As the country goes through political instabilities, Christians are determined to talk to the public in different groups such as the youth, women couples and other groups to find means of balancing politics, families and communities to avoid consequences that come from violence.
This comes at a time when the country is facing political conflicts especially on the side of opposition parties, where the public has been seen taking sides with different political opinions.
Believers at Grace terbanacle church Kasubi branch held a pastor couple’s conference with an aim of sharing views and experiences among pastors and sharing views on how to balance their marriages, families and communities for a happy living.
One of the elders in this church Pastor David Kasule extended his gratitude over the committe that organised this conference saying, it was meant to give Pastors and their wives a sense of direction in balancing their marriages and communities bringing out the goodness of the lord.
On the other hand, the youth leader in Grace Terbanacle church Kasubi Amos Kamoga has noted that the church needs politics to clearly bring out their views and achieve some of their goals positively, but violence with politics is not called for.
Amos appealed to the youth to try as much as they can to exercise violent free politics so that they keep their lives safe for the good of their future. He adds that however much an issue may appear right, the way it is presented to the authority determines how it will be handled. If it violently presented, it will automatically be handled brutally.
One of the church follower and wife to one of the Pastors in the church Florence Sewanonda has shown concern over the way the youth especially girls carelessly engage in political chaos which to her as a mother, is totally wrong.
She challenged girls to desist from engaging in political conflicts and concentrate more on their education and work, which will help them shape their future.
” It is not proper for girls to engage in political conflicts. They can be damaged in the process and end up affection their physical and mental abilities in the long run.’ She added.
The leader of the church choir called the Mercy choir and an Artist May Ruth Kaweesi says politics is okay for women to be part of it but they need to learn on how to balance it with women activities such as marriage and parenthood. She says most times women get possed in politics and abandon their responsibilities thereby affecting their lives.
She adds that most women have been undressed and exposed their bodies due to engaging in political chaos thereby arguing them not to forget that they are women.
