The Christian Council of Ghana Secretariat has declared that it has taken note of a recent statement titled “Strengthening Spiritual Partnership for National Direction and Healing” that was released by the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations.
As per the Council, they have officially contacted the Presidency and asked for a meeting to be scheduled for next week in order to further discuss and clarify the matter. The August 11 press release includes this information.
“While awaiting this engagement, the Christian Council wishes to reaffirm its unwavering support for all national and inclusive efforts aimed at advancing ecumenical and interfaith collaboration in the interest of national unity, peace, and security. In a nation where religion is misused to incite fear and panic, the risk of social instability and disorder grows significantly,” part of the statement signed by the General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Cyril Fayose reads.
“It is essential that we allow for proper dialogue and consultation with the Presidency to provide clarity and direction on this matter. In the interim, the Council urges all citizens to approach national issues—whether religious, political, or socioeconomic—with objectivity, unity, and a spirit of sober reflection. Our shared commitment to peace and harmony must guide our discourse and actions,” the Council noted.
Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, has countered that the requirement that religious leaders submit delicate predictions involving the country and its highest officials for evaluation prior to public release is a custom rooted in the Bible.
