Pastor Adeboye Appointed Patron Of Ecumenical Christian Council

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Adeboye, has been appointed patron of the Ecumenical Synod of Bishops, Archbishops, and Senior Clergy Inc. (ESBAASC).

The announcement was made during the group’s international conference, which was held recently at the Redemption Camp in Lagos, Nigeria. The conference, themed “Religious Tolerance in Nigeria and Across the Nations of the World,” aimed to discuss the concept of religious tolerance, its challenges, and how to achieve it.

During the event, Archbishop Prof. Kehinde Olubunmi, the International Prelate and Chief Host, nominated Pastor Adeboye as the Patron and Archbishop Prof. Mary Ajisafe as the Matron of ESBAASC.

Pastor Adeboye, represented by RCCG National Overseer Emeritus, Pastor Joseph Obayemi, lamented the current state of religious intolerance in Nigeria, reflecting on his youth when he fasted during Ramadan, shared meals with Muslims, and lived harmoniously among Christians, Muslims, and followers of traditional religions. He emphasized that true believers in the Creator God should choose to love and preserve life rather than react with violence.
