Nelson Mandela Dead at 95: His Religion Christian Faith Was the Bedrock of His Extrao

[Crabtownboy]

Mandela was a Christian!

Mandela has been a Methodist Christian and has consistently proclaimed his commitment to Christ as his Lord throughout his adult life. His fight against racial inequality as well as leadership in reconciling the white South Africans, Afrikaners, with the black South Africans have reflected the ideals of Christian principles of justice, forgiveness and reconciliation, forming the bedrock for his political and social motivations. In his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, Mandela tells the story of his early engagement with Christianity. "The Church was as concerned with this world as the next: I saw that virtually all of the achievements of Africans seemed to have come about through the missionary work of the Church." As a result, Mandela became a member of the Students Christian Association and taught Bible classes on Sundays in nearby villages. - See more at: http://www.gospelherald.com/article...s-extraordinary-life.htm#sthash.2ntDefxm.dpuf

I think we've got more than enough Mandela threads going.

That may be right. I did not check carefully ... only saw the other one I responded to and thought it should be shown that Mandela was a Christian and that surely is shown in how he treated others when he was a prisoner and when he had power.

Would that more politicians had his belief and put them into practice.
