Quotation
I would like to invite you, this Easter, to look back through all of the rituals you have participated in - form Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday - and ask yourself: Did they have a positive impact in your Christian faith? My experience in Africa has taught me how people can conspire to destroy the powerful messages embodied in singing and dancing rituals, and replace them with less powerful rituals.

Quotation
For people whose faith is shaken and disturbed by some church scandals, we need to speedily address their concerns, and the concerns of the church, and the entire society. But what is important, we need to help and correct the false identification of the Christian faith with a specific church leader.
