"At a time when several African governments are considering a [Chinese Communist Party-style] approach to religious management—one faith, one umbrella, one government-approved voice—Tanzania’s judiciary has drawn a clear constitutional line. It has reminded the state that religious bodies must arise from believers, not from bureaucratic convenience. It has reminded officials that neutrality and impartiality are not optional virtues but constitutional obligations. And it has reminded the continent that freedom of religion includes the freedom to choose one’s denomination, one’s leaders, and one’s institutional affiliations without state interference."
