Just the other day, we were telling you about the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG's plans of building the world's biggest auditorium in Ogun state and yesterday, the church confirmed that its new three kilometre square auditorium expected to host 12 million persons will be one of the venues for its 63rd annual convention slated to begin August 9.
The church also condemned same sex marriage, which was recently endorsed by the American Supreme Court, saying “We don’t support it. There is no where in the Bible where God said people of the same sex can get married. The stand of the church is very clear and it states; one man, one wife.”
In the same vein, the church also clarified its position about Christians in politics, noting that it does not bar individual members of the church from participating in politics but "we are not accountable for their performance. We pray for those in power as the Bible has enjoined us to do. That is our stand but we believe that by the end of this year, Nigerians will have cause to say that all is well.”
Addressing newsmen at the church’s Redemption Camp, Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji with support from several ministers of the church, said the new arena will host "plenary sessions of a few evenings of the week long programme on an experimental basis."
According to Pastor Adegbiji adequate arrangements have been put in place to host participants from the 24 regions of the church spread across 188 countries of the world. Adegbiji quoted the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye as warning unserious persons to stay away from this year’s convention, which has a theme "The All Sufficient God."
