President Nana Akufo-Addo has today, Thursday, 18th August 2022, delivered an address at the opening of the 12th Biennial and 50th Golden Conference of the Methodist Church of Ghana.
Addressing the gathering, His Excellence Nana Akufo-Addo stated that the “commemoration of fifty (50) years of independence from the British Church is obviously a worthwhile celebration, especially as it acknowledges that the influence and growth of the Church has increased exponentially, and enabled Ghanaian Methodism to make its own distinctive contribution to the worldwide Methodist movement”.
He added that the contribution of the “Methodist Church to education, healthcare, social welfare and the financial development of Ghana continues to merit the unalloyed gratitude of the Ghanaian people”.
“The collaboration of the State and Church, in mutual respect and in the promotion of religious liberty, in both colonial and post-colonial times, has been an essential feature of Ghanaian governance, which has inured very much to the benefit of the Ghanaian people,” he added.
