Pastor William Kumuyi, the founder of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has finally explained his decision to invite Muslim clerics to speak at his church’s conference. While addressing the matter on Monday during the Change Makers International (CMI) conference at the General Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Elekahia, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Kumuyi shared his rationale.
The event drew significant attention after images of Muslim clerics, identifiable by their caps, speaking from the church pulpit began circulating on social media, sparking widespread discussion and controversy.
In response to the backlash, Pastor Kumuyi, in a now-viral video, clarified that his decision was influenced by the conference being held at a stadium rather than inside the church itself.
He said: “People were asking, Pastor WF, what are you looking at, look at that man having his cap on. Yes, we are in the stadium, we are not in the church building, and so I do not have to challenge him, he has his cap on.”
