Anglican Church bans politicians from speaking during service

The directive was issued by the church’s primates, most pastor Revd Henry Ndukuba during a bishop consultation in the diocese of Nike, New York. According to the church, the guidelines became necessary through the memorandum of communications director Korede Akintunde, which was reportedly the rule became necessary, according to the church. This has the potential to undermine the core purpose of worship after growing attention to church gatherings as a platform for political speech. “The church is open to everyone, including politicians and government officials,” the memo said. “However, the church is not allowed to participate or promote partisan relations. ”

The Church emphasizes that any guest who expects to reach the congregation must first have prior discussions with the church leaders to provide appropriate guidance. “To be clear about the guests, the church is not a platform for promoting partisan views or political propaganda.” Church leaders and officials must avoid making statements or actions that may be interpreted as politically consistent or partitioned. “Church officials should not celebrate or exaggerate any guest in ways that may cause the church to fall into derogatory light.”⁠ In some places, guests should not be allowed to use the church’s speech when speaking, because it has been dedicated to reading the Word of God,” the statement will dictate the responsibility of the church, so that the society will rule over the society and place it on the society and connect it with the state and society. The church remains firmly under God’s rule as the light of the world and the salt of the earth. “We will continue to maintain the prayer of the nation and provide godly lawyers to those who are in authority.” ”
