Sergey Shidlovsky To the editors of our portal received a letter of the press service of the international interfaith "Movement of the seekers of God."

To avoid misunderstandings and confusion, we publish the text of the statement."I resent deeply the monstrous dimensions of lies of pastor Sunday Adelaja and arrogance with which he delivers, and how much he has accomplices. Up until now, I spoke about Sunday Adelaja only positive, because I always tried to think about all only good, to respect God's anointed, and because I am sincerely grateful to the Sunday for all the good things he has done for me and many others. But now, hearing terrible lie Sunday, I can't keep quiet anymore!I appeal to You, pastor Sunday: "When I was in prayerful solitude, GOD TOLD ME to REBUKE YOU!"

Know and heard by thousands of people! I personally attended many of the meetings, when pastor Sunday Adelaja not only urged all to carry money is in "kings capital", but mockingly laughed over those who haven't done so already! I personally sat in the hall, when he was explaining to everyone how important it is to take out a loan under my apartment and put it in this company. Читать полностью -->
