COVID 19: No Need To Ban Religious Activities Yet – CAN by sarrki(m): 3:48pm On Mar 18, 2020 |
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Lagos state chapter has stated the level of coronavirus infection in the nation does not yet warrant ban on religious gathering and activities. It however said religious organisation, especially churches and mosques, must take proactive measures to safeguard members from infection. It also urged governments to stop at nothing to secure the borders and contain the pandemic in the nation. Chairman Lagos CAN, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola, told reporters on Wednesday that Nigeria must do everything to win the war against the virus. He said: “The Federal Government must further secure our borders. Many nations are doing this very seriously now. We must also act now as a nation.

God forbid it in Jesus name. “ On suggestions that religious gatherings should be banned like in some European nations, Bamgbola said: “We have not got to that point and we believe we won’t get there. “We are watching the situation very closely to know what we must do. God has kept it away from us because we cannot contain the pandemic here. “We believe we will never get to the point of having to ban all services and churches will be grounded.” READ ALSO: COVID 19: We’ve no reason to stop national sports festival – FG He called on churches to observe precautions and safety measures so that worshippers are not exposed to the virus.

No contribution will be too small.

You can see these religious leaders only care for themselves. Churches and mosques are shutting down all over the world, but the only thing they are thinking of is tithes and offering. They should do well to remember they can only feed fat on the living and not the dead. |
