HH, ECL CAN CALM TENSION – CHURCH
THREE Church mother bodies have observed that there is so much tension in the country and have made an impassioned appeal to President Hakainde Hichilema and his predecessor Edgar Lungu sit together and simmer down the growing political tension.
The Zambia Council of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB), the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) and the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) stated that President Hichilema and Mr Lungu must dialogue and unify the nation which had drifted apart regionally.
ZCCB Secretary General Father Francis Mukosa said in an interview that calls for dialogue between the two leaders had been there for some time and that it was up to the President Hichilema and former President Lungu to dispense with their spite against each other and unite the country.

You churches and bishops have been on Lungu s side egging him on instead of correcting him.what s changed now. Bishops and priests have allowed ECL the pulpit for threats and hate speach. Stop being hypocrites keep the church out of politics. Many Christians have lost faith in especially the Catholic church
Unfortunately our churches have lost the credence they once had. They behaved like scared little men during the gassing and continued to pamper chagwa for brown envelopes even when he had left office.
Atase!! This is annoying from these church bodies. When we have calm, they are in the fore front creating tension with unfair criticism from your pulpits and allowing ECL to say rubbish from your pulpits. Now you want to call for dialogue!!. Are you guys normal??? How about you yourselves start by exercising neutrality and promoting peace and unity from your pulpits!!!
Mr. Lungu’s corruption was all consuming, and the church was not spared. He even managed to corrupt the Catholic Church, a feat that no president before him had achieved.
You may recall that one priest actually advocated rigging the 2021 elections just to ensure that PF retained power. The Archbishop ar one time received a donation from Mr. Lungu for some building project in Kabushi, Ndola.
Another priest in Kwacha East constituency received a Mercedes Benz as a gift from the then PF MP in addition to a bus that was donated by the same MP.
With this kind of checkered background, do you really expect the Catholic Church to be objective when they were beneficiaries of the “Akasaka ka ndalama”? The Catholic Church was the last bation of church integrity but they fell to the mighty corrupt PF. I won’t bother about the pentecostal church.
Useless Babylon Preachers, always queuing for brown envelopes of proceeds of crime!
How you have fallen from grace you Hypocrites, formenting, aiding and abetting lawlessness!
If you really mean well for Zambia, tell Lungu to tone down and stop agitating for early elections! Let him be the first to allow his successor to finish his term of office!
He is lucky that his Successor has tried to be nice to him, even extending an Olive Branch which ECL has since broken!
Unfortunately Snakes are not known to love peace!
The Churches have already lost Credibility because of taking sides and it’s rather too late for them to objectively take back the neutral stand!
Many young voters have since ditched the church as hypocritical and irrelevant to the peacemaking role.
They will be flushed down the toilet with their Snake because of Sedition!
Instead of the church preaching peace and encouraging citizens to be subject to governing authorities as the bible says, they are the ones in the forefront aiding and abetting lawlessness and rebellion?
Just keep to your lane!
Zambia has patriotic men and women in Uniform who have been the shining Beacon of Discipline and Peace!
We will not allow the Snake and Gang to disturb the peace! Our allegiance is to the serving Commander in Chief of the Armed forces and to the territorial integrity of Zambia!
We are not interested in your petty partisan squabbles!
And should hell break loose, we know the trouble makers we’ll have to round up and deal with!
So, let adults begin to behave like mature and wise people before it is too late!
Beating a Bush the corrupt bishops instead of telling former criminal president to behave them they want to involve HH who is innocent.
