RICHARDS BAY, SOUTH AFRICA – Can Archbishop Bhekibandla Vilakati emulate Jesus Christ by passing blessings through his shadow?


This is the question which rang in most of the archbishop’s followers during the cleansing ceremony which was held at Richards Bay, South Africa over the weekend.
The question came after the archbishop said instead of praying and cleansing the congregants in the Indian Ocean, he would just order them to form a queue and pass by them. He said as he passes by each and every one of them, they would receive blessings.


However, the archbishop could not do that because the church members demanded that they be cleansed in the ocean.
One of the church members told Vilakati that the members came all the way from Swaziland because they wanted to get into the water and be touched by his hand.
“Archbishop, even if you can ask another senior priest in the church to assist you, the church members will shun him because they want to be cleansed by you,” the church member said and his statement was followed by a loud round of applause, which was a sign that they concured with him.


Vilakati was left with no choice but to ask the church members to give each other time to be cleansed. He said the pushing and shoving delayed the ceremony.
It was agreed that he would cleanse priests and bashumayeli would follow. The church members were supposed to follow thereafter and children at the end. 
According to the Holy Bible, people who had faith in Jesus Christ received miracles by standing at his shadow or touching his clothes and they were healed.
