However it is simply expedient and necessary that there must be an effective central body representing Christians in a country and circumstances such as ours!<br /><br />Part of what the CAN has to do to make her membership attractive as I mentioned in passing, is define BASIC doctrinal benchmarks that members must affirm. Close to that, there must be an agreed framework for disciplining members who flout expected basic character and practice codes. This would include mechanisms for redress and compensation for members of the public who might fall victim to unscrupulous members of CAN.<br /><br />Most important of all, continuous education, training, peer review and support within the Organization. All these are possible, and we must take steps in this direction. Needless to say the enemies of the Church are very happy we maintain the present unheloful status quo.<br /><br />Thanks for your insightful comment.Joshuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439308861922854494.post-40816348755752898872019-12-13T20:38:32.683+01:002019-12-13T20:38:32.683+01:00This is a thorough expression of concern about the...This is a thorough expression of concern about the End Time Church. As it concludes with suggestion for CAN to re-engineer to incorporate some other Christian organizations that are not churches, I want to observe that the present composition of CAN cannot be said to be Christian by the definition of some Christians. For example people who equate angels with God in their doctrine and practice cannot be accepted as Christians by people who are jealous for God and Jesus Christ. In essence unification of the Church in Nigeria is beyond organisational structure. John 10:14-16 NKJV<br />I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. [15] As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. [16] And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.<br />The Church as dispersed, needs to be faithful to God and Jesus Christ and as we lift up holy hands, we are unified by the Shepherd Himself.Isaac Abayomi Oshinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695336339911452773noreply@blogger.com
