We Won’t allow our Churches to Observe President Edgar Lungu’s First Annual Memorial-EFZ
“Following consultations by EFZ leadership and recent engagement with the organizers of the proposed nationwide memorial activities, we wish to reaffirm the Fellowship’s position that no EFZ structures,
affilliates,provincial fellowships, or member churches should organize,
endorse, faciitate, or participate in such memorial events at this
stage.”
“Our position is guided by the conviction that it is both moraly
and premature to hold nationwide memorial
inappropriate
observances before the burial of the deceased has taken place.”
“We have communicated this position clearly and respectfuly to the
parties concerned.”
“EFZ further takes exception to any event being presented os being
organized, sponsored, or “powered by the Church” or “the Body of
Christ” without broad consultation, consensus, and authorization from
recognized church mother bodies.”
“Such representations are potentially misleading and do not reflect the
collective position of the Church.”
“Accordingly, all EFZ affiliates and church leaders are requested to
refrain from associating themselves with such initiatives and to
communicate this guidance within their respective networks.”
