The sponsor of the bill, Honourable Istifanus Gyang, said when established, the courts would complement the regular courts in adjudicating matters relating to the Christian faith, between individuals and groups that yield and submit to its jurisdiction.

According to him, the judges, who are to be called cardinals, are expected to be drawn from those learned in law, who would be required to administer justice in accordance with christian faith and the laws of the country.
