By SCHEAFFER OKORE More by this AuthorIf there is a group that’s been consistent about its own agenda during this pandemic period, it has to be faith leaders. We’ve seen faith leaders endorse corrupt leadership as they receive huge bundles of money in the name of donations and offer cleansing without the demand for justice. We’ve seen faith leaders go tone-deaf on rape, gender-based violence, femicide, police brutality and sexual reproductive health rights. We’ve seen faith leaders abandon religious autonomy because it reduces their popularity among the ruling elite and instead seek to tame and silence the congregation. Faith leaders have treated religion as a buffet; picking and choosing parts that suit them and neglecting those that don’t.
