Support from Bishop A.B. Lamido of Nigeria

-snip-

I visited Pittsburgh in April, 2008 at the peak of the deposition and the re-alignment discussion. I remember vividly telling Bishop Duncan that the Church of Nigeria is standing by him. This is a man whose perspicacity and perpendicularity are unimpeachable. This is a man whose commitment to evangelism and stand on biblical truths are unquestioning and unswerving. He refused to be waltzed into an elf-like way of interpreting scripture. With this deposition I think God is telling Bishop Duncan in the words of John Wesley that ‘the world is my parish’.

I noted with joy, that the Southern Cone received Bishop Duncan into their fold immediately after he was deposed. We thank all those who stand on the Catholic faith as handed to us by the apostles. We call on all Christians to continue to pray against all the enemies of the catholic faith. The Church is marching on and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
