Despite the fact that more than 90% of Ghanaians identify as religious, President John Dramani Mahama has addressed worries about the country’s rampant crime and immorality.
The situation could be much worse without the church, he claimed, emphasizing its vital role in enforcing moral principles and directing society.
There is a common claim that, despite the fact that over 90% of Ghanaians identify as religious, crime and immorality are increasing.
I respond to those who make that claim by saying that, in most cases, things would have been worse had there been no church.
“Because consider that there was no church and people could do whatever they wanted. The situation would have been worse. And so the churches are doing their best,” President Mahama told the clergy in Kumasi on Sunday.
Additionally, he emphasized the necessity of Christian denominations being united, cautioning that split diminishes the church’s power.
“The significance of promoting unity among Christian denominations must be emphasized.
The impact of a divided church is diminished. However, a unified church has the power to change society.
He exhorted, “Let us collaborate to create a thriving and powerful Christian community that speaks with one voice on matters of national development.”
