The battle between Methodist Church members and their bishop has gone to the Court of Appeal.

Bishop Joseph Ntombura, while challenging High Court orders that locked him out of office, has argued that the four church members who sued him did not make use of internal dispute resolution mechanisms set by the church’s constitution before seeking the court’s intervention.
