But why take church to court???? Why? SDA come here quickly...house cleaning....
Afrika needs liberation from religious fanatics who are irrelevant to the issues in the society. The church is not an island working in isolation from society. What affects the country affects the church and as such the church must be an agent of change to repair the social ills. It's very unfortunate to witness the church being part of the problem in the courtrooms. The recent legal development in (Seventh day Adventist Church) in Zimbabwe is a shame as opposition politicians seek to twist the arm of law under the guise of religious freedom.
Politicians are community leaders and when they are invited to the church pulpits they represent the arms of the state and its political identity. By nature opposition politics in Zimbabwe has lost its identity as it feeds on negative energy...rather they be alternative parties which must see the good and encourage the sitting government to deliver on their mandate. We build strong governments when we hold them accountable to their public office as civil servants... The political arm and the religious structure are all servicing the same nation, childish lawsuits charged with religious hypocrisy.
"Mr. Sanyatwe, who briefly spoke from the pulpit after being invited by Mr. Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Advocate Thabani Mpofu, purporting to represent a concerned member of the church, has released a strongly worded letter accusing the church’s leadership of desecration, political co-optation, and gross negligence. However, upon objective scrutiny, these allegations are not only misplaced but appear to be driven by partisan motivations disguised as spiritual concern" (Maverick).
The concerned member has lost touch with reality and his intoxication with "Adventism" and its "purity" neglects the "occupy till I come... He forgets David...a politician... Abraham had a private army.. Daniel a Minister with three brothers.. Hannaniah, Azariah, and Mishael, Ezra, Nehemiah even worked as a cupbearer to the Persian king.
"Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon."
"5 The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from his own kitchens. They were to be trained for three years, and then they would enter the royal service." Daniel 1:4-5
This toxic opposition position is pretentiously ignorant about the divine assignment of the chosen to influence the political system. If the church produces the best Godly people why should they be prohibited from assuming political power? I want you to "be heads and not tails" only those who teach the politics of the tails and what comes out under the tail would consume such content.
Contrary the head has the eyes, the ears, the horns, the mouth of a nation. It is a divine assignment to be of service in the corridors of power. I suggest that opposition parties move away from tail politics to the head politics, to think and speak truth to power.
President ED Mnangagwa has contributed immensely to the SDA in cash and in support. The church enjoys a cordial relationship with government and direct financial/facility donations. The very people claiming "sacred pulpit politics" have seen breaking the holy sabbath for their political meetings and functions.
The Church has channels of communication and no individual member can subvesiviky run an opposition political mobilisation to churches. It is the role of the Union to write to the conference and the conference to the church concerned. Intact the Union should write a letter distancing themselves from this malicious act.
Our very learned Advocate Thabani Mpofu used to go with Nelson to Zunde and church services advertising/campaigning for election, what has changed now? . What was the response from the church. Who wrote letters complaining that the church had been desecrated? .
Can the list of all SDA members who attended the book launch of Sakhala on Sabbath be made available? Why such double standards and two forked tongues claim righteousness while they desecrated the same institution . The real question is "how much of the church is influenced/controlled by opposition parties and how much contribution and control does opposition have in the SDA in Zimbabwe? Personally I think the letter was not fair, and the lawsuit is misplaced zeal and the intentions are that of political ambitions above decorum concerns.
Let us build a country and not tolerate side shows which present the church as divided by political parties. There is more work to do than egos to massage.FoT Maponga Marara Munyuki ChangaMbire Svosve DzimbaBgwe
