Accra, Ephreli 19, 2024. Umhlahlandlela usixwayise: umlando weCape Coast - 150 km ukusuka e-Accra - uyadabukisa futhi uyavukela; kumele siqine ukuze sikubekezelele ngokwengqondo! Le nqaba eyakhiwa amaNgisi ekhulwini le-17 yavakashelwa izihambeli ezingaba ngu-250 ze-Global Christian Forum (GFM)
Sivakashela amaphaseji angaphansi komhlaba, amanye angenazo izibani zasemkhathini, lapho izigqila eziya emazweni aseMelika zaziminyene khona. Yeka ukuthi lalihluke kanjani ekamelweni elikhulu lombusi elinamafasitela angu-9 negumbi lakhe lokulala elikhanyayo elinamafasitela amahlanu! Ngaphezu kwalezi zindawo ezimnyama, isonto laseSheshi elakhiwe “iSociety for the Propagation of the Gospel”. “Lapho kwakuhlatshelelwa khona uHaleluya, kuyilapho izigqila zimemeza ukuhlupheka kwazo ngezansi,” kuchaza umqondisi wethu!
Okukhathaza kakhulu ukuthethelelwa kwenkolo yobugqila. Ngaphezu kwesonto lenqaba nesonto lamaWeseli eliqhele ngamamitha angamakhulu ambalwa, nanku lo mbhalo obhalwe ngesiDashi phezulu komnyango, kwenye inqaba eseduze nelethu, engiboniswe ngomunye owayeyivakashele: “ UJehova wakhetha iSiyoni, wathanda ukulenza libe yindawo yakhe yokuhlala.” Wayesho ukuthini umuntu owabhala lesi sicaphuno esivela kuHubo 132, ivesi 12? Omunye umnyango unombhalo othi "umnyango wokungabuyi": wayiswa emakoloni, izigqila zalahlekelwa yikho konke: ubunikazi bazo, isiko labo, isithunzi sabo!
Ukuze kugujwe iminyaka engu-300 selokhu kwakhiwe le nqaba, i-African Genesis Institute yabeka uqwembe lwesikhumbuzo olunala mazwi acashunwe encwadini kaGenesise: “(UNkulunkulu) wathi ku-Abrama: “Yazi ukuthi inzalo yakho iyakuba ngabafokazi ezweni. lokho akusikho okwabo; bayakuba yizigqila khona, bahlupheke iminyaka engamakhulu amane. Kodwa ngiyakwahlulela isizwe esibe yizigqila zaso, bese siphuma nempahla enkulu.” ( 15.13-14 )

Umbuzo owawusemqondweni wami lapho ngingena kuleli sonto lombhishobhi langaleso sikhathi lokuhweba ngezigqila wabuzwa ngu Ngokwesibonelo, Essamuah, unobhala jikelele we-GFM: “ziqhubeka kuphi lezi zigemegeme namuhla? »
“Umthandazo wokulila nokubuyisana” ube usuholwa phambi kombhishobhi wendawo waseWeseli. Leli vesi leHubo 130 libeka indlela yokugubha umkhosi: “Sikhala kuwe sisezinzulwini. Nkosi, yizwa izwi lami” (v.1). Ukushumayela kwethulwa nguMfu. UMerlyn Hyde Riley we-Jamaica Baptist Union kanye nesekela likamengameli we-World Council of Churches central committee. Uchaza “njengenzalo yabazali abayizigqila.” Ngokusekelwe encwadini kaJobe, ubonisa ukuthi uJobe uphikisana nobugqila, evikela isithunzi somuntu njengesimiso esiyisisekelo, kuzo zonke izimo ezinzima. Okungenakuthethelelwa akunakuthethelelwa, noma okungathetheleleki kuthethelelwe. “Kufanele sikubone ukwehluleka kwethu futhi sikhale njengoJobe, futhi siqinisekise ubuntu bethu obuvamile, obudalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu,” kusho yena.
Olandelayo, Setri Nyomi, ibamba likanobhala-jikelele we-World Communion of Reformed Churches, kanye nezinye izihambeli ezimbili zamasonto eReformed, bakhumbula i-Accra Confession eyanyatheliswa ngo-2004, eyayigxeka ukuhileleka kobuKristu ekungabini nabulungisa. "Lokhu kusebenzisana kuyaqhubeka futhi kusibizela ekuphendukeni namuhla."
