Ubwino Wachidziwitso Chamtundu Wamitundu ndi Zipembedzo Pakukangana Kuyitanira ndi Kumanga Mtendere

M'mawa wabwino. Ndi mwayi waukulu kukhala nanu m'mawa uno. Ndikubweretserani moni. Ndine mbadwa ya ku New York. Chotero kwa awo okhala kunja kwa tauni, ndikulandirani ku mzinda wathu wa New York, New York. Ndi mzinda womwe ndi wabwino kwambiri adautcha kawiri. Tikuthokoza kwambiri Basil Ugorji ndi banja lake, mamembala a komiti, mamembala a bungwe la ICERM, aliyense amene atenga nawo mbali pamsonkhano omwe ali pano lero komanso omwe ali pa intaneti, ndikukupatsani moni wachisangalalo.

Ndine wokondwa, wotenthedwa komanso wokondwa kukhala wokamba nkhani woyamba pamsonkhano woyamba pamene tikufufuza mutuwo, Ubwino Wachidziwitso Chamtundu Wamtundu ndi Zipembedzo Pakukangana Kuyitanira ndi Kumanga Mtendere. Ndithu, ndi nkhani yofunika kwambiri pamtima wanga, ndipo ndikuyembekeza kwa inuyo. Monga momwe Basil ananenera, kwa zaka zinayi ndi theka zapitazo, ndinali ndi mwaŵi, ulemu, ndi chisangalalo cha kutumikira Purezidenti Barack Obama, pulezidenti woyamba wa ku America wa ku America wa United States. Ndikufuna kuthokoza iye ndi Mlembi Hillary Clinton chifukwa chondisankha, kundisankha, komanso kundithandiza kuti ndidutse pamisonkhano iwiri yotsimikiziridwa ya senate. Zinali zosangalatsa kukhala kumeneko ku Washington, ndi kupitiriza monga nthumwi, kulankhula padziko lonse lapansi. Pali zambiri zomwe zandichitikira. Ndinali ndi mayiko onse 199 monga gawo la mbiri yanga. Akazembe ambiri a omwe timawadziwa kuti Chiefs of Mission ali ndi dziko linalake, koma ine ndinali ndi dziko lonse lapansi. Kotero, zinali zokumana nazo kwambiri poyang'ana ndondomeko zakunja ndi chitetezo cha dziko kuchokera ku chikhulupiriro. Zinali zofunikira kwambiri kuti Purezidenti Obama anali ndi mtsogoleri wachipembedzo paudindowu, pomwe nditakhala patebulo, ndidakhala modutsa zikhalidwe zambiri zomwe zimatsogozedwa ndi chikhulupiriro. Izi zidapereka chidziwitso, komanso zidasintha malingaliro, ndikukhulupirira, pankhani ya ubale waukazembe ndi ukazembe padziko lonse lapansi. Panali atatu mwa ife omwe tinali atsogoleri achipembedzo mu utsogoleri, tonse tinasunthira kumapeto kwa chaka chatha. Kazembe Miguel Diaz anali kazembe ku The Holy See, ku Vatican. Kazembe Michael Battle anali Kazembe wa bungwe la African Union, ndipo ine ndinali kazembe wa International Religious Freedom. Kukhalapo kwa atsogoleri achipembedzo atatu pampando waukazembe kunali kopita patsogolo.

Monga mtsogoleri wachipembedzo wachikazi waku Africa-America, ndakhala patsogolo pa matchalitchi ndi akachisi ndi masunagoge, ndipo pa 9/11, ndinali kutsogolo monga wansembe wapolisi kuno ku New York City. Koma tsopano, popeza ndakhala m’boma monga kazembe, ndaona moyo ndi utsogoleri kuchokera m’njira zosiyanasiyana. Ndakhala ndi akulu akulu, Papa, achinyamata, atsogoleri a mabungwe omwe siaboma, atsogoleri achipembedzo, atsogoleri amakampani, atsogoleri aboma, kuyesera kupeza chogwirira pamutu womwe tikukamba lero, womwe msonkhano uno ukuwunika.

