- Pastor Kumuyi has thrown down the gauntlet, calling on Christians to shatter their prejudices and embrace people from other religions as their true neighbors.
- In a bold and controversial move, he delved into why he invited Muslim clerics, proudly donning their caps, to take the stage at his recent conference—a decision that ignited a wildfire of chatter and set tongues wagging across the nation
Pastor William Kumuyi, the visionary General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has boldly unveiled his rationale for inviting Muslim clerics to speak at his revolutionary Change Makers International (CMI) conference.
This audacious initiative, launched to tackle Nigeria’s most pressing social and spiritual crises, has made waves with its daring approach to uniting diverse faiths and addressing the nation’s deepest issues.
The non-denominational, non-tribal, and non-religious initiative is currently making waves with its inaugural event at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Elekahia, Port Harcourt, where an eclectic mix of pastors and Muslim clerics have gathered for a series of transformative conferences.
In a riveting sermon during this unprecedented conference, Pastor Kumuyi passionately expounded on his groundbreaking decision to invite Muslim clerics to address his congregation—a move that has sparked intense debate and fascination.
Pastor Kumuyi, in the new video, emphasized the critical need for Christians to view adherents of other faiths as genuine neighbors, extending beyond mere tolerance to deep, meaningful connection.
To drive his point home, Pastor Kumuyi recounted the profound symbolism behind his choice to allow Muslim clerics to speak from his pulpit. This act, which defied traditional church doctrines, was a bold testament to his commitment to inclusivity.
He elaborated on his decision to permit the clerics to wear their caps on the pulpit—a decision he made because the conference was held in a stadium, not within the church’s hallowed walls.
Pastor Kumuyi went even further, declaring that if the Muslim clerics had challenged him to don their traditional caps, he would have embraced the dare with enthusiasm, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he truly sees them as his neighbors.
