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.”<\/p>\n

The opening session included an address by <\/span>Professor
\nMike Ocquaye, Minister of Communications who is also an ordained
\nChristian minister (denomination not specified).  According to a
\nHome Page Ghana news article he <\/span>“condemned the acts of homosexualism and
\nlesbianism that were being introduced into the Church and were
\nconflicting with sound doctrines of the Holy Bible.” He also said <\/span>“…since Christian doctrine had never changed, the
\nChurch must not compromise but rather should be firm to uphold the true
\ngospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”<\/p>\n

Another speaker encouraged the church, in the interest of “going into
\nthe whole world” of encouraging “sports evangelism,” especially using
\nfootball (soccer for those who know a football as a pointy ball game)
\nbecause of the enhanced national pride and interest occasioned by the
\nsuccess of the Ghanaian team at this summer’s World Cup.<\/p>\n

It was also announced that two new campuses of the Presbyterian University College would be opening in the next two years.<\/p>\n

The GA continues through Wednesday
