The Right Reverend Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has expressed worry about the upsurge of immorality in society despite the proliferation of churches.He said it was disturbing that as the churches grew, the rate of crime kept increasing.
The Moderator was speaking at the 120th Anniversary celebration of the Bompata Presbyterian Church in the Asante-Akim South District.The Rt Rev Dr Frimpong-Manso condemned the activities of self-seeking "Men of God" whose focus, he said, was to make money and had pushed the salvation of the people to the periphery."The craze of the people for miracles has offered a unique opportunity for the self professed pastors and prophets to enrich themselves in the name of Christianity," he stated.According to him, it was sad that greed and selfishness are taking firm root in the church with little or no respect for common humanity."The greatest barrier to progress, growth and development of a church or nation is disunity and absence of love," the Moderator said.Rev Kwaku Twum Barimah, the District Minister, praised the congregation for their tenacity and dedication that had contributed to the growth of the church.Mr De-Graft Fokuo, the District Chief Executive, congratulated the church on the anniversary and asked that they continue to uphold the "Presbyterian discipline" that had distinguished the church from the others.Source: GNA
