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
