		<description>the world has understood D.R.Congo, according to what is being said through media, or through some people arriving in some  points in some cities in the DRC, but did not understand the country as a whole.

the world has know DRC through Mobutu ( former president) glasses, Lumumba; these period of wars,refugies...

but I believe that there are 2 kids of DRC:
one is read DRC, which is know by HIV, war, Conflict, lack of leadership, disorder of all kids,poverty,laziness,lies,
pride, ...

there is another DRC that is rising up, which I call green DRC, where by, people are trustworthy, deligent,wealthy,hardworking, very strong leadership, where churches are taking the lead again, restored.

this DRC, is not talked over the media, but people who see it, come in the ground and look at it themselves.

that is why before talking about something, it is better to understant very closely and try to be so balance without any feeling of biase.

Wait and you will see,

		<description>I think that this an important topic for discussion, particularly with respect to the D.R.C.  I myself am planning to visit the Kivu Provinces later in this year, to help with education projects associated with Heal Africa, in Goma, and other efforts in Bukavu.

I have been a film maker for twenty years, and have lived in Europe and the Etats-Unis, and have had the blessing of working with people in some 30 countries arouund the world on film projects.

I believe that it is the form of ecumenical understanding and diplomacy that has helped me find bridges between myself and my world.  My Catholic faith has also greatly laid foundations of compassion and social action.  Whilst I do all to well understand that many persons pervert the teachings of their faith to suit convenient, comfortable, and political ends, not all persons have done so.

And there are many examples of people who have made a quiet progressive form of God&#039;s presence known in the recent world; Father Charles de Foucauld and Father Henri Le Saux are two that come quickly to mind.  The whole topic of Liberation Theology touches on the power that the Church can have to bring about solidarity and social change for those who are downtrodden.  

To bait the question of a separation of church and state sounds like a wish for a non-religious but politicized African society, and I believe the statistical trends prove this not to be the case in the here-and-now, nor in any forseeable time to come.

Che Guevara came and went; and the people still suffer.  Power has the potential to corrupt.  And if one can arm the politicians and the political representatives with some moral and religious trainiing and develop within those who govern a sense of charity and compassion then there is a healthy role for the religious in a healthy society.

Charlatans can be found in any subsection of a society.  Along with proverbial opiates.  I think the topic is the church in the D.R.C. pass or fail, but how to establish healthy and critical ecumenical dialogues.  Certainly the Catholic Church has a great deal of independence from Kinshasa, but I personally know of many protestant churches with affiliations in the States that are doing amazing work in the D.R.C., and who are raising awareness of the current situation that exists there in the minds and the hearts of caring and giving Americans and Europeans.

In Peace.</description>

		<description>Thanks for these kind of talk, because it has been long time that peole are not being callenged with the real words.
however,am one of the pastors who are pastoring Charismatic churches(EL SHADDAI CHURCH). I stay in Uvira, south Kivu, in D.R.Congo.

My advise is just simple, when peolpe think or talk some thing, it si not good to think by analogy( just deciding in block,) this thinking is not based on the real research done. I know some good churches that are teaching real issues that are happening in our country and yet they are charismatic churches. exemple: My church, I completed from victroria University of canada, and we were tought to teach all the dimension of life, and that wha twe do.
I bukavu for example there other good churches.
But one thing that I can agree with you people is that many churches didnot teach, and do not teach.
but Politics has to go together with church, because if we have very bad leaders, even the decision making will be very bad ans imagine the outcome of ,even, the church.  
so it is good to encourge people to change some way of teaching. I think some do not do it not because they want but by ignorance, there for pastors should go for traingin before they work with power.

		<description>I do not understand at all this habit of attacking Christianity and forget the main responsibles persons and organizations.

If there is no electricity in your house, dare you accuse the baker who lives next to your door? Won&#039;t he say that he has met a fool?

For the moment, here are the people who thanks to mystical powers received from Lucifer are ruling the nations of the whole world: freemassons, rosicrusians, skull and bones, illuminatis, bilderbergers, members of Jason group, members of the council on foreign relations, club of Roma and you can name the rest.
Why, yes, I say why don&#039;t you ask them account on the move of the world they have been leading and managing  for millenaries?

Enough is enough and stpo foolish statements about Pastors ans churches. Of course, we will soon govern the world, but please wait until we are in power over countries and private organizations and you will be then entitled to put your questions to us.

Go and see the right people who have been ruling up to now and put them your questions and please keep quiet as far the Church of the Lord JESUS-CHRIST is concerned. We are slaves of GOD, not of men. We feed on the Holy Blood plus the Holy Flesh of our Lord JESUS-CHRIST and not at all on garbagges.
