The Bible Social of Nigeria (BSN), Rivers/Bayelsa Area, has called upon Christians in Orashi region to support the activities of the society.
Making the call on Monday, while presenting Special Member Certificate to the Bishop of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Diocese of Ahoada, the Right Reverend Clement Nathan Ekpeye, and his wife, Edna, Chairman of the society, during the first session of the Seventh Synod at the Holy Trinity Church, Abua Central in Abua/Odual Local Government Area, Elder Omoni Ayo-Tamuno, lamented that the region has less than four special members of the Society.
“It’s grossly unacceptable that a Christian dominated area made up of four Local Government Areas, namely Ahoada East, Ahoada West, Abua Odual, and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, has less than four Special Membership”.
He, therefore, appealed to delegates at the Synod to “be at the front seat of registering as Special Members of the Society”.
The Chairman, however, commended Bishop Ekpeye, who, he said, had always “supported the Society any time the Area had meetings at the Cathedral and other Anglican Churches in Ahoada and Omoku”.
Also speaking, the Bishop of the Diocese of Northern Izon, the Right Reverend Funkoro G. V. Amgbara, who presented the Special Member Certificate to Bishop Ekpeye and his wife, stressed the need for Christians to embrace the Society to make the Bible available to the Christian Community.
Receiving the Certificate, Bishop Ekpeye thanked the Society for the honour accorded him and his wife and promised to support the Society at all times.
