The Anglican Church in Ghana, represented by the Anglican Diocese of Accra, mounted a stand at the recent International Tourism Exhibition held at the Accra Conference Centre to celebrate World Tourism Organization Day. The exhibition was put together by Faar Event Management on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism. On display at the Anglican Church of Ghana Stand were pictures telling the History and story of the Anglican Church in Ghana; Education, Health and other social activities.
Pictures that attracted attention most were the pictures of all the Past Bishops of the Diocese of Accra and the sitting Archbishop of Canterbury. A make shift altar was put up at the stand, adorned with all that go with the altar when ready for a communion service. A handful of books about Anglicanism were also on display in addition to hand-outs about the Church.
One question that visitors kept on asking when they visited the stand was, “Why a Church at a Tourism Exhibition?” After getting to know that Religious grounds and establishments were well known tourist attractions and that, tourists being human should be introduced to religious establishments when they visit countries for them to continue serving God even in travel, they agreed that other denominations should also start attending exhibitions.
