Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Liberia National Pastoral Network for Peace has called on Nimba County Senator and evangelist Prince Y. Johnson to maintain the biblical mandate and sacredness of the holy pulpit in the discharge of his pastoral responsibility.They warned Nimba County\u2019s Senator to desist from using the church\u2019s sacred desk, which they believe should be the center of biblical doctrines and liturgical affirmation, as a platform to propagate confrontational and provocative messages against political rivals.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the group cautioned that after several years of the country\u2019s turbulent past, it is the duty of religious leaders to be the torchbearers of peace and to serve as examples to the younger generation in peacebuilding and unity.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference on Friday, May 26, 2023, Bishop Justice V. R. Nyonsiea stated that the church is the center of redemption. Therefore, Senator Johnson should preach messages that will inspire peace, hope, and redemption to his congregation.<\/p>\n

Nyonsiea said, \u201cWe believe that the ecclesiastical transformation and development path of post-conflict Liberia under the Weah-led administration is something that all Liberians should appreciate, and the religious community must lead the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

He condemned the act of violence when a youth group under the banner of the National Patriotic Party (NPP) Youth Council created panic at Senator Johnson\u2019s Christ Chapel of Faith Ministry, forcing members to flee for safety after they stormed the church\u2019s premises chanting \u201cWar Crimes Court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s actions also forced the notorious warlord turned evangelist to call off his service.<\/p>\n

Nyonsiea stated that Liberians, irrespective of their political affiliations, tribal backgrounds, and religious persuasions, should never resort to violence and crisis. He stressed, \u201cLiberians must not do something to jeopardize the peace everyone enjoys today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prospect of Liberia becoming economically viable and fostering more development, with the expected October 10, 2023, general elections, should be a clear manifestation and determinant for the country to continue its transformation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He, however, indicated that with the increasing waves of doctrinal diversities, religious denominations, and others, the group will submit its recommendation to the government to enact or create a ministry known as the \u201cMinistry of Religious Affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the responsibility of this ministry would be to develop policies that would regulate all religious activities within the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this way, we will foster religious tolerance, democracy, and meet the physiological needs of all Liberians,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
