The General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has lamented the arrest of one of the church’s pastors abroad.
He said the pastor was arrested for addressing those in attendance at a programme “Ladies and gentlemen.”
According to him, the statement was considered discriminatory because it did not capture all of the genders identified by their culture.
The pastor 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.
The clergyman also recounted another disturbing story of a woman who referred to her dog as her husband.
