“Beyond public condemnation and expressing shock about alleged wrongdoings, the church must reclaim its prophetic voice to mobilise for active citizenry against the twin demons of greed and corruption that are deepening poverty, unemployment and inequality,” highlighted the Chairperson of the interdenominational five-fold ministries association” highlighted Tlalang.
He added that the the church’s advocacy against corruption will only be taken seriously if it starts refusing to receive tithes and offerings from the known corrupt and distances itself from such characters.
MMF has committed itself to a stronger partnership as well as collaborative activism against corruption.
