Religious leaders in Tanzania are pushing for real peace, not just the quiet kind. Bishop Dikson Cholongani of the Anglican Church’s Central Diocese spoke during a Christmas service at Holy Spirit Anglican Cathedral in Dodoma. He argued that stability will not come from guns or government statements, but from genuine dialogue and moral leadership. He urged all officials to fear God and uphold justice. The bishop referenced citizen fear after incidents from October and December, but stated the situation has now stabilized.
Similarly, Pastor Silvester Kamara from Calvary Assemblies of God in Chamelo Nzuguni called for a national culture of justice to fuel development. Speaking at a service marking the holiday season, he said true faith requires practicing justice and rejecting the exploitation of power. He warned against using economic or authority positions to oppress others, stating such actions destroy social harmony. Both leaders emphasized that peace relies on personal accountability, fair treatment, and respect across the community.
