A protest recently erupted at the CCC Metropolitan Archdiocese Parish in Washington DC, USA, demanding the immediate removal of the newly appointed Shepherd. This bold demonstration was fueled by the dissatisfaction of several Parish members towards the new shepherd and the role played by Superior Evangelist Pius Adebowale in undermining the collective interests of the Parishioners.
The protest unfolded after the service held on December 10th, 2023, when a group of passionate Parishioners unfurled banners expressing their discontent. Their frustration stemmed from the abrupt withdrawal of M/S/E Olarinde, a respected figure who was known for his ability to mediate and engage all parties involved in negotiations. In contrast, the newly appointed shepherd, A/V/S/E Ogun, has faced widespread rejection due to alleged ties to Superior Evangelist Pius Adebowale.
Parishioners have accused Superior Evangelist Pius Adebowale of orchestrating a power grab by forcefully imposing A/V/S/E Ogun on the Parish. In response, it is expected that the Pastor’s Office will step up its efforts to facilitate a well-coordinated discussion among all parties involved. The aim is to address this pressing matter that has hindered the progress of the Parish, which has proudly stood for 49 years.
This crisis has had a profound impact on the Parish, shaking its very foundation. The Parishioners, driven by their unwavering determination, have taken a bold stand against what they perceive as an unjust and disruptive force. Their demand for the immediate removal of the newly transferred Shepherd echoes throughout the Parish, resonating with the urgency and importance of their cause.
As the Parish navigates through this tumultuous period, it is crucial for all parties to come together and engage in a constructive dialogue. Only through open and transparent discussions can the Parish hope to find a resolution that restores harmony and progress.