Pamene tidzizindikiritsa tokha, sitingathe kudzilekanitsa kapena kudzikana kuti ndife ndani, ndipo aliyense wa ife ali ndi chikhalidwe chozama - fuko. Tili ndi chikhulupiriro; ife tiri nazo zikhalidwe zachipembedzo mu umunthu wathu. Mayiko ambiri omwe ndidadziwonetsera pamaso pawo anali mayiko omwe mafuko ndi zipembedzo zinali mbali ya chikhalidwe chawo. Ndipo kotero, kunali kofunika kwambiri kuti timvetsetse kuti panali zigawo zambiri. Nditangobwera kumene ku Abuja ndisanachoke ku Nigeria, dziko lakwawo la Basil. Polankhula ndi mayiko osiyanasiyana, sichinali chinthu chimodzi chokha chomwe mudalowa kuti mukambirane, muyenera kuyang'ana zovuta za zikhalidwe ndi mafuko ndi mafuko omwe adabwerera zaka mazana angapo. Pafupifupi chipembedzo chilichonse ndipo pafupifupi dziko lililonse lili ndi mtundu wina wa kulandirira, madalitso, kudzipereka, christenings, kapena mautumiki a moyo watsopano pamene akulowa m'dziko. Pali miyambo yosiyanasiyana ya moyo ya magawo osiyanasiyana a chitukuko. Pali zinthu monga bar mitzvahs ndi bat mitzvahs ndi miyambo yodutsa ndi zitsimikiziro. Choncho, chipembedzo ndi fuko ndizofunika kwambiri pazochitika zaumunthu.

Atsogoleri azipembedzo za Ethno amakhala ofunikira pazokambirana chifukwa sikuti nthawi zonse amafunikira kukhala gawo la bungwe lovomerezeka. Ndipotu, atsogoleri ambiri achipembedzo, ochita zisudzo ndi oyankhulana angathe kudzilekanitsa ndi maulamuliro ena omwe ambiri a ife tiyenera kuthana nawo. Ndikhoza kukuuzani ngati m'busa, kupita ku dipatimenti ya boma ndi zigawo za bureaucracy; Ndinayenera kusintha maganizo anga. Ndinayenera kusintha maganizo anga chifukwa abusa a mpingo wa ku Africa-America kwenikweni ndi Mfumukazi ya Njuchi, kapena Mfumu Njuchi, kunena kwake titero. Mu dipatimenti ya boma, muyenera kumvetsetsa kuti akuluakulu ndi ndani, ndipo ine ndinali pakamwa pa Purezidenti wa United States ndi Mlembi wa boma, ndipo panali zigawo zambiri pakati. Kotero, polemba zokamba, ndimazitumiza ndipo zikanabweranso pambuyo 48 maso osiyanasiyana awona. Zingakhale zosiyana kwambiri ndi zomwe ndidatumiza poyambirira, koma ndiye dongosolo ndi dongosolo lomwe muyenera kugwirira ntchito. Atsogoleri azipembedzo omwe sali m'bungwe akhoza kukhala osintha chifukwa nthawi zambiri amakhala omasuka ku unyolo waulamuliro. Koma, kumbali ina, nthaŵi zina anthu amene ali atsogoleri achipembedzo amangotsekeredwa ku dziko lawo laling’ono, ndipo amakhala m’chivundikiro chawo chachipembedzo. Iwo ali m'masomphenya ang'onoang'ono a dera lawo, ndipo akaona anthu omwe sakuyenda monga, kulankhula ngati, kuchita monga, kuganiza monga iwo eni, nthawi zina pamakhala kusamvana komwe kumachitika mu myopia yawo. Choncho m’pofunika kuti tizitha kuona chithunzi chonse, chomwe ndi chimene tikuyang’ana masiku ano. Pamene ochita zisudzo achipembedzo avumbulidwa ku malingaliro adziko osiyanasiyana, iwo angakhaledi mbali ya kusakanizana kwa mkhalapakati ndi kumanga mtendere. Ndinali ndi mwayi wokhala patebulo pamene Mlembi Clinton adapanga zomwe zimatchedwa The Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society. Atsogoleri ambiri achipembedzo, atsogoleri amitundu, ndi atsogoleri a mabungwe omwe siaboma adaitanidwa kudzacheza ndi boma. Unali mwayi wokambirana pakati pathu womwe unatipatsa mwayi wonena zomwe timakhulupirira. Ndikukhulupirira kuti pali makiyi angapo a njira zachipembedzo za ethno-religious kuti athetse mikangano ndi kukhazikitsa mtendere.

