Christ Apostolic Church Theological Seminary (CACTS) Ile Ife,  gathered to celebrate the former Provost, Pastor Professor C. O. Oshun at the CACTS Chapel of Peace in a retirement service.

Chairman of CACTS Governing Council, Pastor Gabriel S. Dada, commended the sacrificial life and service of Prof. Oshun to the seminary, and the Church Authority, charging him to remain strong and maximize the retirement stage which he described as an opportunity to do more for God and humanity.

As part of the item for the event of the retirement service, the Bishop Theologian of the Anglican Communion, Bishop Dapo Asaju, reviewed the book published in honour of the celebrator titled “African Pentecostalism: its History, Theology and Music”, serving as a means to preserve his legacies.

Bishop Asaju, who is also a Professor of Theology at Lagos State University, and the Bishop of Anglican Communion, Ilesa Diocese, described the erstwhile Provost as a humble Professor, Pastor, prayer warrior, Prophet, father, husband, who is loving and affectionate to everyone around him.

He expanded the concept of Pentecostalism as more than just the formal charismatic movement but an experience for every Christian who believes in the manifestation of Holy Spirit as was at the day of Pentecost.

“The experience of Pentecostalism is not just to the indigenous churches but what is now common everywhere,” he explained.

In his reaction, Prof. Oshun appreciated God and the Church Authority for the opportunity to serve, ending his appreciation with songs of praise.
