According to the Council, the Lord has been good to Ghana for the past 59 years and thus it behoves Ghanaians to show appreciation to God and unite for peace and development.
“Ghana has had both good and bad moments as a nation. However, we must congratulate ourselves as a people, and come together to develop our country. At this point in our national life, we must burry whatever divides us and forge ahead as one people in pursuit of peace and sustainable growth” Rev. Dr. Opuni-Frimpong, General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, said this on behalf of the Council at a prayer session with staff of the Christian Council of Ghana in Accra last Friday to commemorate the Independence Day.
He said “every Ghanaian has a moral responsibility towards the peace and development of the country. As citizens of this country, we must be determined and committed to the peace and growth of this country. This should inspire us to contribute to national efforts towards sustainable development”.
Rev. Dr. Opuni-Frimpong also called on institutions responsible for sustaining the peace and development of this country not to act in a way that might create tension and violence.
“Our state institutions and their leaders must also be proactive, non-partisan and work in the supreme interest of the country. State institutions must not act in any manner that can trigger public distrust and tensions”, he added.
The Council emphasised that it will support the country to sustain peace and development, adding that churches must use available platforms to promote peace, unity and morality ahead of the November elections.
