ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN POLITICS

Have you ever stopped and wondered what God would do given a chance to get involved in politics?Leadership is said to come from deity .I was taught that in the traditional African societial beliefs ,power came  from God ,different gods had power which they delegated to a special group of people in the society.

Some community leaders and rulers were considered semi gods ,clearly invovling God in the day to day activities of the communy's politics.However a lot has changed with the age of industrilization ,immigration as well as urbanization.the  position of God has also changed .

The church has been seen to take sides with  governments ,criticizing as well as giving  direction to  leaders .Its my opinion that the church must clearly understand and take up a neutral stand on matters that affect the nation. A church that does not enjoy independence from the state's influence is equivalent to a political party.
