Cleric Unveils Archdeaconry, Tasks Leaders On Church Growth

The Bishop, Diocese of Evo Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Rt Rev Innocent Ordu, creation of a new archdeaconry is an empowerment to disciple the immediate community and environment of the church.
To do this, he said, every archdeaconry requires sacrificial men and women who are ready to give to the growth of the Diocese.
Ordu, who said this at the inauguration of Okporo-Rumuogba Archdeaconry stated that “Church leaders must therefore be serious with their assignment because the Holy Spirit had made them overseers and a time of reward is coming.”
The Bishop, who had earlier in the day, laid a foundation stone for a church building of Calvary Anglican Church, Mgbuesilaru, a church in the new Archdeaconry, noted that if the church must grow, all pastors and church leaders must cheerfully carry the burdens the church would place on them, without complaints, as Apostle Paul did, and the pastoral team must work together to avoid having a sickly Archdeaconry.
Speaking while drawing from 2 Cor. 11:28, Acts 20:28, Gal 6:9,10; Heb. 13:7 & 1 Peter 3:8, Ordu argued that since Jesus died for the church, church leaders and pastors must be careful how they took care of the flock, noting that if anything happens to the church, in this case, the Archdeaconry, God would hold all strata of church leadership responsible.
While urging the ministers to set good examples for members to follow by eschewing rancour and parochialism, he enjoined the new Archdeaconry faithful not to frustrate or grieve the ministers because if they were happy at their duty posts, the church would grow.
The joyful occasion which witnessed the formal induction of Ven. Chidi S. Worgu as the pioneer Archdeacon of the new Archdeaconry, had in attendance, members of the Diocesan Board as well as those of the new Archdeaconry.
