December 22, (THEWILL) – A spiritual organisation, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, BCS, has announced plans to stage its Leader, Olumba Olumba Obu’s fourth annual public lecture series in Calabar, Cross River State.
This year’s annual public lecture will have as theme: ‘Unification of the Human Race: Leader OOOBU, the Uncharted Path To Lasting Peace.’
The spokesman of the organisation, Patriarch Christ Shepherd Amah Williams, disclosed this in a release in Calabar.
He disclosed that the Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Lokoja, Prof Alayemi Akinwumi and Dr Francis Falako of the Department of Religious Studies, University of Lagos, will participate in the lecture series.
In addition to this, mouthwatering prizes will be given to deserving gospel artistes at its International headquarters in Calabar, to mark the grand Birthday celebration of its founder, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, on 30th December, 2022.
He said as a way of marking the season, they will not only distribute arrays of food items, beverages, but clothing materials through their welfare and philanthropic arm, the Universal Mercy Fellowship.
In his words, “Love and bearing one another’s burdens remains the cardinal teaching of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu.
“He demonstrates this to his adherents and others by practically taking care of their welfare, even at his discomfort.
“This year’s World Charity Day shall also witness visits to Correctional Centres, IDP camps and giving out alms across Nigeria and elsewhere”, he said.
The Public Lecture started in December 2019 as a platform to showcase and reflect on the enduring legacies, teaching and accomplishments of the religious leader.
Global leaders and scholars that have addressed the Lecture series include former governor, Donald Duke, a staunch Pan Africanist, Prof PLO Lumumba and former president of DR Congo, Dr Joseph Kabila, who was represented by Dr Lawson Mbuggus last year.
