Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God has lamented the arrest of one of the church’s pastors abroad.
Pastor Adeboye said the cleric was arrested for addressing those in attendance at a programme “Ladies and gentlemen.”
According to the Cleric, the statement was considered discriminatory because it did not capture all of the genders identified by their culture.
Pastor Adeboye made this known during the church’s monthly thanksgiving service at the RCCG’s Throne of Grace in Lagos State on Sunday.
His sermon, which was broadcast to all parishes of the church, was titled “My father’s house.”
“The end is nearer than you think. Things are getting worse, and this is a wake-up call. One of my pastors abroad was arrested for simply addressing a gathering as ‘ladies and gentlemen.’
“Some people reported him for discrimination, asking, ‘What about those who are neither ladies nor gentlemen?’” he stated.
