Why I think church politics must STOP

I couldn’t resist the urge that pushed me for long even if I realize I would end up saying things that –should I say –are not considered to be my personal business.

I also note that by saying this I am adding one line to the already over written book of our shameful dispute that is being exposed to the world because of our carelessness towards the image of Christianity.

The gossips and disputes which eventually have grown to name calling and personal attacks started few years back from nowhere and now they have become a threat to our future existence as a Christian nation. The problem is everybody wants to talk (talk the weakness of his brother and his own strength).It seems that the days of innocence has passed leaving turns to the days of blame and self-centeredness.
However ,After being puzzled by the unexpected outbursts in the continious church disputes I hear and see respected spiritual leaders entertain this act and its cause of great pain to see people who once were considered to be brothers till death calling names and are engaged in virtual wars through public media like magazines and most recently the internet is simply counterproductive.

The push that is stirring many spiritual existences may have been originated from every possible intention……..the search for identity, personal reasons, internal crisis etc…….for what I see whatever added to the list the conclusion is these people are sick and need spiritual help. They must …….stop being engaged in childish political talks in the church of Christ.
I was surprisingly inspired by the Animal farm story by George Orwell to see the link between the present internal turmoil in the Ethiopian evangelical churches and the pictures Orwell has painted .

I am convinced the 1943 story can relate to the present situation very well as

1. The pigs—these are the present church leaders who sell their past status to earn respect And wealth for their today’s life.

2. The little pigs —-who does a lot of talking against the pigs but are completely Absent in deeds they talk and talk because they want to get attention they have No spiritual intention and they have never kneeled and prayed for the pigs they Condemn.

3. The sheep—-these are the innocent animals who contribute nothing to the problems But are troubled by the cyber and other media attacks between the two parties.

For that matter both the pigs and the blamers (the little pigs) are of the same type …they lack love.
What we have forgotten is……
We must all run our ways silently and see each other in the sight of Christ’s love…..blaming others will never contribute for our achievement before God on the Day of Judgment. If there is anything we could achieve it is Attention and applause from others at the expense of the ruined image of Christianity.

Christianity is a world of public silence and kneeling before God…it is not a place for politics and power. STOP BLAMING EACHOTHER AND START PRAING!!!!!!!!! There you will find your peace.
