In a world where religious divisions often dominate the headlines, a beacon of hope has emerged. Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the revered General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been appointed as the patron of the Ecumenical Synod of Bishops, Archbishops, and Senior Clergy Inc. (ESBAASC).

This prestigious appointment is a testament to Pastor Adeboye’s tireless efforts to foster religious harmony and his unwavering commitment to ecumenism.

The ESBAASC conference, held from August 22-25 at the RCCG Redemption Camp, brought together a diverse group of Christian leaders, united in their quest for religious tolerance and unity.

With his characteristic wisdom and compassion, Pastor Adeboye emphasized that religious diversity should be celebrated as a strength, rather than a weakness.

Apostle A.B. Otaru, another prominent Christian leader, emphasized the need for understanding and love for the Creator to achieve religious tolerance.

Pastor Adeboye’s appointment as patron of ESBAASC is a significant milestone in the journey towards religious unity.

His leadership and commitment to ecumenism will undoubtedly inspire others to work towards a more harmonious and peaceful coexistence among people of different faiths.

As a respected voice in the Christian community, Pastor Adeboye’s influence extends far beyond the shores of Nigeria, making his appointment a beacon of hope for a more united and tolerant world.
