NOT WITHOUT POLITICS........

NOT WITHOUT POLITICS............
Is't because we PLAY POLITICS so Dirty in Nigeria the reason why everyone seem to see Politics as Anti-Christian? But I've seen people lobbying to be voted in as Station/Parish Council and PCC members in my home Catholic and Anglican Churches respectively. I've also seen people canvassing with their "Pretentious Righteousness" to be elected as Elders, Deacons and Deaconesses in our "New Generation" Churches in my new abode. To the best of my knowledge, wherever there are "LOBBYING", "CANVASSING" and "ELECTING", there exists "POLITICS". And the story of "Casting of lot" abounds in the Holy Bible, even in the replacing of Judas Iscariot.
Yeah, some people will like to introduce "Holy Spirit" to the Scene now. Of course, Holy Spirit should guide and lead us in ALL our everyday actions and utterances, including POLITICS. But because we go with Attitudes from Monday through Saturday that are completely different from our Sunday Attitudes, and the Holy Spirit not being INCONSISTENT in Character has decided to Exempt His Holy Self from most of our Actions and Utterances including Politics. That's why the Catholic Diocese of Ahiara is the News since the recent past.
But come oooh, if all that's in Church is "Holy Spirit" and NO "Politics", why all the "Black or White Smoke" and "Conclusive and Inconclusive Conclave"?? How're they arrived at, and what's used to "Untie" the Draw??? You and I know that there's NO WAY Holy Spirit can convey Two or more names for ONE "Holy See" Position.
So my dear "Umunnem", let's STOP deceiving Ourselves and call a Spade; "SPADE!".
If we really want to Play "POLITICS" devoured Rot, let's start this second to make HOLY SPIRIT part and parcel of ALL our Everyday Activities, Dealings, Transactions and Utterances. It's only then that we can be able to Elect a Bishop or even Ordain a Priest without "Politics" and "Rancour".
I know many will not like this, but "Okwuni ga n'ekwu uche ya, omeni emee ihe ri ya nma".
