A  former Vicar of All Saints  Anglican Church, Surulere, Lagos, Levi Opara, says  he had forgiven those who offended him in the church.

Opara, who made the statement at the reconciliation  service  presided over by   Archbishop  Adebayo  Akande, urged the church members to   forgive anybody who may have offended them in any form.

He said: “To err is  human and  divine to forgive; we should all forgive those who have offended us in  different forms. If we are able to do that, we would recover our lost glory from the Lord.

“There was crisis in the church before this service, but it has been resolved and I have let go of all that transpired while I  was presiding over the church.”

The service was attended by members and those who had left the church for one reason or the other. Sir Christopher Obadike, the People’s Warden of the church, said  the purpose of the  service was to reunite members.
