"The majority of the inhabitants of Lesotho are Christians, but our way of living is far from Christian. It is essential for the Church to maintain a certain contact with the rulers, even at the expense of being perceived as supporters of the ruling party. Such contacts enable religious leaders to voice the concern of the voiceless. On the other hand, there is a danger that our Christians fail to play their role in the socio-political field and always look up the Bishops to point the way."
