Spiritual leaders have been asked to keep off behaviour that could compromise their faith and mislead their congregation.
Speaking during a church service, pastor Alex Mungai of Christ Apostles Church appealed to Church leaders to lead by example if they hope to continue being respected in society and restore confidence among the faithful they lead.
He said that rogue Christian leaders had the potential of deviating Christians from their faith by straying from Biblical teachings and engaging in immoral behaviour while purporting to serve God.
He cited cases where some Church leaders engaging in wife snatching and adultery while condemning the behaviour. The clergyman took issues with colleagues who have been accused of engaging in politics saying the practice was equal to "mortgaging" followers.
“Spiritual leaders hiding in Churches while engaging in adultery must stop and re-examine themselves," he stressed.
He however said that leadership is God-given and anyone selected must serve his people in the right way while working closely with the clergy to serve the best interests of the society.
