Rawlings To Form Church?

The former President of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings, has hinted of his intentions to form his own church to help him propagate his ideals and other virtues he's espoused over the years.

Rawlings made his intentions known at Winneba in the Central Region when he was given the opportunity to speak to mourners at the burial service of the late Armstrong Charles Acquah, a well-known contractor who was a founding member of the NDC.

In line with his desire, the Senior Bishop's Deputy who has the power to ordain priests in the Zion Church conferred on the former president the title, "Pastor" leaving Rawlings the option of deciding when to begin his pastoral duties.

Rawlings, who celebraed the silver jubilee of his marriage to his wife, Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings Tuesday January 29, confirmed to radio stations in Accra that he intends to continue to espouse what he believes in and although he might not necessarily have to form a church to do it, the idea of forming a church is there. "May be someday, I will establish my church, " the former President said with some amount of seriousness before Rev. Dr. Zormelo moved to pronounce him, "pastor"
