Africa: Muckraker - If Only Our Clergy Could Tell It Like It is

Gono, who seems to have gone through a "Damascus" experience after his quasi-fiscal activities backfired and rendered the nation currencyless, has been dishing out advice to a belligerent Kasukuwere. Gono issued a statement on the 14-day ultimatum issued to Barclays and Standard Chartered:

"Tendencies towards firing harmful verbal economic-gunpowder must be minimised by all stakeholders in the interest of the economy and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe board forewarns people playing with economic gunpowder to leave the game to those well-trained in its use and safe custody, lest the unintended will happen, to everyone's future regret."

Gono goes on to warn that "dishing out threats to sensitive institutions that are custodians of people's hard earned savings" smacks of "irrational exuberance during these times of necessary soberness".

"There are ways of achieving the same objectives as intended by the law through non-confrontational means," says Gono.

Kasukuwere responded by saying: "We cannot run a nation based on profane language. Let's respect the laws of the land and not personalise issues. All we are asking is for these companies to comply with the law. The banks were given two weeks to show cause why the minister should not direct that their licences be revoked. Individual views should remain so, but the law of the land should remain supreme."

Where is the profanity minister Kasukuwere? Surely a warning on the consequences of your trigger-happy approach is in order and Gono is well placed to comment on this.

"The Act will be implemented without fear or favour," adds Kasukuwere.

"We will not be deterred from implementing the laws of the land and those foreign banks whose parentage in any case continues to attack and affect our people with illegal sanctions cannot be defended by any logical Zimbabwean. These companies must basically follow the law."

We are confused here! Is this drive about companies following the law or about getting back at the West for the "illegal" sanctions?

Memory Eternal! Archbishop Dmitri | Saint Barbara Orthodox Church ...

Orthodox Christians were deeply saddened to hear of the falling asleep in the Lord on Sunday, August 28, at 2:00 am, of His Eminence, The Most Reverend DMITRI, retired Archbishop of the Diocese of the South, Orthodox Church in America.  The Archbishop was eighty-seven years old.  Ordained in 1954, then consecrated to the episcopacy in 1969, his ecclesial ministry spanned fifty-seven remarkable years. The main funeral service for the Archbishop will be celebrated at St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral in Dallas on Wednesday evening (August 31) at 6:30, with a Divine Liturgy and burial service on Thursday morning (September 1) at 9:30. Additional services throughout the week will be conducted as well at 6:30 in the evenings, Monday and Tuesday, and at 10 am on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Cathedral is located at 4208 Wycliff, one block off of Oaklawn Avenue.

His Eminence was born Robert R. Royster on November 2, 1923, into a Baptist family in the town of Teague, Texas. He often credited his mother for providing him and his sister with a strong, initial faith in Christ.  After discovering Orthodoxy as teens they asked their mother for a blessing to convert, whereupon she asked one basic yet predictive question:  “Does the Orthodox Church believe in Christ as Lord and Savior?” As it turned out, a specific emphasis on the person and work of Jesus Christ became the hallmark of the future hierarch’s ministry, profoundly influencing his preaching and writing. Additionally the Archbishop would later recall that an Orthodox clergyman and mentor advised him early on in his priesthood to include always the name of Christ in every conversation; to make Him the focus of every sermon.

Having received their desired blessing, and after a period of inquiry and study, brother and sister were received together as Orthodox Christians at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas, Texas in 1941. It was at that point that the two received the names of Dmitri and Dimitra.
