The Greater Accra East Head of the Assemblies of God Church Ghana, Rev Dr Joseph Baisie has blamed the growing rate of divorce cases in the country on the adoption of “Western Marriage” to the neglect of Traditional Marriage.
Speaking at the Church’s Greater Accra East District Men’s ministries Convention in Accra, Rev Dr Baisie said until Christian leaders and families return to the traditional values and norms for marriage, high divorce cases will not be addressed any time soon.
Rev Dr Baisie, who was the guest speaker at the convention also took the opportunity to sensitize men on the need to take up their responsibilities as men in the house and not only in church.
