Sixth General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana
The 6th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana convened yesterday in Accra. The theme of the Assembly is "Go Therefore and Make Disciples of All Nations."
The opening session included an address by Professor Mike Ocquaye, Minister of Communications who is also an ordained Christian minister (denomination not specified). According to a Home Page Ghana news article he "condemned the acts of homosexualism and lesbianism that were being introduced into the Church and were conflicting with sound doctrines of the Holy Bible." He also said "...since Christian doctrine had never changed, the Church must not compromise but rather should be firm to uphold the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Another speaker encouraged the church, in the interest of "going into the whole world" of encouraging "sports evangelism," especially using football (soccer for those who know a football as a pointy ball game) because of the enhanced national pride and interest occasioned by the success of the Ghanaian team at this summer's World Cup.
It was also announced that two new campuses of the Presbyterian University College would be opening in the next two years.
The GA continues through Wednesday
