“I Observed That This Is One Of The reason the Catholic Church has been around for a long time” – Bishop David Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo has complained about the state of charismatic Christianity especially in Nigeria. He claimed that many pastors are running their church like a shop. He said this at the afternoon session of the Built To Last church growth conference yesterday.

According to him, running a church like a shop is running a church without a structure. He observed that the reason the Catholic Church has been around for a long time is because they have a structure that makes every leader accountable. He said this was also true for the Church of England, which has ensured their continuity.

However, he observed that if charismatic churches, especially the ones in Nigeria, keep running the way they do, with the head of the church not accountable to anybody, then there might not be anything left behind after the founder of the churches die.
