Cheryllyn Dudley MP ACDP
2009 National Election
• ANC split/COPE formed
• ANC held their ground
• Opposition voters broke with tradition
• Electorate sent clear message - one opposition!
• Many ACDP voters voted: biggest opposition – for some it was DA others thought it would be COPE
• National & Local election reduced to:
• voting for or against ANC – issues not important!
ACDP - Two options:
• Prophetic Voice - ‘Saying what God says’ – votes secondary
• To be the Government – votes necessary!
Work of the Pastor
vs
Work of Government
• Must have both to keep the tension of justice in human society.
• both have authority from God - different authority for different functions
• one must have will of the people behind it
• other must have will of God
• one reveals standard of the people
• other reveals Gods standard
• one must represent/please people
• other must represent God alone
• both may seek to convince the people
Working for highest level of justice possible - upholding existing rights!
• Individual, women, workers, immigrants, nations, communities, parent’s, children, spouses, property, prisoners, victims, the poor, tribal, animal, protest, religious, sexual, free speech, work, live, reputation, to know and more...
• all present and defended in the scripture
Imperfect world...
no perfect solution!
We reveal God in
what we hold in
tension not in
Perfect findings...
Our goal is to:
• move towards God’s Values & Rightful Authority
• Restoring His thinking in our lives, families, communities
“Called into civil governance for the Glory of God & good of the people. Not to perfect the world or nation but to offer God’s perspective - a better way & to allow society a choice”. Landa Cope
