Minister stated, when he delivered a sermon at a service to mark the \u201ctraditional and cultural\u201d celebration of the church in Sunyani, on the theme \u201cour culture, our value\u201d.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The Diocese organised the service to highlight the relevance of culture and tradition in contemporary society.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Rev. Bruce expressed worry that many of the younger generation and even some adults had relegated their culture and tradition to the background, unable to wear traditional cloth, perform traditional dances, and even prepare and eat the traditional food.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Rather, they have opted for and allowed the western culture to adulterate the nation\u2019s rich and diverse cultural and traditional values.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Rev. Dr Bruce inspired the youth to happily embrace their tradition and culture, stressing that \u201cevery society has its own cultural practices that benefit that particular society,\u201d and urged them to desist from copying foreign cultures blindly.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cThe Ghanaian culture is rich in heritage and has passed on from generations to generations,\u201d he stated and expressed worry that \u201cthe Western culture is slowly eroding our great traditions\u201d.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u202f\u201cIt is essential to preserve our cultural practices of traditional clothing, music, language and food to maintain our identity as Ghanaians\u201d, he advised, and urged Ghanaians to take pride in and uphold, defend and preserve the nation\u2019s culture and tradition, saying \u201cour culture is an integral part of who we are as a people\u201d.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u202fMr Kwadwo Agyei-Darko, a former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development and a former Member of Parliament for Sunyani West Constituency commended the diocese for the celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>GNA\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Regina Benneh Sunyani, Oct 28, GNA \u2013 The Reverend Dr Solomon Bruce, the Superintendent Minister and Synod Secretary of the Sunyani Methodist Diocese has called on parents to endeavour to teach and inspire their children to observe Ghanaian culture and traditional values.\u00a0\u00a0He emphasised that culture and tradition portrayed or reflected the identity of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":240916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-240915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
