The news web site allAfrica.com is reporting that The Reverend Esther Abam Adjetey has been inducted as the clerk of the Ga Presbytery and the District Minister of the Kaajaano District.  She becomes the first woman to serve in these positions in the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.  Rev. Adjetey is a teacher by training but has been active in the church earning a Special Ministerial Training Certificate, serving on church boards and attending international conferences.  In her acceptance remarks she is quoted:

I know that behind the seemingly chaotic and indiscriminate events of
my life, a bigger story, a divine story is being written. The divine
author, I am convinced, misses nothing.

I have never found an official web site for the Presbyterian Church of Ghana with information on their polity and church structure, but the web site for the Association of Churches and Missions in South Western Germany has information on their partner churches including the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.  Based on that information it is interesting to know that individual churches are staffed by a catachist and a District Minister oversees up to 15 of these parish churches.  In PC(USA) terminology these would be churches staffed by a Commissioned Lay Pastor which are mentored and supervised by an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament.

Our congratulations to Rev. Adjetey and our prayers and best wishes for her new ministry.
