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.^[5] 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)^[6] and a bible school in Emevor (Adam Igbudu Christian Institute) were named after him.^[7]

The Anglican Adam Preaching Society (AAPS) has not gone defunct along with Cornelius Adam Igbudu in 1981.^[8] 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.^[9]

In 1992, Michael Y. Nabofa wrote a book about his life, titled Adam: The Evangelist.^[10] In May 1998, Sam U. Erivwo wrote that Cornelius Adam Igbudu was held "in very high regard" by Bishop Agori Iwe, his contemporary.^[11]
