THE EDITOR, Sir:

Though I do not agree that Christians have no right to get involved in politics, I do agree that he has overstepped his pastoral boundaries into politics and continues to do so.

I make reference to his letter of July 20, 2007, and note where Pastor Miller states several points, some of which I agree with. But I am commenting particularly on the statements "Tek weh yuself" and "not changing course".

My advice to Pastor Miller is, as Christians, 'mek we tek weh weself' from this whole political arena and place more emphasis on the Church and where we want to reach.

I do agree that there is cause for concern in our politics, but we must agree also, that the Church has some work of its own to do in order to reach where we need to be. As my granny would say: "Pick the beam out your eye before you find it in someone else."

I urge you to change your course from politics and place greater emphasis on the Church.

Using your own analogy: "If we think and speak the language of violence and doom and gloom, we will likely believe it and end up in yet another cycle that takes us nowhere."

Let us, therefore, pray for peace in the upcoming election and a change in our nation, as this will help to change many things in both our political parties.

I am, etc.,

COREEN DANIELS