Monga ndanenera poyamba paja, atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi atsogoleri a mafuko ayenera kukhala ndi moyo mokwanira. Sangakhale m'dziko lawo komanso m'malo awo ang'onoang'ono, koma ayenera kukhala omasuka ku zomwe anthu angapereke. Kuno ku New York City, tili ndi zilankhulo zosiyanasiyana 106 ndi mafuko 108. Chifukwa chake, muyenera kukhala okhoza kuwonekera kudziko lonse lapansi. Sindikuganiza kuti sizinali ngozi kuti ndinabadwira ku New York, mzinda wamitundu yosiyanasiyana padziko lapansi. M’nyumba yanga imene ndinkakhala m’bwalo la masewera la Yankee, limene ankalitcha dera la Morrisania, munali zipinda zokwana 17 ndipo pansi panga panali mafuko 14. Choncho tinakula tinkamvetsa bwino chikhalidwe cha wina ndi mnzake. Tinakulira monga mabwenzi; sizinali "Ndinu Myuda ndipo ndinu Caribbean American, ndipo ndinu African," m'malo mwake tinakula monga mabwenzi ndi anansi. Tinayamba kubwera palimodzi ndikutha kuwona mawonekedwe a dziko. Chifukwa cha mphatso zawo zomaliza maphunziro, ana anga akupita ku Philippines ndi ku Hong Kong kotero kuti ndi nzika za dziko lapansi. Ndikuganiza kuti atsogoleri achipembedzo ayenera kuonetsetsa kuti ndi nzika za dziko lapansi osati dziko lawo chabe. Mukakhala kuti ndinu osadziwika bwino ndipo simunawululidwe, izi ndizomwe zimatsogolera kuchipembedzo chonyanyira chifukwa mukuganiza kuti aliyense amaganiza ngati inu ndipo ngati satero, ndiye kuti zasokonekera. Zikakhala zosiyana, ngati simukuganiza ngati dziko, mwasokonekera. Kotero ndikuganiza kuti tiyenera kuyang'ana chithunzi chonse. Limodzi mwa mapemphero amene ndimayenda nawo paulendo wa pandege pafupifupi mlungu uliwonse linali lochokera m’Chipangano Chakale, lomwe ndi malemba Achiyuda chifukwa Akhristu ndi Akhristu enieni achiyuda. Linachokera m’Chipangano Chakale lotchedwa “Pemphero la Yabezi.” Likupezeka pa 1 Mbiri 4:10 ndipo Baibulo lina limati: “Ambuye, onjezerani mwayi wanga kuti ndikhudze miyoyo yambiri chifukwa cha inu, osati kuti ndilandire ulemerero, koma kuti mulandire ulemerero wochuluka. Zinali za kuwonjezera mwayi wanga, kukulitsa malingaliro anga, kunditengera malo omwe sindinakhalepo, kuti ndimvetsetse ndikumvetsetsa omwe sangakhale ngati ine. Ndinazipeza kukhala zothandiza kwambiri pa tebulo laukazembe ndi m'moyo wanga.

