The Anglican Communion has again advised Nigerians to shun same sex marriage , saying lesbianism and gay practice should not be encouraged in the country.
Speaking in Port Harcourt, ahead of the third session, second synod of the Diocese of Evo , Province of Niger Delta, Bishop of the Diocese, Rt Reverend Innocent Ordu, said the church would continue to speak against such marriage , stressing that “it is unbiblical.”

According to him, “Church of Nigeria is part of the global Anglican Community. We are a biblically-based church. There are certain things even our culture abhors. Homosexuality is against the scriptures. We cannot be party to any doctrine that is against the scripture. We have looked at the Bible. Bible abhors it; we cannot be part of it.”
He enjoined the political class to provide the right leadership for Nigeria, noting that it was time the nation overcame challenges of insecurity, corruption and other related vices.
Bishop Ordu said the synod, slated for July 29 to August 2, had the theme “Recapturing the spirit of excellence and integrity in service: The Daniel example.”
He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to dump the report of the last National Conference.
