It was an interesting morning on radio today as the Maina & King’ang’i breakfast show once again took on what has become a very controversial topic thanks to the now all famous Mavuno Church after they put up what was termed as an offensive poster to announce a youth service.
Today Mavuno Church pastor, Pastor Mureithi alias pastor M and Kanji went live to explain the reasons as to why they decided on this particular poster. It was a heated debate as the public called to express their dissappointment as others sort to show support for the course Mavuno Church has taken.
Truth is it seems like sex talks are okay as long as it is out of church. I totally get where Mavuno Church was coming from when they decided to go this far with their advertising. As much as we choose not to talk about it, sex is real and it is there even in the said churches. Young boys and girls are busy engaging in sex hardly before they hit puberty, and if parents have chosen not to take charge in their children’s lives, the church is just but trying to bridge the gap and do what everyone else seems to have failed to do.
In his part Pastor Mureithi apologized for anyone who may have been offended by the poster and explained that he had the best interest at heart. Mureithi said,
“The Church has become hotel for saints instead of a hospital for sinners”
Think of what has been happening lately in our churches and then put yourself in the shoes of someone whose calling is to make a positive change in society. What would you do?
