OUR RECTOR PREFERRED A VENERABLE ARCHDEACON IN ADOTT
We give thanks to God for the elevation of our father in the lord, Ven. Felix Adebowale Oyinlola, the Rector of the Anglican Church of the Cross Ottawa to the position of a Venerable Archdeacon for Special Duties, Missioner to Atlantic Canada, and the Director of Communication of ADOTT by the Rt. Rev. Olukayode A. Adebogun during his Enthronement Service as the Second Diocesan Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Trinity on Saturday 20th November 2021. Ven. Felix happens to be the first fruit of his episcopate by this preferment. Ven Felix became statutory Canon of the St. Michael Cathedral Esie, Kwara State on December 6, 2015, by the Most Rev. Michael Olukayode Akinyemi, the Retired Archbishop of Kwara Province and Retired Bishop of Igbomina Anglican Diocese. Also in July 2018, he was also preferred the Canon-Missioner of the Canada-East of the Anglican Diocese of the Trinity by the Rt. Rev. Amos Fagbamiye who was the immediate past Diocesan Bishop.
Ven. Felix Ade. Oyinlola
Ven. Felix has been working as the Rector of the Church in Ottawa, Assistant Youth Chaplain Canada for Anglican Trinity Youth Movement of the Diocese, Canon-Missioner for Church planting in the Canada-East Archdeaconry, and Clerical Secretary, Region 1 ADOTT. We thank God for the lives of our Rector and his wife Mrs. Caroline. Of a truth we can say, it pays to serve Jesus. It is our prayer that the good Lord will empower, renew and strengthen our Rector in this new office.
Also, we want to thank the Diocesan of ADOTT, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Adebogun for granting our Rector another opportunity to serve God in a new capacity. May the Lord bless his ministry as he leads the diocese into a brighter future. On behalf of everyone in the Anglican Church of the Cross Ottawa, we rejoice and congratulate our Father and Mother in the Lord. New heights may you gain every day as you continue to fulfill your purpose.
