Passionate article. Question. Do you think, with apparently 80% of S.A. identifying as Christian (a number I don't really believe, but anyway) and the ACDP having such a tiny vote, that Christians in SA really see them as a sort-of representative for their views?

The evident lack of electoral support among Christians speaks to their professed faith not informing their vote over other voting priorities - keeping X party out (strategic vote), rewarding Y party (historical vote), etc. Its not a rejection of ACDP, rather it's wrong priority.

Fair enough. Although, I might argue that it's the "wrong" priority. I've actually voted for you guys several times (but for strategic reasons, ironically. Also I liked your economic policies.) It may also be that a lot of churches are uncomfortable with a political-faith mix.

Is that so different from those churches having what ACDP described as “a wrong priority”?

No not at all. I'm critiquing what the ACDP is calling a wrong priority. The last thing I, and I think many Christians in S.A. want, is a South African Republican situation.

Amidst the myriad of voting options that Christian voters see, our mission remains for Christians to see it as their duty to honour God and the Bible with their vote, to elect leaders of integrity so that our land and it's people can be healed.

Replying to @A_C_D_P @RyanPeterWrites and
Sure, there are those who may make a variety of comparisons with both US parties, & likely others like CDU, DUP, etc, & then draw all sorts of conclusions, which may impact their domestic vote to a greater or lesser extent. All SA parties then too.

Would it be fair if I rephrased that as, “Sure, our leader is on the record supporting the leaders of, say, US parties, justifying all sorts of conclusions that impact domestic voter behavior to a greater or lesser extent”?

Yes our leader is on record, but not as broadly as described here. It's the extent and impact of the justification, that, to a greater extent, is the concern for us. :)

Then your leader isn’t media-trained — and you’re making it as though the issue is how the public and media run with what your leader says when the platform becomes available. And then people don’t engage the substance of your policies. All the best with fixing that.

The lack of mindful and prayerful engagement with party policies, is the problem. And so fixing it is an ongoing process. And then a new flavour is introduced, and 'ooh look...