Chachiwiri chimene chiyenera kuchitika n’chakuti maboma ayesetse kubweretsa atsogoleri amitundu ndi azipembedzo. Panali Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society, koma panalinso mayanjano aboma ndi mabungwe omwe adabweretsedwa ku dipatimenti ya boma, chifukwa chimodzi chomwe ndaphunzira ndichakuti mukuyenera kukhala ndi ndalama zolimbikitsira masomphenyawo. Pokhapokha ngati tili ndi zothandizira, ndiye kuti sitifika kulikonse. Masiku ano, zinali zolimba mtima kuti Basil agwirizane izi koma zimatengera ndalama kuti akhale m'dera la United Nations ndikuyika misonkhanoyi pamodzi. Chifukwa chake kupangidwa kwa mayanjano apakati pagulu ndi wamba ndikofunikira, kenako chachiwiri, kukhala ndi ma roundtable otsogolera okhulupirira. Atsogoleri achipembedzo sakhala ansembe okha, komanso omwe ali m'magulu achipembedzo, aliyense amene amadziwonetsa ngati gulu lachipembedzo. Zimakhudzanso miyambo itatu ya Abrahamu, komanso akatswiri a sayansi ndi Baha'is ndi zikhulupiriro zina zomwe zimadziwika kuti ndi chikhulupiriro. Choncho tiyenera kumvetsera ndi kukambirana.

Basil, ndikukuthokozani kwambiri chifukwa cholimba mtima kutibweretsera limodzi m'mawa uno, ndizolimba mtima komanso ndizofunikira kwambiri.

Tiyeni timugwire dzanja.

(Mawomba)

Ndipo kwa gulu lanu, omwe adathandizira kugwirizanitsa izi.

Chifukwa chake ndikukhulupirira kuti atsogoleri onse azipembedzo ndi mafuko atha kuwonetsetsa kuti awululidwa. Ndipo boma silimangowona momwe iwowo amaonera, komanso magulu achipembedzo sangangowona malingaliro awo, koma atsogoleri onsewo ayenera kubwera palimodzi. Nthawi zambiri, atsogoleri azipembedzo ndi mafuko amakayikira maboma chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti atsagana ndi zipani motero ndikofunikira kuti aliyense azikhala patebulo limodzi.

