We commend the St. Stephen Anglican Church for its stability even after a group seceded from it. The group commends the charitable works of the St. Stephen Church – spending over N2.3M donating to smaller Churches to enable them grow. The women's' programme – 'Noble Mother' and 'Put a Smile' was highly commended. Once again we commend his Lordship for his intervention on the issue of the land \church building for Church of Epiphany, Effurun. Problem: The problem of accommodation for the Church of Epiphany and Christ Anglican Church, Seven – Up, Effurun should be looked into. On statistics, we notice a decline in enrolment in virtually all the groups - lay Readers, Women's & Men's group, this maybe as a result of the break – away. On the financial report, a mistake is observed in the balance of the 2013 Audited report of St. Stephen. The balance should be N36,085.00 not N270,910. In conclusion, the Archdeaconry is doing well and are encouraged not to relent in their effort. EKPAN ARCHDEACONRY Achievement/Commendation.

REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH SYNOD Comment: Brother Felix Agarivbie reported for this group. He informed all that only Anglican Grammar School, Okpara Waterside was available for deliberations. The Board Chairman – Ven. V.A. Onosemuode, JP thanked all and appealed for more funds. The Principal – Sir E.U. Oyobere explained that various challenges led to the low rate of intakes in the new session: for example the community due to cheaper fees being paid in their own school had many more intake than ours. The students also refused to come to our school which they felt was a Mission School that would not allow them to cheat at examinations (not a miracle centre). The deficit seven million naira (N7,000,000) was explained by the Principal (Sir E.U. Oyobere) as part of subvention given to the School and that the School was not owing any person/company. The President of Synod presented their thirty five million naira (N35m) request for next year, which he hoped would ameliorate their teething problems. Extensive debate to source for funds in the coming year (2015) was undertaken and was finally agreed that in the months having five (5) Sundays namely June, August and November, the Priests should choose a typical Sunday in which all monies collected that Sunday would be channelled to aid the School projects. The Archdeacons would be contacted to confirm the various dates and churches. The President agreed that as from the year 2015, a particular Sunday would be chosen for such collection to be done all through the Diocese. The President further encouraged all delegates to send their children to the School just as he has shown such example with his children. He hoped this would encourage all Anglicans to follow suit. Ven. Dr. Bernard Itebiye moved the motion for the adoption of this report. This motion was seconded by Mr. J. Osekavwebor. 5.3.10 GROUP 10 REPORT.

Onoriose, comprising of Effurun and Warri South – West Archdeaconries with Sir Sunny Egho as the discussants, and Revd. Peters Agamugoro as Secretary 1. The Lecture 2. Financial Report THE LECTURE The topic of the Lecture: 'The Burden of Cataract & Glaucoma in Nigeria' which the Lecturer, Dr Ajuzie, Christian, presented as “The Sneak Thief of Sight'' (Cataract & Glaucoma). The choice of this topic is very timely. We therefore commend the Diocesan, the Medical Advisers & their Team, who recommend this topic, and the Lecturer, who did justice to the topic. · We recommend that the churches take seriously, the sign and symptoms; predisposing factors, the preventive measures (proper glaucoma screening for early detection, balanced dieting and avoiding/managing the predisposing factors well). · We recommend that copies of the lecture paper be made available to every delegate. · We also recommend that churches should organize such seminars on Glaucoma & Cataract as well as other health related topics to enlighten their congregations. THE FINANCIAL REPORT We commend the Diocesan for embarking on the ongoing and near completion projects especially; the Bishopscourt secretariat complex; the Bishop’s residence and the new car for the Bishop. ENDOWMENT We commend the good use of funds so receipted for this purpose and the plans to properly invest them. · We also commend the St. Andrew”s Cathedral, St. Peter's Igbudu and St. James' Ojabugbe for working very hard to bring in more funds for this purpose. · We encourage all the Churches to put in more efforts for better results.theme: Serving the Lord without Fear – Luke 1:74 SAT. 3RD – WED. 7TH MAY, 2014. 8 1 Page

REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH SYNOD ACCOUNTS · We commend the external Auditor for carrying out their audit in accordance with the standards of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and the requirements of the Companies and Allied Matters Act. · We also commend the Accounting Department on the orderly, systematic and accurate way, they presented their report. CRITICISMS/RECOMMENDATION: · The Bishopscourt offering is generally low. We recommend that more emphasis should be made on the importance of this offering, for members to be more committed to it. · The report on the income from investment was not clear. It could have been reflected individually and not lumped together. · We observed that despite the recommendation of last year's Synod to increase the amount of assistance to small churches, only N500,000.00 was given in the year under review. We humbly pray that, this be improved upon to enable more churches grow. · We also note sadly, that those churches assisted years ago have made very little or no efforts to repay that which has been given them. Examples of which are Triumphant Church, Ovonomo and Holy Trinity Church Ekpan. Synod should prevail on them to pay up soonest. · We recommend that the ongoing Bishop's residence be placed on the “very urgent” project list and completed within the shortest possible time · We join the external Auditor in recommending that the Account staff be sent for training for the International Finance Reporting Standard (IFRS) system to adequately arm them with the proper financial reporting standards. · The churches owing for the 2013 Diocesan retirement package should pay up not later than this month. · We recommend that Synod makes it mandatory for Diocesan Assessment and Diocesan Endowment funds to be paid into the Diocesan Accounts every month, no matter how small. Occasions wherein months go by without remittance of such into the Diocesan account should be discouraged. · The Diocese of Sapele should be reminded in writing on their debts, for concerted efforts to defray them.theme: Serving the Lord without Fear – Luke 1:74 SAT. 3RD – WED. 7TH MAY, 2014. 8 2 Page

REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH SYNOD Definition Youth refer to the entire time of life when one is young and this falls between the age brackets of 13 – 40yrs. We however note two categories of youths: From ages (13 – 17yrs) known as teenagers and (18 – 40yrs)know as work force youth. These categories are the migrant in the Church. In the light of the above, the group examined youth under the following: i). Why are the youth not in the Church? Some preferred reason are as follows. a. Failure to properly teach them, while they were very young. Prov. 22:6 b. Nominalism: When we are not committed ourselves, it will be difficult to teach the young about commitment to the church. c. Bad Legacy: When adult live double standard life. It gives the youth the impression that such is life and anything goes. d. Rigidity: Holding to old ways of doing things even when it is boring and not open to change and new ideas. e. Peer group pressure: Influence from their mates out there. f. Quest for freedom: Youths like adventure and to break out from the chain of parental control. g. Lack of good music/instrument: They like where modern better songs and musical equipments are used. h. Lack of proper integration from the Children's Church to adult Church. I. Lack of pastoral interest and diligence toward youth ministry. ii). Where can the youths be found? The youths can be found at the following places: a). Music/Entertainment Industry: Comedy Club, film Hall, Clubs etc b). Sports activities e.g football, snooker boards, hand ball court, stadium as football fans, players and social gatherings. c). Viewing Centres: watching films and league matches d). Cyber Cafes: Browsing all manner of site, Establishing internet relationship e). Schools: Acculturation in academic environment and other positive and negative vises. f). Venue of cultural & traditional celebration e.g burial ceremony, carnival, birthday parties. g). Red light region: i.e Night clubs, Hotel, Cult house, Cocaine, Drinking Spot etc. i). Shopping centres/complex, i.e eatries e.t.c. k). Religious/ Arts Theatre.theme: Serving the Lord without Fear – Luke 1:74 SAT. 3RD – WED. 7TH MAY, 2014. 8 9 Page

REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH SYNOD iii). HOW DO WE BRING THEM BACK? a). Organizing regular musical concert in the church b). Revolutionalising Anglican Student Fellowship (ASF), AYF, ACF etc by sending vibrant priests to encourage them and revive their faith and interest in church programmes. c). Reaching out to schools and youth densely populated area through outreach and modern spiritual musical concert. d). Organizing youth empowerment programme by both churches and individuals i.e vocational training and giving tokens to those who help the church as instrumentalists. e). Training programme; such marriage seminars, talent hunt and sponsorship f). Sex Education: Churches should not shy away from this, rather teach the subject with sound moral & spiritual value in the Church. g). Develop a good internet ministry: The church can reach a lot of youth through this medium because youth are interested in internet which is the greatest communication medium now. h). Sport: Empowerment should be done both spiritually & physically. i.e Churches organizing Volley ball, Table Tennis & Football matches between churches & communities where the churches exist. i). Engaging youth in church activities: They must be trained & given voices, listened to, and allowed to communicate freely. j). Show them care & love: Parents, Priests and leader should not neglect this and leaving the youth at the mercy of our evil society. Review of the existing structures for reaching the youth.

REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND SESSION OF THE ELEVENTH SYNOD Existing but not recognized 1. Precious Stone 2. Anglican coral group 3. Daughter of favour Recommendation from the group The group approved all existing youth structure except Boy's Brigade whose activities seems to conflict with that of Anglican Communion Brigade. The group recommend that Synod should review the activities of the Boys Brigade through an ad hoc committee. We also recommend that AYF should be strengthened to embrace all youth organization in the Church. The Archdeaconry and Parishes should ensure that AYF is established in their various Churches and key into the recommended frame work. DISPOSITION OF CLERGY The group after exhaustive deliberation on the subject matter, arrived at the following: 1. We agree that language should not be a barrier for clergy transfer 2. Where there are 2 or 3 priests in a church, one can be from the local dialect. 3. In extreme cases the priest can make use of the local member of the church to interpret, thereby getting them actively involved. In the process there can be quick acculturation. 4. The group noted that the gospel got to us from the White who could not speak our local dialect. More also our sister churches denomation e.g the Roman Catholic Church post their priests anywhere without recourse to language barrier and are doing very well. It is our wish that the recommendation reached by the group will enhance the furtherance of the Gospel in Warri Diocese.theme: Serving the Lord without Fear – Luke 1:74 SAT. 3RD – WED. 7TH MAY, 2014. 9 1 Page
