By Olamiti Lawrence  Nearly two decades after a theological tremor in Nigeria reshaped global Anglicanism, history appeared to circle back on itself in the nation’s capital. In 2007, under the leadership of Peter Jasper Akinola, the third Primate of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion , a decisive rupture gave birth to the Global Anglican Future Conference. The movement - known widely as GAFCON - emerged as a  counterweight to doctrinal shifts within the Church of England, particularly over questions of sexual ethics and biblical authority. On Tuesday, 3 March 2026, at the Cathedral of the Advent Life Camp in Gwarinpa, Abuja, that earlier declaration found a modern echo. Before more than 1,000 archbishops, bishops and clergy drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, the fifth Primate of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Henry Ndukuba, delivered a sermon that signalled a further consolidation of GAFCON’s identity. His address did not merely reca...

The Apostle Paul opens his letter to Titus with a profound self-description: “_Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgement of the truth which accords with godliness_” (Titus 1:1). Paul, once Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee by strictest sect, trained under Gamaliel, and a man of strong religious pedigree, could easily have boasted in his background and accomplishments (Acts 22:3; Philippians 3:5–6). Yet, having become a new man in Christ, he chose to identify himself not by pedigree, nor merely by office, but as a bond-servant of his Lord, wholly surrendered under the authority of Jesus Christ for the sake of the faith of the elect. In the New Testament, there are different Greek words translated as “servant”, but they do not all mean the same thing. Diakonos means a helper or minister,  someone who serves by rendering service. Hupēretēs means an attendant or assistant,  one who serves under dir...

Ndukuba, accompanied by his wife, Mrs Angela Ndukuba, has arrived in Lagos for the commencement of the 2026 Church of Nigeria Bishops and Wives Retreat. The Bishops and Wives Retreat is an annual gathering designed for spiritual renewal and re-invigoration.

He prayed for God’s glory to cover the nation, declaring peace and security over Nigeria in this New Year. Speaking on the focus of the retreat, Primate Ndukuba emphasized that the gathering is strictly a spiritual exercise, distinct from administrative duties or ecclesiastical politics. “This period is not about ...