Ngokwe Rosemarie Wenner, umbhishobhi waseMethodist waseJalimane, ukhumbula ukuthi uWesley wathatha isikhundla esimelene nobugqila. Nokho, amaWeseli akulahla futhi akuthethelela. Ukuthethelelwa, ukuphenduka kanye nokubuyiselwa kuyadingeka: “UMoya oNgcwele usiholeli ekuphendukeni kuphela kodwa nasekubuyiseleni,” uyacacisa.
Lo mgubho ubufakwe izingoma, okuhlanganisa nethi “Oh freedom” ethinta inhliziyo, eyaqanjwa yisigqila esivela emasimini kakotini eMelika:
Oh Oh Nkululeko / Oh Oh Nkululeko phezu kwami
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ngibe yisigqila / Ngizongcwatshwa ethuneni lami
Futhi uye ekhaya eNkosini yami futhi ukhululeke
Kunanela ngokuvakasha eCape Coast
Lokhu kuvakasha kuphawule umhlangano we-GCF. Izikhulumi eziningi kamuva zazwakalisa umbono eyayiwenza kuzo. UMons Flávio Pace, unobhala weDicastery for Promoting Christian Unity (Vatican), ulandisa ukuthi phakathi neVeki Elingcwele wathandaza endaweni uJesu ayevalelwe kuyo, ngaphansi kwesonto likaS. Peter eGallicante, eJerusalema, kanye neHubo 88 : “Usifakile ngingene emgodini ophansi kakhulu, ekujuleni kobumnyama kakhulu”. (Ivesi 6). Wacabanga ngalelihubo enqabeni yesigqila. “Kumelwe sisebenzisane ngokumelene nazo zonke izinhlobo zobugqila, sifakazele ubuqiniso bukaNkulunkulu futhi silethe amandla eVangeli okubuyisana,” esho.
Ukuzindla ‘ngezwi likamalusi omuhle’ ( Johane 10 ) Lawrence Kochendorfer, umbhishobhi wamaLuthela eCanada, wathi: “Sizibonile izinto ezinyantisayo zaseCape Coast. Sezwa ukukhala kwezigqila. Namuhla, kunezinhlobo ezintsha zobugqila lapho amanye amazwi ekhala khona. ECanada, amashumi ezinkulungwane zamaNdiya athathwa emikhayeni yawo ayiswa ezikoleni okuhlala kuzo izinkolo.
Ngosuku olungemva kwalokhu kuvakasha engingasoze ngakukhohlwa, Esmé Bowers weWorld Evangelical Alliance wavuka enengoma ethinta inhliziyo ezindebeni zakhe, ebhalwe ukapteni womkhumbi wezigqila: “Umusa Omangalisayo.” Waba iqhawe elishisekayo lokulwa nobugqila.
Okuthinte kakhulu Michel Chamoun, Umbhishobhi wama-Orthodox waseSyria eLebanon, phakathi nalezi zinsuku zeForamu, wayelombuzo: “Kwakungenzeka kanjani ukuba kuthethelelwe lesi sono esikhulu sobugqila? » Zonke izigqila zingumuntu onelungelo lokuphila ngesithunzi futhi omiselwe ukuphila okuphakade ngokukholwa kuJesu. Intando kaNkulunkulu iwukuba sonke sisindiswe. Kodwa kukhona futhi olunye uhlobo lobugqila: ukuba yisiboshwa sesono sakho siqu. “Ukwenqaba ukufuna intethelelo kuJesu kukubeka esimweni esibi kakhulu ngoba kunemiphumela yaphakade,” usho kanje.
Daniel Okoh, wenhlangano yamaBandla ase-Afrika amisiwe, ubona othandweni lwemali umsuka wobugqila, njengabo bonke ububi. Uma singakuqonda lokhu, singacela intethelelo futhi sibuyisane.
Ngesazi semfundiso yenkolo saseNdiya Richard Howell, isimiso esihlala njalo sokuhlukaniswa kwabantu eNdiya kusiholela ekuqinisekiseni ngamandla iqiniso lesintu esidalwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, ngokwesahluko sokuqala sikaGenesise. Alukho ubandlululo olungenzeka. Yilokhu abecabanga ngakho ngesikhathi evakashele eCape Coast.
Bafundi abathandekayo, njengoba siye sanxuswa ukuba silandise ngalokho esakubona kule ndawo embi kakhulu futhi saphinde sabhekana nakho e-Cape Cost Cathedral, ngilethe kini lesi senzakalo esibalulekile somhlangano wesine womhlaba wonke we-Christian Forum, nemicabango ayivusayo. .
