The Minister of Heavenly Resources

About this book

THE MINISTER OF HEAVENLY RESOURCES A Satirical Drama by Opeyemi Afeni "Politics just got baptized!" When Reverend Kilafe decides to join politics, the elderly clergy warn him that mixing pulpits with politics is a recipe for spiritual indigestion. Undeterred, Kilafe quits to start his own church and offers to serve the government for free—as the self-appointed Minister of Heavenly Resources. Soon enough, youthful Reverend Kanisuru splits from his own church over doctrinal differences. Meanwhile, elderly Reverend Sunlola is left wondering whether any of his former protégés were ever truly transformed or just auditioning for power in cassocks. Holy callings meet unholy ambition in this hilarious play about ego, politics, and the ever-blurry line between the sacred and the secular.
