ayodele had kicked against the inclusion of religious centres under CAMA law
Ayodele explained that the government is trying to meddle into spiritual affairs which, according to him, is totally unacceptable.
