Rita Edochie has stirred a conversation about the future of religious institutions, questioning what pastors would do if people stopped attending church in the next two years
In a lengthy Instagram post, the veteran actress noted how religious divisions are growing within Christianity and traditional faiths.
Edochie noted that people’s beliefs and approaches to spirituality are evolving, affecting Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, traditional religions, and even atheism.
“Pastors, if people stop going to church in the next two years, what will be your job?” she asked.
She wrote;
”IF WE THE CONGREGATION IN YOUR CHURCH STOP ATTENDING WHAT HAPPENS ?
I ASKED BECAUSE KINGDOMS ARE BEING DIVIDED ON IT’S OWN BOTH IN CHRISTIANITY AND TRADITIONAL , RELIGION .
THINGS ARE FAST CHANGING , AND PEOPLE’S BELIEF AND APPROACH TO LIFE IS NOT LEFT OUT .
TODAY , RELIGION AND PEOPLE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR GOD IS TAKING A DIFFERENT DIMENSION , BE IT CHRISTIANITY , ISLAM , JUDAISM , HINDUSTAN , TRADITIONAL RELIGION OR ATHEIST . THE QUESTION ON EVERY LIPS TODAY IS , IF THESE DIFFERENT BELIEFS FADE AWAY IN FUTURE LIKE IT’S MOST LIKELY TO , GIVEN PEOPLE’S APPROACH TO LIFE TODAY , WHAT WILL THE PRACTITIONERS DO .
THERE ARE SOME MEN OF GOD WHO HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF SUSTAINING THEMSELVES , THEY WILL BE BADLY AFFECTED . THOUGH IN SOME COUNTRIES THESE MEN OF GOD SEE CULTIVATION IN THE LORD’S VINEYARD AS A SACRED CALL , IT DOESN’T STOP THEM FROM LOOKING FOR OTHER MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD . OTHERS SHOULD LEARN FROM THESE ONES .
A STICH IN TIME SAVES NINE ”.
