President Edgar Lungu has encouraged the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church to continue with its approach of not getting involved in partisan politics.
The Head of state said that the SDA is one of the shining examples of how the Church should conduct its affairs when it comes to uniting people across the country. President Lungu said that the Church has continued embracing people with the view of promoting unity away from active politics.
President Lungu said that the growing trend where some Churches have decided to take part in partisan politics is not good for the country and that if this trend continues it has potential to destroy the country.
President Lungu who was accompanied by cabinet Ministers and other government officials said this when he attended the SDA Northern Zambia Union Conference in Kitwe.
And SDA Northern Zambia Union Conference President Samuel Sinyangwe urged church leaders to stick to their lane. Pastor Sinyangwe said the violence that happens in society should not be blamed on politicians alone but also the Church. He said Church leaders should preach love and peace if they do not want to see violence in society.
Pastor Sinyangwe said he is proud of the youths in the SDA Church because they know their role in society. He told the President Lungu during a sermon that if he finds someone causing trouble on the street then that person is not a real Adventist.
That’s great

When it suits you, they should be non partisan, when it doesn’t they shouldn’t be. Kikikiki. What makes you think they were non partisan when they were already hosting you? What makes them different from your Christians for yourself? Is it not because Christians for yourself have no church on the CB why they represented them?
That’s why am voting for him again
Edgar Lungu doesn’t mean a word of wht is being reported here. He’s publicly rejected separation of church and state on many occasions.
If the church cant speak for its pipo then its useless church, big up Roman catholic churches
Comfort Fisonga If some one utters rubbish against the sacred institution like a church, then such a person is fit to categorize as a fool.
Comfort Fisonga so to you speaking for people is to be politically inclined, the same catholics u are praising are part of the people who put us in this mess, they openly campaigned for pf in 2011, so tell me if Zambia is better country after we chased the MMD
Chali Pride Zimba is it the same pf or the SATA pf,yes they supported pf under SATA not aba bambi

Then who are those people bring disunity your Excellency. I thought once we deal with that which is bringing disunity, the church will have other role to play like preaching the gospel
No, my president on that one you are mistaken.
The majority of them like HH to the president. We know them very well.
Bravo Jehova’s witness true nonpartisan

If people dont openly condemn massive glaring corruption, political intolerance, dictatorial tendency and tribal hate speech you think that’s uniting the country. The thing is that you will never like people who advocate for good governance and you take them as opposition.
If TIZ calls for firing of a minister you say opposition is pressuring you to do. For you everything is politics. The have a good reason why they cant openly criticize your leadership. But it Is not what you are thinking.
All you want is the people either to praise you or keep quiet. It doesn’t work that way.
Zambia will be great with 20 SDA ministers in September, those useless Pentecostal bishops Chomba of PF.
The shame that has fallen on America should not be any where near our country. The head of state as a torch bearer is leading the crusade of peace by encouraging the church not to be partisan. Rwanda genocide is still very fresh in our minds. This was orchestrated by some well known clergy from the Catholic Church. These leaders where summoned by the ICC. Pope Francis is on record to have asked for forgiveness on behalf of his church because they got involved in spread Ming of hatred that fuelled the genocide. Some bloggers here have no clue and are in the habit of just criticising everything that comes from the head of state.
The leadership of SDA must be impeached.
You can’t have a neutral church in the wake of evil.
Idah Ntombifuthi Mubuso which neutral church?
the SDA have been doing a great job
jehovas witnesses are the best

Andrew Simusokwe see this advise
Thandiwe Nkhoma Phiri good advice

The SDA Church in zambia is a let down, never heard them say anything even if people are being killed dwee..
He should disband Christians for Lungu. Talk is cheap!
The upnd have been attempting to infiltrate the sda without success. Thank you sda for refusing those tribal bush hyenas.
The churches are housing all sorts of people and any so called churches or church which doesn’t speak these diabolical pathetic schemes and activities happening under this kakistocracy thieving circus regime is just a flea circus church/ churches.Its not a church with a direction
@ Kaizar Zulu, confirmation of your being sacked by ECL, PF has now ostracized Munir Zulu – payment of ECL K185,000 from your corruption hasn’t worked
Elijah spoke against the misrule of Jezebel and he was a Prophet of God. Where can we draw a line between Church and politics ?
The SDA Church is one of the best religious organizations in the world you like or not. In Zambia at least they have schools, hospitals, universities and so on. They don’t climb on anti hills just to be seen that they are speaking for people. They work for people silently. Point at any school, hospital, University that the Jehovah’s witnesses have put up in this country, zero. So is their being the best?
Making political noise in the media by some clergy does not mean that is working for people. There are a lot of people in this country who speak for people silently. They may not be in media and that is the spirit. The SDA Church leadership of approaching things is good it has no potential of fueling confusion or war as it was in Rwanda.
So even if they used the HB condoms, they should keep quiet? The church must speak for the people as christianity entails. without fear or favour

Mother church must speak for its pipo tomorrow same pipo will say the church is not supporting them
Because someone disagrees with some government policy, does not necessarily mean that person favours an opposition party.