Chachitatu chomwe chiyenera kuchitika ndi chakuti atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi amitundu ayenera kuyesetsa kuti agwirizane ndi mitundu ina ndi zipembedzo zomwe si zawo. Pasanafike pa 9/11, ndinali m'busa kumunsi kwa Manhattan komwe ndikupita pambuyo pa msonkhano uno lero. Ndinkachita ubusa kutchalitchi chakale kwambiri cha Baptist ku New York City, chomwe chinkatchedwa Mariners Temple. Ndinali m’busa woyamba wamkazi m’mbiri ya zaka 200 za mipingo ya American Baptist. Ndipo kotero izo nthawi yomweyo zinandipangitsa ine kukhala gawo la chimene iwo amachitcha “mipingo ikuluikulu ya nsanja,” kunena kwake titero. Mpingo wanga unali waukulu, tinakula mofulumira. Zinandilola kuyanjana ndi azibusa monga ku Trinity Church pa Wall Street ndi Marble Collegiate church. Malemu mbusa wa Marble Collegiate anali Arthur Caliandro. Ndipo panthawiyo, ana ambiri anali kuzimiririka kapena kuphedwa ku New York. Iye adayitana abusa akulu-akulu amiyala pamodzi. Tinali gulu la azibusa ndi maimamu ndi arabi. Zinakhudza arabi a Temple Emmanuel, ndi maimamu a mizikiti ku New York City. Ndipo tinabwera pamodzi ndi kupanga chomwe chimatchedwa Partnership of Faith of New York City. Chotero, pamene 9/11 inachitika tinali kale ogwirizana, ndipo sitinafunikire kuyesa kumvetsetsa zipembedzo zosiyanasiyana, tinali kale amodzi. Sizinali chabe kukhala patebulo ndi kudyera limodzi chakudya cham’mawa, zomwe ndi zimene tinkachita mwezi uliwonse. Koma zinali zokhuza dala kuti timvetsetse zikhalidwe za wina ndi mzake. Tinkachitira limodzi misonkhano, tinkasinthana maguwa. Msikiti ukhoza kukhala mu kachisi kapena mzikiti ukhoza kukhala m'tchalitchi, ndi mosemphanitsa. Tidagawana mkungudza pa nthawi ya Paskha ndi zochitika zonse kuti timvetsetse bwino. Sitikanakonza phwando ikafika Ramadan. Tinkamvetsa komanso kulemekezana komanso kuphunzira kwa wina ndi mnzake. Tinkalemekeza nthawi ya kusala kudya kwa chipembedzo chinachake, kapena pamene inali masiku opatulika kwa Ayuda, kapena pamene inali Khirisimasi, kapena Isitala, kapena nyengo iliyonse imene inali yofunika kwa ife. Tinayamba kudumphadumpha kwenikweni. Mgwirizano wa chikhulupiliro wa mzinda wa New York ukupitirizabe kuyenda bwino ndikukhala amoyo kotero kuti abusa atsopano ndi maimamu atsopano ndi arabi atsopano akubwera mumzindawu, ali kale ndi gulu lolandirirana la zipembedzo zosiyanasiyana. Ndikofunika kwambiri kuti tisamangokhalira kunja kwa dziko lathu, koma kuti tiziyanjana ndi ena kuti tiphunzire.

Ndiroleni ndikuuzeni komwe mtima wanga weniweni uli -sintchito zachipembedzo komanso zamitundu, komanso ziyenera kuphatikizika pakati pa amuna ndi akazi. Azimayi sakhalapo pamisonkhano yopangira zisankho komanso akazembe, koma amakhalapo pothetsa kusamvana. Chokumana nacho champhamvu kwa ine chinali kupita ku Liberia, West Africa ndikukhala ndi akazi amene abweretsa mtendere ku Liberia. Awiri a iwo adakhala opambana Mphotho ya Mtendere wa Nobel. Iwo anabweretsa mtendere ku Liberia panthaŵi imene kunali nkhondo yoopsa pakati pa Asilamu ndi Akristu, ndipo amuna anali kuphana. Azimayiwo atavala zoyera amati sakubwera kunyumba ndipo sakuchita kalikonse mpaka patakhala mtendere. Iwo anagwirizana pamodzi monga Asilamu ndi akazi achikhristu. Anapanga unyolo wa anthu mpaka kukafika ku Nyumba ya Malamulo, ndipo anakhala pakati pa msewu. Amayi omwe adakumana pamsika adati timagulira limodzi ndiye tiyenera kubweretsa mtendere. Zinali zosintha ku Liberia.

Choncho amayi ayenera kukhala nawo pa zokambirana za kuthetsa kusamvana ndi kukhazikitsa mtendere. Azimayi amene akugwira nawo ntchito zolimbikitsa mtendere ndi kuthetsa mikangano amapeza thandizo ku mabungwe achipembedzo ndi mafuko padziko lonse. Azimayi amakonda kulimbana ndi kumanga ubale, ndipo amatha kufika pamizere yamavuto mosavuta. Ndikofunikira kwambiri kuti tikhale ndi akazi patebulo, chifukwa ngakhale iwo salipo pa tebulo lopanga zisankho, amayi achikhulupiliro ali kale patsogolo pa ntchito yomanga mtendere osati ku Liberia kokha koma padziko lonse lapansi. Chifukwa chake tiyenera kusuntha mawu am'mbuyomu kuti tigwire ntchito, ndikupeza njira yoti amayi aziphatikizidwa, kumvera, kupatsidwa mphamvu zogwirira ntchito mtendere mdera lathu. Ngakhale kuti amakhudzidwa mopanda malire ndi mikangano, amayi akhala akuthandizira m'maganizo ndi muuzimu m'madera pamene akuzunzidwa. Iwo asonkhanitsa madera athu kuti azikhala mwamtendere komanso akhazikitse mikangano ndipo adapeza njira zothandizira anthu ammudzi kuti asiye chiwawa. Mukayang'ana, amayi akuyimira 50% ya anthu, kotero ngati simuwapatula amayi pazokambiranazi, tikunyalanyaza zosowa za theka la anthu onse.

