From AllAfrica-
THE Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) has said wrangles that have characterised the African Methodist Episcopal Church and United Church of Zambia (UCZ) in the recent past are an affront to the body of Christ.
CCZ general secretary Suzanne Matale said in an interview in Lusaka on Monday that the Church represented peace, unity and reconciliation and should, therefore, not be a place for riots and confusion.
Reverend Matale said one of the pillars of resolving conflicts was dialogue, and the Church should show the way in handling differences.
She said the Church should not resort to personal confrontations to resolve issues.
Rev Matale said the Church should follow the set procedure in their congregations when dealing with issues, in line with the scriptures.
Wrangles recently erupted in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and UCZ Matero Congregation in Lusaka over allegations of misapplication of church funds and issues of immorality.
