Religious leaders in the country have admonished Ghanaians, particularly Christians, to eschew all forms of social vices.
The leaders said at a time when selfishness, dishonesty, indecency, bribery and corruption were seen as normal by the world, it was important for Christians to show the world the principles and virtues of their faith, as that was a very strong way of propagating the Gospel and bringing hope.
“We cannot wish to go and die again in order to save humanity; humanity has already been saved through the once-and-for-all death of Jesus Christ. But we can do many things for the betterment of our society,” the President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference, the Most Rev. Philip Naameh, one of the leaders who spoke to the Daily Graphic, said.
