Church worship now more emotional than
spiritual-Presbyter
Ho, July 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Simon N.K.
Tette, National President of the Presbyters Union of the
Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church, Ghana, has expressed
worry about a steady drift from spiritual to emotional
worship in most Churches.
"We only sing, drum and dance with much noise-making and
make ourselves good, consumed with appearances, fun and
fashion," he said.
Mr Tette was addressing the 13th Annual delegates'
conference of the Association at the Breman Village at
Akoepe near Ho.
He said for many worshippers, the sermons were secondary
matter, which made little impact on their Christian life.
Mr Tette said the Church must maintain its uniqueness as an
institution of education that transforms the minds and lives
of the human being into truth and righteousness.
He called on presbyters of the various churches to brace up
for a crusade to "transform the minds and lives of members".
Mr Tette said presbyters should not limit their scope of
influence within the church, but they must expand it to
matters of the state, including governance, the environment,
education and culture.
"We shall also be held accountable for failure to tell the
truth and insist on the manifestation of the truth and
righteousness within those areas," he stated.
A total of 90 delegates from nine presbyteries of the Church
attended the conference, which discussed the churches
financial situation.
