| The Former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong has proposed the creation of a regulatory body to supervise the activities of religious groups in the country.
This he said will help stem the mushrooming of churches and also prevent fake pastors from exploiting the weak and gullible citizens who seek spiritual help from these churches.
There are growing concerns over the immoral and flagrant abuses by persons professing to be religious leaders.
Many have expressed worry over ‘men of God’ whose prosperity messages seems to glorify the amassing of great wealth and activities that are ungodly.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s talk show dubbed ‘Torchlight’; Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong said “What is going on in our churches now is not good.”
“We can’t sit and watch this to happen. We need an independent body to regulate our church activities. This must be done immediately, the body must have rules and laws to guard the churches and its activities,” he told Mc-Jerry Osei Agyemang. |
