From Zimbabwe- ANGLICAN Diocese of Eastern Zambia Bishop William Mchombo has advised the Church leaders to desist from taking part in partisan politics but to play an advisory role to all the political parties ahead of the 2011 Presidential poll.
The Anglican bishop said it was imperative for all the Church leaders not to be involved in partisan politics but advocate for good governance. In an interview in Chipata yesterday, Bishop Mchombo said it was sad some Church leaders were supporting certain political parties ahead of the 2011 polls.
The Anglican prelate said the Church members were affiliated to different political parties of their choice adding that by supporting a particular party, the Church risked alienating some of its members. "The Church is suppose to play an arbitration role in the governance of the nation. It is supposed to advocate for good governance and not involving its self into active politics," he said.
Bishop Mchombo said the Church should preach love and reconciliation to all the Zambians despite their political affiliation.
