Dear Sokwanele,
Thank you for your letters.
It is, indeed, shameful that the world, especially my country, keeps silent on the events that have unfolded and are unfolding in your beautiful country.
Is this what the bible refers to when it says the wicked will rule the innocent and wrong will be deemed right? It certainly appears to be so.
No matter, nowhere in the bible does it say that we are to “sit back, as what is written, is written”.
The fact that the home of the Anglican church have chosen to sweep aside the gospel of Christ and follow their own, worldly doctrines, leaves me unsettled, but with, therefore, a greater understanding of what is happening in the church in Zimbabwe.
I shall forward a copy of this to the archbishop of Cape Town, who is probably aware of the situation, but may, none the less, be keen to see your communication, should he not be on your mailing list.
Please keep the news coming through and take strength from Him, who saves.
(The other thing you might do is start drilling for oil, as it appears as this is one way for “the world” to “take notice”. You may receive attention of another kind, but at least the “shut eyes” would then be forced to admit that they knew all along …).
In Him,
(Name provided)
Cape Town, South Africa
