Kumuyi Addresses Controversy Over Muslim Clerics Speaking at Deeper Life Conference
Pastor William Kumuyi, founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has addressed the recent controversy surrounding his decision to invite Muslim clerics to speak at a church conference. The incident occurred during the Change Makers International (CMI) conference at the General Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Photos of Muslim clerics speaking from the church pulpit, with their caps on, sparked widespread discussion and debate on social media. Responding to the criticism in a viral video, Pastor Kumuyi clarified that his decision was influenced by the venue of the event—a stadium rather than a church building.
“People were asking, ‘Pastor WF, what are you looking at? Look at that man having his cap on.’ Yes, we are in the stadium, we are not in the church building, and so I do not have to challenge him; he has his cap on,” Kumuyi explained.
The pastor’s rationale highlights his flexibility and openness to fostering interfaith dialogue in non-traditional settings, emphasizing the distinction between church-specific protocols and broader community engagements.
