CAC ends 20-year leadership crisis

THE leadership crisis, which began over 20 years ago and had continued to tear the fabric of love and peace of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) apart, appears to be finally fizzling out.

The indication emerged when members of all factions expressed their readiness to come together, as demonstrated at a joint unification and prayer session held at the general headquarters of the CAC Worldwide, Ebute Elefun in Lagos.

The joint unification and prayer session was, not only a milestone success, but has been adjudged a remarkable and positive step toward total and genuine unification of all factions of the CAC.

The convener of the revival, the Movement for Divine Restoration of CAC Worldwide, under the leadership of Pastor Moses Adedoyin, could not contain its joy of having all factions— the General Executive Council, Supreme Council, including the WOSEM, representatives of past leaders of all factions, ministers of God, elders, representatives of good women society and youth leaders, gathered under one roof at the headquarters in true testimony to the CAC doctrine of “one fold, one shepherd.”

Members under the unification assembly expressed total commitment and optimism to put an end to the lingering crisis, pointing out that any true CAC member should not be left out of the crusade for peace being campaigned for by the Divine Restoration Group.

According to an elder at the unification revival service, “it is, indeed, a commendable effort, for well-meaning members of CAC to be seeking peaceful resolution of the crisis in the church of God, which can only come through the members themselves and not through imposed and selective means by the church leaders.”

Also, a representative of youth member at the service expressed his delight to have made it to the service despite being discouraged by a member of one of the factions of the church leadership.
