Dear Brothers & Sisters,
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
First, I’m pleased to inform you that yesterday, September 23, 2021 the House of Bishops of the Church of Nigeria(Anglican Communion) elected Suffragan Bishop Olukayode Adebogun the Diocesan Bishop of ADOTT. Effective as of today he is your Diocesan Bishop(ADOTT).
Please join me in congratulating him and give him your support. May the Lord grant Bishop Adebogun all he needs to serve the diocese well to the glory of God. I am committed to working with him and I encourage you to join me in doing so.
Second, I’m pleased to announce that both the House of Bishops and the Standing Committee of the Church of Nigeria have canonically approved the geographical areas for ADOTT and ADOTW. Parishes in either diocese that find themselves in the geographical section of another diocese are free to transition immediately to their new diocese without recrimination from any Bishop. Those who are uncomfortable transitioning have a period of up to three years to complete that transition. This is a needed pastoral provision.
Finally, it has been a pleasure serving you all as the Supervisory Bishop of ADOTT which ends herewith. We will continue to work together as members of the Church of Nigeria North American Mission(CONNAM).
I wish you all the Lord’s blessing and joy.
Peace be with you.
Warm regards,
The Rt Rev’d Dr Felix Orji, OSB.
Supervisory Bishop of ADOTT
Coordinating Bishop of CONNAM.
