Pastor Fireman Replies Critics Of His Hot Girls Church Poster, Says He Is Following The Example Of J



Pastor Fireman has replied critics on his use of hot girls as poster for advertising his church. Last year, We saw the above poster of Pastor Fireman advertising his church. So this came as a shock to many who didn’t think it was normal for a pastor to use this approach.  It has been almost a year now but a lady, Whitney Chad, supposedly Pastor Fireman’s rep has now addressed this issue in a message to Myne Whiteman’s blog.
The “Hot Girls” flyer of Sign Fireman caused quite a stir recently. Different people had different things to say about it. According to the pastor: “The point is that God sent me to bring Twenty-First Century innovations that will change Christianity and make it have more results. Let me give you an example.

Catholic Church of Nigeria withdraws from the Christian Association of Nigeria




Left: official Catholic church letter withdrawing from CAN


The Catholic Church of Nigeria yesterday temporarily withdrew its membership from the Christian  Association of Nigeria (CAN). Their reason? That CAN under Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has been compromised. Also because of some uncouth statements by some Christian leaders, and the use of money in CAN elections and several court cases involving state chapters of CAN.

Spokesperson of the Church, Rev. Fr. Dr. Cornelius Omonokhua, said:
"You just can't save people who are drowning, if you are drowning with them. CAN is being dragged into partisan politics thereby compromising the ability to play its true role as conscience of the nation and the voice of the voiceless. We will be happy if CAN leadership can show moderation. Common sense dictates that they do that.”
The Catholic church said they would review their withdrawal from CAN after the annual meeting of the Conference of Bishops in February.

Nigeria’s Onaiyekan Now A Prince Of Catholic Church




Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday officially named Nigeria’s Archbishop John Onaiyekan and five other non-European cardinals to the body that will elect his successor, saying the move underlined the Church’s diversity.  The 85-year-old pontiff presided over the ceremony in St Peter’s Basilica that elevated the six prelates to the Catholic Church’s College of Cardinals.
The body “presents a variety of faces, because it expresses the face of the universal Church,” he said in a development that has been welcomed by critics concerned that the college has become increasingly Euro-centric under Benedict.

Nine-year-old boy killed, three others injured as terrorists attack church in Kenya



A nine-year-old boy was killed and three other children wounded when a hand grenade was thrown into a Sunday school session in a church in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, police and medical staff said.

Kenya has suffered a series of grenade attacks since it sent troops across the border into Somalia last October in pursuit of Islamist al Shabaab militants who it blamed for kidnapping its security personnel and Western tourists.

The attack on the church came days after Kenyan troops launched a surprise offensive on the southern Somali port of Kismayu, the last stronghold of the al Shabaab, forcing the rebels to flee, Reuters reports.

Police said attackers threw the grenade into the Sunday school service in St. Polycarp’s church on Nairobi’s Juja Road.

The grenade exploded, spraying the children with shrapnel and fatally injuring the boy.

“We suspect this blast might have been carried out by sympathisers of al Shabaab,” said deputy police spokesman Charles Owino.

“These are the kicks of a dying horse since, of late, Kenyan police have arrested several suspects in connection with grenades,” he added.

Masked assailants launched simultaneous gun and grenade raids on two churches in the northern town of Garissa in July, killing at least 17 people.