Ndikufuna ndikuyamikireninso chitsanzo china. Imatchedwa Sustained Dialogue approach. Ndinachita mwayi masabata angapo apitawo kukhala ndi woyambitsa wa chitsanzo chimenecho, mwamuna wotchedwa Harold Saunders. Iwo amakhala ku Washington DC Chitsanzochi chakhala chikugwiritsidwa ntchito pothetsa kusamvana kwachipembedzo m'makoleji 45. Amabweretsa atsogoleri pamodzi kuti abweretse mtendere kuyambira kusekondale kupita ku koleji kupita kwa akulu. Zomwe zimachitika ndi njira iyi zimaphatikizapo kukopa adani kuti azilankhulana wina ndi mnzake ndikuwapatsa mpata wolankhula. Zimawapatsa mwayi wokalipira ndi kukuwa ngati akufunikira chifukwa pamapeto pake amatopa ndi kukuwa ndi kukuwa, ndipo ayenera kutchula vutolo. Anthu ayenera kutchula zomwe akwiyira nazo. Nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta za mbiri yakale ndipo zakhala zikuchitika kwa zaka ndi zaka. Panthawi ina izi ziyenera kutha, ayenera kutsegula ndikuyamba kugawana osati zomwe akwiyira nazo, koma zomwe zingatheke ngati tidutsa mkwiyowu. Ayenera kubwera ku mgwirizano wina. Chifukwa chake, njira ya The Sustained Dialogue yolembedwa ndi Harold Saunders ndichinthu chomwe ndikukuyamikirani.

Ndakhazikitsanso zomwe zimatchedwa pro-voice movement for women. M'dziko langa, komwe ndinali kazembe, chinali gulu losamala kwambiri. Nthawi zonse mumayenera kuzindikira ngati ndinu wokonda moyo kapena wosankha. Chinthu changa ndichakuti akadali ochepera kwambiri. Izi zinali njira ziwiri zochepetsera, ndipo zidachokera kwa amuna nthawi zambiri. ProVoice ndi gulu ku New York lomwe likubweretsa azimayi akuda ndi aku Latino pamodzi koyamba patebulo limodzi.

Tinakhala limodzi, tinakulira limodzi, koma sitinakhalepo patebulo limodzi. Pro-voice imatanthauza kuti mawu aliwonse ndi ofunika. Mkazi aliyense ali ndi liwu m'bwalo lililonse la moyo wake, osati dongosolo lathu lobala, koma timakhala ndi liwu muzonse zomwe timachita. M’mapaketi anu, msonkhano woyamba udzakhala Lachitatu lotsatira, October 8^th kuno ku New York ku nyumba yaofesi ya Harlem State. Ndiye amene ali pano, chonde mverani olandiridwa kuti mukhale nafe. Wolemekezeka Gayle Brewer, yemwe ndi pulezidenti wa chigawo cha Manhattan, adzakambirana nafe. Tikukamba za amayi kupambana, osati kukhala kumbuyo kwa basi, kapena kumbuyo kwa chipinda. Chifukwa chake onse a ProVoice Movement ndi Sustained Dialogue amayang'ana pamavuto omwe amayambitsa mavuto, sikuti ndi njira chabe, koma ndi malingaliro ndi machitidwe. Kodi tikupita patsogolo bwanji limodzi? Chifukwa chake tikuyembekeza kukulitsa, kugwirizanitsa, ndi kuchulukitsa mawu a amayi kudzera mugulu la ProVoice. Ilinso pa intaneti. Tili ndi tsamba, provoicemovement.com.

