- W1615123172 abstract "This dissertation evaluates the activities of the Diocese of Lagos West, AnglicanCommunion, Church of Nigeria and its contribution to societal development. Over the years,the DLW has been involved with the society and has become a major diocese within theAnglican Communion, Church of Nigeria and in Lagos State, with a substantial numericalstrength as well as a meaningful social, political, economic, and religious influence within thesociety. Since its establishment, the DLW has made great achievements in the areas ofeducation, healthcare, social and political development.This study aims to show that the DLW in Lagos has been part of society building and it willexplore the impacts of their activities in the society. This study demonstrates that the socialand political involvement of the DLW in the society has a biblical and philosophicalconviction. The research hypothesises that the closer the relationship of the church has withthe state is crucial for the benefit of the people. The research employed an empiricalqualitative approach to test the proposition by analysing the data from the research area. Thefindings of the research show that religion and politics can mix as they are both concernedwith the same subject matter –the people, who belong to both camps. The findings also showthe close relationship between the church and the state and the extent to which the church isinvolved with the state and politics. However, the ambivalent character of the church likeevery other faith was validated. State and church do both impact society, but the DLW’seffective work in the society was quite distinct from the state or its politics. As such, thechurch is well positioned for societal transformation both politically and socially. This shouldserve as an example to other churches, allowing them to realise that their social and politicalactions are means of fulfilling their mission and clear the doubts on the legitimacy of theChurch getting involved in the socio-political realm. Recommendations are made to ensurethat the church maintains its boundaries despite its involvement -whilst sustaining its positiveinfluence in the society on the one hand, and also challenging the unjust structures andunfavourable government’s policies, on the other hand." @default.
