Blessing Mary Ocheido

Blessing Mary Ocheido, a Nigerian mobility-challenged pharmacist, has shared her experience after attending Catholic and Pentecostal churches in the UK.

According to her, it was a wholesome experience because no one there was trying to win souls or use people for “miracle” experiments.

She also stated that the sermons are free of patriarchal and other ridiculous content.

“I went to church a lot last year. Going to church (non-African ones) in the UK is such a wholesome and a wonderful experience. It’s a good way to be part of a community especially as an immigrant with no family here,” the mother of one wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday, January 7, 2024.

“No one is trying to “win your soul”, use you for “miracle” experimentations and the sermons are free of patriarchal or other ridiculous content.

“You just sit back and enjoy the music that brought you there. Usually, we go for catholic masses but last Sunday, we tried a Pentecostal church and we loved it too. It was giving Hill Song, Women of Faith, Ron Kenoly and Don Moen vibes.”
