Very Rev’d Dr. Emmanuel I. K Addo, Dean of the Cathedral Church of the Most Holy, Accra has advised clergymen never to condemn the churches they belong to nor condemn their fellow Priests. He said in doing that they shoot themselves in the foot and people refuse to come to the church because they have destroyed it .Preaching the sermon at the ordination of Priests on Saturday 30th January at St. Bartholomew Anglican Church, Teshie he observed that God has blessed every person with a gift and we must use the gifts and Gods gifts around us to serve God and mankind. Dean Addo informed the new Priests that, their families, church members, Christians and even non Christians expect a lot from them and advised them that to perform creditably they should be always ready to learn. He said, in the ministry, they will meet difficult people, and difficult situations that can derail them, but they should not fear for the Lord is with them and will lead them on.
In an exhortation to the new Priests, Most Rev’d Dr. Justice O. Akrofi, Archbishop of the Church of the Province of West Africa and Bishop of Accra asked them to lead the people and help them to be saved, as they work hard to bring the lost into the fold. Archbishop Akrofi observed that the duty of a Priest is hard and can not be done with their strength alone. They should therefore pray for God’s help and encouragement.
The two Priests ordained were Rev’d Fr. Sam Wood and Rev’d Fr. Eric Kwaku Agba.
