Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo has sparked conversations with a message about the importance of apologising to people one has hurt, stressing that speaking in tongues should never be used as a substitute for taking responsibility for one’s actions.
The respected cleric made the statement while addressing the relationship between spirituality, personal accountability and how people treat others.
According to her, Christians should understand that praying and speaking in tongues do not excuse them from admitting their mistakes or making peace with people they have offended.
“Speaking in tongues will not replace the apology you owe people in English,” she said.
Her remark highlights the importance of genuine apologies, forgiveness and humility, particularly among people who profess to be deeply religious.
The statement has also drawn attention to the need for Christians to ensure that their spiritual practices reflect in their everyday behaviour and relationships with others.
