2023: Anglican Bishop bars congregants without PVC from receiving Holy Communion

Rt. Rev. Justus Mogekwu, Anglican Bishop of Asaba Diocese, has said that the acquisition of Permanent Voters Card, PVC will now be a precondition for members of his church to receive Holy Communion.

The Bishop spoke in sermon on Sunday on the occasion of the Christian Community Platform prayer conference, at the Great Anointing Favour Bible Church International Incorporated, Effurun.

Mogekwu appealed to indigenes of Delta state to ensure they register to vote at elections so as to enthrone good governance.

The clergy man further urged other preachers in Delta State to henceforth, make it mandatory for their members to have the PVC before they could participate in Holy Communion.

According to him, Christians must actively get involved in politics to enthrone good governance at all levels.

Bishop Mogekwu maintained that “if men who are righteous and fear God are in power, the people rejoice”.
