Beware of mundane things - Bishop tells Knights

Members of the Council of Knights of St Christopher, Egbu Anglican Diocese, have been warned not to allow mundane things to prevent them from making heaven.

Bishop of the diocese, Rt. Rev. Geoffrey Okorafor, gave the warning while speaking at a thanksgiving service to mark the end of the knights' chapter meeting recently at Emmanuel Church, Emii, Owerri North LGA of Imo State.

He said that it would be most ridiculous and an irony of fate should any of them be cast out after living as a knight.
