A large number of Anglican faithful from Nigeria and the Diaspora are coming for the 7th Divine Commonwealth Conference (DIVCCON) holding at the Ecumenical Centre, Abuja from November 13 to 17, 2017.

In an interview with newsmen in Abuja, the Primate of Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, said the theme for this year conference: “I Have The Man Jesus” is to provide opportunity for people of God to gather for fellowship, invest in Jesus, as well as seek the Lord’s Face.

He explained that the conference would concentrate on strengthening people’s faith, and “even though the economy may be biting hard, you may not have anyone to help you, but you have someone and that someone is God.”

Primate Okoh said the inspiration for DIVCCON came as a result of meditation. “We discovered that most of our meetings, though avenues for prayers, worship and all sorts of things, they are essentially administrative in nature.
“So, I felt under God’s guidance, we should just gather for purpose of spirituality and do nothing else; speak to edify people, ministrations, prayers, fellowship and let people who are not necessary Anglicans come to join in worshipping and praising the Almighty God.”