Koma zimatengera ubale. Tikupanga maubale. Maubwenzi ndi ofunikira pa zokambirana ndi kuyimira pakati, ndipo pamapeto pake mtendere. Mtendere ukapambana, aliyense amapambana.

Ndiye zomwe tikuyang'ana ndi mafunso otsatirawa: Kodi timagwirizana bwanji? Kodi timalankhulana bwanji? Kodi timapeza bwanji mgwirizano? Kodi timapanga bwanji coalition? Chimodzi mwa zinthu zimene ndinaphunzira m’boma n’chakuti palibenso bungwe lililonse limene lingathe kuchita zimenezi palokha. Choyamba, mulibe mphamvu, kachiwiri, mulibe ndalama, ndipo potsiriza, pali mphamvu zambiri pamene mukuchita pamodzi. Mutha kupita mtunda wowonjezera kapena ziwiri limodzi. Sichifuna kumanga ubale wokha, komanso kumvetsera. Ndikukhulupirira kuti ngati pali luso lililonse lomwe akazi ali nalo, ndikumvetsera, ndife omvera kwambiri. Izi ndizochitika zapadziko lonse lapansi za 21^st zaka zana. Ku New York tikuyang'ana kwambiri pa Akuda ndi Latinas kubwera pamodzi. Ku Washington, tiwona omasuka ndi okonda kusonkhana pamodzi. Maguluwa ndi amayi omwe akukonzekera kusintha. Kusintha sikungalephereke tikamamvetserana wina ndi mzake ndi kumvetserana mozikidwa pa maubwenzi.

Ndikufunanso kuyamikira kuwerenga ndi mapulogalamu ena kwa inu. Bukhu loyamba lomwe ndikuyamikani kwa inu limatchedwa Mapangano Atatu ndi Brian Arthur Brown. Ndi bukhu lochindikala lalikulu. Zikuwoneka ngati zomwe tinkatcha kuti encyclopedia. Lili ndi Korani, lili ndi Chipangano Chatsopano, lili ndi Chipangano Chakale. Ndi mapangano atatu pamodzi akuwunika zipembedzo zitatu zazikulu za Abrahamu, ndikuyang'ana malo omwe tingapeze kufanana ndi kufanana. Mu paketi yanu muli khadi la bukhu langa latsopano lotchedwa Kukhala Mkazi Wakutsogolo. Mapepalawa amatuluka mawa. Itha kukhala yogulitsa kwambiri ngati mupita pa intaneti ndikuipeza! Zachokera pa Deborah wa m'Baibulo kuchokera m'malembo a Chiyuda ndi Chikhristu m'buku la Oweruza. Anali mkazi wa tsogolo. Iye anali wa nkhope zambiri, iye anali woweruza, iye anali mneneri wamkazi, ndipo iye anali mkazi. Zimayang'ana momwe adayendetsera moyo wake kuti nawonso abweretse mtendere mdera lawo. Buku lachitatu lomwe ndikufuna kukupatsani limatchedwa Chipembedzo, Mikangano ndi Kumanga Mtendere, ndipo ikupezeka kudzera ku USAID. Imakamba za zomwe tsikuli likuwunika lero. Ndikadakuyamikani izi kwa inu. Kwa iwo omwe ali ndi chidwi ndi amayi ndi zomanga zamtendere zachipembedzo; pali bukhu lotchedwa Azimayi Olimbikitsa Mtendere Wachipembedzo. Izi zimachitika ndi Berkely Center molumikizana ndi United States Institute of Peace. Ndipo yomaliza ndi pulogalamu ya High School yotchedwa Operation Understanding. Zimabweretsa pamodzi ophunzira aku sekondale achiyuda ndi aku Africa-America. Iwo amakhala mozungulira gome limodzi. Amayenda limodzi. Iwo anapita ku Deep South, iwo anapita ku Midwest, ndipo iwo anapita Kumpoto. Amapita kutsidya kwa nyanja kukamvetsetsana zikhalidwe. Mkate Wachiyuda ukhoza kukhala chinthu chimodzi ndipo Mkate Wakuda ukhoza kukhala chimanga, koma kodi timapeza bwanji malo oti tizikhala ndi kuphunzira limodzi? Ndipo ophunzira a High School awa akusintha zomwe tikuyesera kuchita pankhani yokhazikitsa mtendere ndi kuthetsa mikangano. Iwo anakhala kwa nthawi ndithu mu Isiraeli. Adzapitirizabe kukhala m’dziko lino. Chifukwa chake ndikuyamika mapulogalamu awa kwa inu.

