“Give Black Africans and Africans in the Diaspora Hope That They Are Not Just ‘Fetchers of Water And Hewers” – Reno Omokri Questions The Church Leadership

Nigerian author Reno Omokri has sparked discussion about representation in major Christian denominations. In a social media post, Omokri highlighted that despite most Catholics being of non-European descent, the Catholic Church has not had a non-Caucasian Pope in centuries.

Omokri, who identifies as Itsekiri, referenced his ancestor’s 1652 letter to Pope Clement X requesting more priests for the Iwere Kingdom. He also questioned why the Anglican Church has never had a non-white Archbishop of Canterbury despite Nigeria having more Anglicans than England.”

Are Black and Brown people condemned to be forever followers in these Euro-centric churches and never leaders?” Omokri asked, suggesting this disparity may explain why independent denominations like the Redeemed Christian Church of God are growing rapidly in Africa.
