Cornelius Adam Igbudu
Cornelius Adam Igbudu (1914–1981) was a Nigerian religious figure known for founding the Anglican Adam Preaching Society (AAPS), an evangelical group in the Anglican Church of Nigeria. He was credited with healing ability.

Legacy

The Nigerian independent churches God's Grace Ministry and New Glory Revival Ministry were traced back to the evangelistic ministry of Cornelius Adam Igbudu in the Nigerian Anglican Church. Cornelius Adam Igbudu was promoted to the status of a saint, and a church was named after him (St. Adam's Anglican Church at Oghio in the Olomu area of Delta State, Nigeria). A secondary school in Araya (Adam Igbudu Memorial Secondary School) and a bible school in Emevor (Adam Igbudu Christian Institute) were named after him.

The Anglican Adam Preaching Society (AAPS) has not gone defunct along with Cornelius Adam Igbudu in 1981. He was said to have had a disagreement with a prominent Nigerian Isoko cleric, Archbishop Christian Aggrey Apena, whom he accused of "disturbing his ministry" in the Nigerian Anglican Church.

In 1992, Michael Y. Nabofa wrote a book about his life, titled Adam: The Evangelist. In May 1998, Sam U. Erivwo wrote that Cornelius Adam Igbudu was held "in very high regard" by Bishop Agori Iwe, his contemporary.
