At this time there is less coverage of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana<\/a> than the General Synod of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana.  It is currently meeting so maybe there will be more news later in the week when it concludes.<\/p>\n

One article from Ghana Web<\/a> focuses on the comments of the Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Yaw Frimpong-Manso in his Moderatorial sermon yesterday.  He encouraged the PCG churches “<\/span><\/span>to pray for peaceful, transparent, free and fair elections.”  He also commented on the political process saying <\/span><\/span>“As we work towards
\nElection 2008, let us pray for presidential and parliamentary
\ncandidates who seek office because they see themselves as a call to
\nserve God and his people and not themselves first.”<\/p>\n

I have noted previously<\/a> that the Rev. Frimpong-Manso is forthright and outspoken when commenting on the moral state of society.  According to this article he also addressed that in his sermon:
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rt. Rev.
\nFrimpong-Manso said Satan had re-packaged immorality, bribery and
\ncorruption, ethnicity, alcoholism, among others, “so that they are now
\ncalled weaknesses worth tolerating”. He appealed to Christians to be
\nwatchful and lead upright lives and said “today we encounter forces of
\ndivision and rancour, sexual promiscuity, murder and crimes as well as
\nforces of family breakdown and breakdown in cherished values of
\nsociety”.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


The Assembly also heard the call for churches to work for peaceful elections in a statement from Ghana’s President Kufuor that was read to the Commissioners, according to another story from Ghana Web<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition, Rev. Frimpong-Manso reported on the project to construct a new conference center and he reported on the church’s television ministry.  For both projects he appealed for the church’s continued financial support of these ministries.<\/p>\n

As the week goes on we will see if additional news stories give us more information about the Assembly.
