The Right Reverend Professor Emmanuel Martey, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), has urged the church to provide the needed leadership to stop the growing ethnocentrism in the society.
\nHe said it was disturbing that the problem was even affecting the Church to the extent that some Christians think certain key positions should be the preserve of certain groups of people.
\nAddressing the opening session of the National Ministers\u2019 Conference of the PCG in Kumasi on Tuesday, Rt. Rev Prof Martey said the Bible frowns on discrimination in all its forms.
\nHe said the Church should therefore work hard to purge society of such unhelpful attitude and other negative practices, which were at variance with Christian values.
\nThe five-day conference being hosted by the Asante Presbytery of the Church is on the theme: \u201cThe Church in the Power of the Holy Spirit\u201d.
\nThe Moderator denounced what he described as \u2018dirty politics\u2019 by some Presbyterians in the run-up to his election, and said, \u201cI have forgiven all my detractors and accusers in the name of the almighty God.\u201d
\nHe advised the ministers to live above reproach and submit themselves to the unadulterated word of God and apostolic teachings to spread the gospel.
\nRev Dr Fred Deegbe, General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, lauded the PCG for positively influencing society through the provision of development projects in areas of health, education and agriculture.
\nHe asked the ministers to use the conference to take stock of their activities with the view to making remedies where they fell short in the performance of their duties.
\nThere were fraternal messages from the Catholic Church and other denominations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
