Pastor Judith Daniel-Imagoro has commended the leadership of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and well-meaning Nigerians for their courage, saying the return of Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) as an independent subject in secondary schools would not have been possible if Christians had remained silent.

Christian Religious Knowledge

Speaking at the Dynamic Life Conference held in Gombi, Adamawa State, the founder of Glorious Living Singles and Married Ministry urged Christians to speak with one voice and resist  attempts to foist any religion on them. She said: “I normally don’t comment on politics, because I am busy with my Father’s business. But defending my Father’s business is equal to doing the business.”

“Nobody have the right to impose anything on anyone. If God our creator, could leave us with the power of choice; no government, agents or group of people should force us to embrace a particular religion, which is what the present government wants to do.”

She continued: ‘’We (Christians) should speak with one voice because we are one body in Christ and not try to be diplomatic with our faith.”

‘’For the government to have left all the educational needs and try to subsume Christian religious knowledge (CRK) in civil education, it’s clear the government of the day is up to something. Their aims is to deprive Christians students the knowledge of their religion.”

Stressing further, “there are some government secondary schools where students still sit on class rooms’ floor to write exams, so many of them are without useable toilets and qualified teachers, and  for government to ignore providing all the basic infrastructure in schools, instead they are involved in something that isn’t worth the time and energy, that should tell you what their motives are.”

‘’We as Christians should not keep silent because many more of this moves are coming. If we keep silent over things and let them have their way, time will come when they will tell us to reduce the number of churches and later, you will not be allowed to freely worship,” she concluded.
