An Investigation in the theological discourse from medieval period to this day has proven that separating the church and state in peoples' way of life is not only separating the heart and soul, but also removing the tissue from the bone hence leads to a futile exercise. It's in this sense that the church should not only be the light of the state during the darkness, but also eyes to the state during the blindness. In fact, the church cannot be separated from the politics because religion and politics interpenetrate each other in the issues of personal and social life. For according to Alan Geyer: "Isolating religion and politics from each other is to threaten both mental health and obstruct social justice; to fuse religion and politics indiscriminately is to threaten both integrity of faith and the freedom of politics." The question is therefore how far can the church involve herself in politics and how far can she search for peace, justice and reconciliation? We should not forget a word of wisdom from one of the famous guitarist by the name Jimi Hendrix who drives the point home that "It's only when the power of love will overcome the love of power that we will have peace."
