A press briefing held by a group of faith leaders in Lilongwe has sparked controversy, with the leaders refusing to disclose the names of the denominations they represent.
The briefing was convened to address Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa’s comments on the June 10 plane crash inquiry report.
According to reports, the faith leaders criticized Archbishop Msusa’s remarks, with one of them, Alfred Mphote, stating that the comments could incite violence.
Mphote emphasized the importance of promoting peace and urged religious leaders not to provoke hostility.
However, what transpired after the press briefing has raised more questions than answers.
A heated argument allegedly erupted among the faith leaders over the distribution of funds.
One pastor reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the amount of money they received, claiming it was a smaller share.
This revelation has cast a shadow over the motives of the faith leaders, with some questioning whether their actions were driven by a genuine desire to promote peace or by self-interest.
The incident has also sparked debate about the role of faith leaders in promoting peace and stability in society.
While some have praised the leaders for speaking out against Archbishop Msusa’s comments, others have criticized their handling of the situation and their apparent focus on personal gain.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the actions of the faith leaders have damaged their credibility and raised questions about their commitment to promoting peace and justice.
