A Historic Visit: Bishop on the Niger Honored at the Anglican Church of the Holy Spirit, Bronx
On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, the Anglican Church of the Holy Spirit, Bronx, was blessed to host the Rt. Rev. Dr. Owen Chiedozie Nwokolo, Bishop on the Niger, who joined us in worship and fellowship. In a moment of deep gratitude and appreciation, the Rector and Vestry of the church presented Bishop Nwokolo with a Recognition Award for his outstanding contributions to the growth of the Church and theological education through the University on the Niger.
In his heartfelt response, Bishop Nwokolo expressed sincere thanks to the Rector, the Venerable David Nwanekpe, and the entire Vestry for the warm reception and the honor bestowed upon him. Notably, he remarked that this was the very first time he has received such an award outside Nigeria, making the occasion a truly memorable milestone in his ministry.
This event marked a significant chapter in our church's history and affirms our ongoing commitment to recognizing and celebrating exemplary Christian leadership within the global Anglican Communion.
