Christians, especially the Knights of St Mulumba, KSM, have been charged to imbibe the worthy life of Jesus Christ so as to ensure proper development of human resource.
Rev Fr (Dr) Hyginus Aghaulor, the Episcopal Vicar For Ozubulu Region of the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi called on members of the Knight of St Mulumba to focus attention on training of the human person to achieve a balanced and responsible personality in life.
Fr Aghaulor who is the Worthy Chaplain of the Sub Council of the Order stated that failure of the human society to do this has resulted in the malformation of the human person hence giving rise to all the violence, crime, neopaganism and immorality that have bedeviled the society today.
The Episcopal Vicar frowned at the regular pulling down and renovation of ecclesiastical structures within parishes every now and again. He wondered if parishioners derive some inexplicable joy or pecuniary gains in it.
He therefore asked if any individual would do same to their homes and rebuilding them now and again. The Chaplain argued that much profit would be derived in channeling such funds to other human and or ecclesiastical capital development.
The lecture was part of series of lectures in memory of the late Rev Fr Abraham Anselm Ojefua who founded the Order of Knight of St Mulumba. He died in 1988.
The Ozubulu Sub Council of the Order of the knights of St Mulumba organized the lecture at their Ozubulu Temple and was heavily attended by members. The life touching lecture by Fr Aghaulor, the Worthy Chaplain of the Sub Council, went down memory lane on the virtuous life of Fr Ojefua.
The Grand Knight (GK) of the Sub Council, Ignatius Nnubia(KSM) in brief interview with journalists shortly after the event explained that the nationwide lecture series was part of the sacrifices they have to make in their sojourn on earth to deepen their faith and to imitate Jesus Christ, whose life was encapsulated in the virtuous life of Fr Ojefua.
He said that Very Rev Fr Aghaulor was chosen as the guest lecturer because of his vast knowledge of the Order, and his avowed passion for human capital development.
Consequently Nnubia urged Christians to adopt our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ footprints, whose life was replicated by Fr Ojefua. “Let our life reflect positively with love on our neighbours for their our edification,” he advised his fellow knights.
Sir Nnubia equally beckoned on the church to emulate Christ and refrain from too frequent demolition and rebuilding of existing ecclesiastical structures but to be concerned essentially with the capital development of her members.
The Order of the Knights of St Mulumba was established by the late Rev Fr Abraham Anselm Ojefua, a Catholic priest and monk, on June 14 1953 at Owerri.
