The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has implemented new regulations regarding the involvement of politicians and government officials during church services, explicitly prohibiting them from speaking from the pulpit.

This directive, signed by Primate Henry Ndukuba, was established following an episcopal consultation in the Diocese of Nike, Enugu State. The aim of these guidelines is to address the growing trend of utilising religious platforms for political discourse, thereby safeguarding the sanctity of Christian worship.

The regulations ensure that the church remains a space for worship, unity, and spiritual guidance, free from the disruptions and divisions brought about by partisan politics. A significant aspect of the new protocol is the restriction on using the church’s lectern for political speeches by visiting dignitaries, thereby reinforcing the holiness of church environments.

In the memo distributed to all parishes, it is acknowledged that there are rising concerns regarding the use of church gatherings for political messaging, which the Primate believes jeopardises the church’s neutrality and foundational values.

The guidelines stipulate that any guest intending to address the congregation must first confer with church leadership to guarantee appropriate behaviour. Politicians and officials will be explicitly informed that church platforms are not to be exploited for partisan rhetoric or political propaganda.

Church leaders are also advised to refrain from any statements or actions that might be perceived as politically biased. Moreover, officials are cautioned against praising guests in a manner that could undermine the church’s reputation or integrity.

Mr Ndukuba reiterated the church’s commitment to inclusivity, welcoming all individuals to services and events, while firmly drawing a line against any partisanship or actions that could cause division among congregants.

He affirmed the church’s role as a moral guide in society, stating its responsibility to engage with governmental authorities on matters affecting the faithful, while maintaining that its primary focus remains spiritual. Mr Ndukuba emphasised the mission of the church to be “the light of the world and the salt of the earth,” offering guidance and prayer for those in positions of authority.
