Nigerian Anglican evangelist
Cornelius Adam Igbudu (1914–1981) was a Nigerian religious figure known for founding the Anglican Adam Preaching Society (AAPS), an evangelical group in the Anglican Church of Nigeria.[1] He was credited with healing ability.[2][3][4]
The Nigerian independent churches God’s Grace Ministry and New Glory Revival Ministry were traced back to the evangelistic ministry of Cornelius Adam Igbudu in the Nigerian Anglican Church.[5] Cornelius Adam Igbudu was promoted to the status of a saint, and a church was named after him (St. Adam’s Anglican Church at Oghio in the Olomu area of Delta State, Nigeria). A secondary school in Araya (Adam Igbudu Memorial Secondary School)[6] and a bible school in Emevor (Adam Igbudu Christian Institute) were named after him.[7]
The Anglican Adam Preaching Society (AAPS) has not gone defunct along with Cornelius Adam Igbudu in 1981.[8] He was said to have had a disagreement with a prominent Nigerian Isoko cleric, Archbishop Christian Aggrey Apena, whom he accused of “disturbing his ministry” in the Nigerian Anglican Church.[9]
In 1992, Michael Y. Nabofa wrote a book about his life, titled Adam: The Evangelist.[10] In May 1998, Sam U. Erivwo wrote that Cornelius Adam Igbudu was held “in very high regard” by Bishop Agori Iwe, his contemporary.[11]
Igbudu was also remembered for his remarkable contribution to the spread of Christianity in Nigeria through the Anglican Adam Preaching Society.[12]
Igbudu was later dubbed “Isoko’s Greatest Evangelist” because he was said to have “won thousands to Christ”.[13]