Ndikukhulupirira kuti tiyenera kumvera zomwe anthu omwe ali pansi akunena. Kodi anthu okhala muzochitika zenizeni akunena chiyani? M’maulendo anga akunja, ndinayesetsa mwakhama kuti ndimve zimene anthu a m’madera akumidzi akunena. Ndi chinthu chimodzi kukhala ndi atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi mafuko, koma omwe ali pansi atha kuyamba kugawana nawo zabwino zomwe akuchita. Nthawi zina zinthu zimagwira ntchito mwadongosolo, koma nthawi zambiri zimagwira ntchito chifukwa zimakhazikika pazokha. Chifukwa chake ndaphunzira kuti sitingalowe ndi malingaliro omwe adakhazikitsidwa kale omwe adayikidwa pamwala pazomwe gulu liyenera kukwaniritsa pankhani yamtendere kapena kuthetsa mikangano. Ndi ntchito yogwirizana yomwe imachitika pakapita nthawi. Sitingafulumire chifukwa zinthu sizinafike pamlingo wovuta m'kanthawi kochepa. Monga ndanenera, nthawi zina ndi zigawo ndi zovuta zomwe zakhala zikuchitika kwa zaka zambiri, ndipo nthawi zina, zaka mazana ambiri. Choncho tiyenera kukhala okonzeka kukokera mmbuyo zigawo, monga zigawo za anyezi. Zomwe tiyenera kumvetsetsa ndikuti kusintha kwanthawi yayitali sikuchitika nthawi yomweyo. Maboma okha sangathe kuchita izo. Koma ife m’chipinda chino, atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi mafuko amene ali odzipereka pa ntchitoyi akhoza kuchita. Ndikhulupirira kuti tonse timapambana mtendere ukapambana. Ndikukhulupirira kuti tikufuna kupitiriza kugwira ntchito yabwino chifukwa ntchito yabwino imalandira zotsatira zabwino pakapita nthawi. Kodi sizingakhale bwino ngati atolankhani alemba zochitika ngati izi, ponena za zochitika zomwe anthu akuyesa kupereka mwayi wamtendere? Pali nyimbo yomwe imati "Padziko lapansi pakhale mtendere ndipo uyambe ndi ine." Ndikhulupilira lero kuti tayamba ntchitoyi, ndi kupezeka kwanu, ndi utsogoleri wanu, kutibweretsa tonse pamodzi. Ndikukhulupirira kuti tayikadi mphako pa lamba kuti tiyandikire mtendere. Ndizosangalatsa kukhala ndi inu, kugawana nanu, ndingakhale wokondwa kuyankha mafunso aliwonse.

Zikomo kwambiri chifukwa cha mwayiwu kukhala wotsogolera wanu woyamba pamsonkhano wanu woyamba.

Zikomo kwambiri.
