Also, speaking the chairman of MCA/CWE of all Presbyterian delegates, Elder. Awa Osonwa said that the purpose of the delegates meeting was to receive reports from the 10 synods of the Presbyterian Church across the country with a view to carrying out a reform.
Elder Osonwa explained that the church has been localised in one region of Nigeria, hence the need to expand the church through evangelism and winning of souls.
“The Presbyterian Church Nigeria has been more regionalized for several years. Localizing or planting Presbyterian Church Nigeria to other section of the country is our top priority. We also want other ethnic group in Nigeria to be part of the ownership of this church. Expanding the church is part of our evangelism. In fact, we want the locals or residents of our operational based to be involved,” Elder. Osonwa added.
“We are more democratic than some orthodox or new churches. Our practice gives room for members of the church to aspire for positions or seat,” Osonwa said of the Presbyterian Church.
Elder Osonwa stressed on the need for delegates to remaining good ambassador of their respective synod. “Let the delegates know that they owe responsibility to those that sent them to the CWC all delegates meeting. Let the delegates go back to their respective synod and communicate or tell their members some of the decision reached at 2022 CWC All Delegates Meeting,” Elder Engr. Osonwa urged.
