Introduction and Call for Papers
Journal of Religions and Peace Studies (JOREPS) is a refereed, research and scholarly journal of the department of Religions and Peace Studies, Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University, published twice in a year. It publishes articles in all fields of religions, peace, conflict, war and allied studies. Research and scholarly papers in the above stated areas are hereby invited for its maiden edition.
JOREPS' Editorial Policy requires that the accuracy of facts and/or quotations, opinions, findings, and conclusions are the sole responsibility of the respective authors, and do not reflect the opinions and positions of the editors and the department of Religions and Peace Studies, Lagos State University as an academic department.
The Editorial Policy of the Journal requires that submitted manuscripts should conform to the following guidelines:
1. Manuscripts should be encoded, double-spaced, except block quotations, and with 1" margin on all sides. A not-less-than-100 words, but not-more-than-300 words abstract together with keywords typed below the abstract should be presented before the Introduction Part of the manuscript. The manuscript should be sent electronically to the Editor-in-Chief through the e-mail addresses cited below: lateef.adetona@edu.ng, danoyeoguntola@yahoo.com
2. The manuscript should not exceed 20 pages on a standard A4 paper.
3. The manuscript must use the Turabian style of referencing.
4. Book reviews not more than a thousand words are also solicited and a review article not exceeding ten pages can also be submitted.
5. The Editorial Board requires that all contributions should be encoded using the Microsoft Word format with plain font of Times New Roman with the right hand margin being justified.
6. The manuscript should use English as its medium and must not have been submitted to other journals, or it is already published, or in a process of publication. Otherwise, it is not considered for publication in this journal.
7. Authors are advised to keep a copy of their manuscripts.
8. A brief biographical note on the author indicating his/her educational attainment, specialisation, present position/ rank, contact number, and current research projects should also be provided.
JOREPS employs the double-blind process of review. This means that both the authors and the referees do not know each other. To accomplish this, the papers sent for review to the referees will not bear the names of the authors and the identities of the referees are likewise withheld from the knowledge of the authors.
When two of the three referees recommend for the publication of the proposed paper, the latter shall be bound for publication after the author has duly complied with the comments and/or instructions of the referees; otherwise, the paper would be rejected. In principle, the recommendation for acceptance or rejection of the paper rests on the referees. However, it is the members of the Editorial Board who have the final authority to determine the publishability or rejection of the paper. When the recommendation of referees are contradicted or vetoed by the members of the Editorial Board, as a matter of moral obligation, the referee will be notified with enough reasons why the Editorial Board has contradicted the recommendation of the referee.
An assessment fee of 5, 000 Naira is expected to be paid for processing the paper and a publication fee of 20.000:00 Naira will be paid after the acceptance of the paper.

I have followed the series of reactions trailing the disaster at the Synagogue Church of all Nations with a sense of shock and disbelief. It is as if some people have been waiting in the wings for the man of God to fail, forgetting that he is a mortal indeed, like the rest of us. No human can be God, so we must make our comments with a great sense of responsibility, in the spirit of fairness and objectivity...............
