Navrongo-Bolgatanga, 17 May, 2021 / 6:47 pm (ACI Africa).
At the climax celebration to mark the Silver Jubilee of Our Lady Queen of Africa (OLA) Bolgatanga Parish of Ghana’s Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese, the Local Ordinary has called for the daily practice of Christian faith if societal ills have to be defeated.
In his Sunday, May 16 report obtained by ACI Africa, Bishop Alfred Agyenta says, “Being a true Christian does not exempt us from challenges but there is the need to stand firm to defeat the ills in society including bribery and corruption, which have caused serious losses to the state.”
Ghana, Bishop Agyenta says, is “going through difficult times ranging from the Coronavirus pandemic to the economy among others.”
Amid these challenges, the Ghanaian Catholic Bishop says, people are questioning the contribution of those who profess the Christian faith who happen to form “the majority of the population especially in government.”
“As a Church, I believe that we are also facing challenges in terms of the number of Christians we have in this country, about 71 percent, but we are continuously challenged in terms of credibility as believers or Christians,” Bishop Agyenta notes in his May 16 report.
