摘要

津巴布韦基督教各教派领袖发表牧函,建议将大选推迟七年。这些领导人认为,津巴布韦的政治瘫痪和经济衰退由来已久,需要加以解决。这些领导人呼吁在全国范围内对所有政治竞争进行安息日,以便重建信任和信心,重启政治,并在非竞争性的政治环境中共同制定出一条全面经济复苏之路。他们的观点受到了政治家和个人的批评,导致教会领导人撤回了呼吁。本文旨在分析教会领袖对安息日号召的神学解释。文章还质疑了教会领袖在本应大声疾呼引导政治领导人参加民主选举的问题上发出的预言性声音,因为民主选举充满了不信任、恐吓、绑架和操纵等争议。

analysis of the Zimbabwe heads of Christian denominations’ call for a Sabbath on elections
The Zimbabwe heads of Christian denominations issued a pastoral letter proposing to postpone the general elections for seven years. The leaders argued that Zimbabwe’s political paralysis and the economic decline have a long history and they needed to be addressed. The leaders called for a national Sabbath on all political contestation to allow for the rebuilding of trust, and confidence, reset politics, and chart a shared way forward toward a comprehensive economic recovery path in a non-competitive political environment. Their views were criticised by politicians and individuals resulting in the Church leaders withdrawing the call. This article was aimed at analysing the church leaders’ theological justification of the Sabbath call. It also challenged the leaders’ muting of their prophetic voices at a time when they were supposed to shout louder on issues that direct political leaders to democratic elections that are controversially marred with mistrust, intimidations, abductions, and rigging.
