Remnkemi,
The reason you are able to pray in OB with others praying in GB is that you are courteous. Unfortunately, courtesy is the exception and not the rule. In fact in 100% of the cases (which are numerous) when I have prayed in mixed OB/GB grou…

Minatasgeel,
Not sure what the purpose of your response is. Why are you so irritated that somebody is asking if a decision has been made regarding any other dioceses?
Rather than come back with preachy, unnecessary responses that serve no purpose …
