The Head Pastor of the Mount Zion Society of Dawhenya- Afienya Circuit of the Methodist Church in Ghana, Rev Ing. Emmanuel Hammond, has said that the church should partly be blamed for the leadership crisis or mishaps being seen across the country.
He said, with the church contributing to over 80 percent of leaders in various positions, there’s a need for the church to also ensure individuals who filled up various portfolios are indeed devoted Christians with proper doctrines.
He said this during a health walk organized by the church to mark their 10th anniversary in Afienya.
The Ghanaian church has recently come under a barrage of criticisms for producing half-baked leaders who have been embroiled in all manner of scandals. However, Rev Ing Emmanuel said, though the church must partly take responsibility for the current leadership crisis, the public must also probe further to ascertain if these individuals are indeed Christians with proper doctrines
The health walk which saw dozens of church members and members from other denominations, walk from Afienya to Michel Camp amidst drumming and singing, was part of activities to mark the church’s 10years anniversary. Members took the opportunity to also interact with members of the public on the need to accept Christ. The health walk was climaxed with aerobic exercise.
