Political parties in the Country have been advised to realize that National Dialogue will be meaningless without the involvement of the Church.

Evangelical Youth Alliance International (EYAI) Executive Director Moses Lungu says the Church is in fact a critical stakeholder in the dialogue process and deserves respect from all other stakeholders.

Reverend Lungu states that the Church cannot be excluded from the dialogue process when it is already a major stakeholder in the whole entire governance process of the Country.

He states that his organization is therefore opposed to suggestions that an alternative institution be identified to lead the National Dialogue if the Church is having difficulties to lead the process.

    • With the partizan church leaders we have in zambia now, it will make more sense without them. They have lost direction and they dont represent God anymore.

    • These church leaders are after eating. That’s the reason why they want to be part of the process. It’s that simple.

  1. It’s actually meaningless with such as the arrogant Father Chilinda. Apart from that I don’t see anything in this dialogue apart from trying to please one Chililalila.

      Please listen,there will be dialogue,but it wont be for national interests. The moment PF smells the coffee which is soon,they are the ones who are actually going to initiate the process, problem is no one will take them seriously after the circus they have treated the nation to..

    • I respect your opinion. Truth you have to respect the presidency , but I am sure you haven’t albeit deliberately noticed the arrogance by this priest towards the Republican president. You don’t invite the Head of State through newspapers. Ok you haven’t recognized Edgar as president, if so why even bother to invite him to your meetings. I respect your opinion.

  2. If the church is compromised, what do you do!!!! The church is compromised and cannot be trusted. It has been reduced to cadarism.

  3. The church is not compromised and it will never be compromised but certain people are the one trying to confuse the men of God.Some people have got hidden agenda hence this confusion.

  4. WHEREAS THE STATEMENT IS TRUE, HOWEVER IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CHURCH IS NOT COMPOSED OF ONLY THOSE THREE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE THREE MOTHER BODIES. IT IS MADE OF MANY PEOPLE AND MEMBERS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CHURCH ARE REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AND NOT THEIR MEMBERS…. AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THE CHURCH SHOULD BE PRAYERFUL NOT PARTISAN, IT SHOULD BE FASTING NOT FEASTING. CHURCH MEMBERS SHOULD OBEY GOD AND NOT THESE HYPOCRITICAL PHARISEES ALLEGEDLY REPRESENTING THEM, WHEN INWARDLY THEY HAVE HIDDEN PARTISAN INCLINATIONS WHICH THEY ARE CHAMPIONING.

  5. PF deliberately destroyed dialogue to make sure they archive what they want to do. The churches are not after money.This government can not claim to be Christian nation.who started the dialogue, what happened.ZCID what is it for. If the church has failed let’s go back to Commonwealth. How can someone who need to be controlled appoint people to control him and his the one paying them. I conquer what Bishop Tresphode Mpundu said.

  6. iNDIVIDUAL HAVE MADE THE CHURCH TO BE COMPROMISED.iN OTHERWORDS THE CHURCH IS COMPROMISED.iT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CHURCH THE LATE ANGLICAN BISHOP OF LUSAKA STEPHEN MUMBA, MHRP, PRESIDED DURING THE TRANSITION TO MULTI PARTISM. THE OTHER MOTHER BODY FAILED TO ORGANISE A DIALOGUE BECAUSE IT HAD OFFENDED THE THEN PRESIDENT.mIND YOU,UCZ CAN COME UP WITH ITS OWN MOTHER BODY FOR IT CONGREGATION AS IT IS BY THE CATHOLICS.HOW CAN YOU IGNORE THE PRESIDENT OF BODY BY SIGNING BEHIND HIS BACK, BA CCZ?BA CHURCH IS COMPROMISED, AND THEY ARE NEEDED NEAR THIS DIALOGUE DICTATED BY THE SELF OPPOSITION PARTY WITH ITS AFFILIATES OPPOSITION PARTIES.I HOPE CK STAYS AWAY FROM ALLIANCE!!!
