‘Christian SA’ must still exorcise legacy of the whip and the gun (Business Day)

Hier is 'n besonder insiggewende stuk wat Vuyo Mvoko in die Business Day geskryf het.

It is commonplace in the townships to see bishops, priests, church elders of the biggest “western” churches — Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist — drink home-brewed beer and slaughter on Saturday and then go to church the following day. In fact, they pray to God as they drag the scared animal to the home, pray again before slaughtering it, and then again before eating its meat. They find no contradictions. In fact, these people think that those who pray without slaughtering, invite bad omens.
