Mahama is following the prescriptions of the OIC who are more dangerous than the IMF. You remember AMA banning churches in classrooms, Northern Regional Minister accusing the Christian clergy of encouraging politicians to be corrupt. These are all plans aimed at suppressing Christianity to please the OIC.
OIC means Organization of Islamic Countries. They have member nations across the globe and Prez Mahama is seriously working hard to send Ghana to OIC's Observer Status so that he can get some funding to buy votes in the Zongos and other Muslim communities since such funds are only allowed to be spent in such places. One of the conditions needed to qualify to the OIC Observer Status is to scrap Christian mission schools. Ghanaians must be careful since a similar thing happened in Nigeria under the military regime of Gen Babangida and it brought a lot of chaos in that country and collapsed their secondary school education. Ghanaian Catholic Bishops should please contact Bishop Jatau of Kaduna State of Nigeria he has anti-dotes to some of these things.

"We tend to equate the notion of FUNDAMENTALISM automatically to the Muslim religion. Its extreme is found in BOKO-HARAM in Nigeria; AL-QAEDA & ISIL in the Middle East, etc. It is a touch unfortunate and most dangerous to our national cohesion that here in Ghana FUNDAMENTALISM in its most extreme manifestation is found in CHRISTIANITY"

This show you don't know Islam, and that you're just Christian by name. There's no extremism in Christianity.

Anyway, the Catholic Bishops clearly stated they weren't obliging Muslims to Catholic rituals, but that they maintain the rules and regulations of their institutions as the had ever been.

I went to Presbyterian Primary, Presbyterian Secondary School and Catholic Training Colleges. Muslims, most of whom were my friends were never obliged to bend to Christians rules. They shouldn't start now.

One hypocritical behavior I see in the world is to refuse that Muslims are using freedom of speech to displace every "pole and bridge" to accommodate their bully.

I think the Catholic Bishop Conference is reacting to the politics in the matter. Gov't instruction was more to score political points than to work towards a solution. That's NDC for you.

Brobbey is imputing extremism to Christianity and this is not only a very fallacious argument. It shows he doesn't know his own religion, Christianity. To wit, there is absolutely NO fundamentalism in Christianity. So where did he get this idea from, "FUNDAMENTALISM in its most extreme manifestation is found in CHRISTIANITY."

Talking about world hypocrisy on Islam I really do know what I am talking about. I can stress the fact that, a religion which is very hermetically and stubbornly closed on itself tries on the other hand to use freedoms and liberties in a twist to force its way around on others. This is unacceptable.

Everything that units us as a peaceful nation is under attack by the USELESS NDC PARTY. Before they divide Ghana and leave us in shreds VOTE THE USELESS NDC PARTY OUT IN 2016.
We have lived peacefully without any TRIBAL OR RELIGIOUS POLITICS before the USELESS NDC PARTY WAS FORMED and their manifesto signed with blood. We don't need any division in Ghana. WE ARE INTER-MARRIED, AND WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. NDC IS DANGEROUS, VOTE THEM OUT IN 2016.

Muslims always quote Ghana's Constitution to buttress their fight for freedom of worship but they forget that the same constitution also stipulates that education shall be free and compulsory for all children at school going age. Now all Kayayes are teenagers at school going age who work under the most dehumanizing conditions and it will interest Ghanaians to know that all Kayayes are Muslims from the north. Why are Muslims not putting pressure on Prez Mahama,a northerner, to bundle all of them into the classroom up north, since education is free up over there, instead of fighting for a freedom which does not exist.

@ re-islam is peace. What is happening in Northern Nigeria despite the fact that their constitution says "freedom of religion?" Churches are being pulled down on the excuse that they do not have permits from council authorities. Apply for permits to build a Church they will deny Christians the permits. They say it is another form of Jihad. Even then mosques are built at any place without permits. Why can't muslims be tolerant where they are in the majority? I doubt if there is any suppression of muslims because of what I stated above. Ghana is a tolerant society and people should not polarize us. Attending assemblies in the morning is not conversion to Christianity. How many muslims have been converted since 1960s. Why this issue now. It is a sign of Islamic Jihadist infiltration in Ghana, nothing else.

I have read Charlie Brob's article slowly, and assimilated all he has said. I cannot say same about the comments it generated. However from the captions , it is clear that there are varied thoughts , from the extreme to the accommodating. In my considered opinion, he has tossed the ball squarely into the domain of we Christians. It really is time to practice what we preach,_--tolerance love for all and respect for others. It is crucial that we don't descend to fundamentalism as others have done to their religions.Ghanaians have lived in relative peace in spite of our myriad economic issues. This is not the time to add another dimension to our contentious issues. For those who have not lived through strife based on religion and tribal issues, hitting the war drums comes easy.Let's us stop with the brinkmanship we are displaying before it is too late. I agree with C. Bobby on this one. Shalom

Thanks for your comments on the Mills episode. It is unfortunate that Ghana, a country that led Africa in the restoration of political and cultural self-determination should have been brought to that low point by Mills' hysterical, almost immature Christian fundamentalism - aka National day of prayer, TB Joshua etc.

Its one thing to allow some reasonable religious/cultural expression in the public space. Its another thing to turn it into charismatic fanaticism.

Ghana is ultimately a secular state; regardless of the Christian majority. The simply solution to this problem is to divorce Christian prayer/rituals from the compulsory daily activities. period.

Chale,
Your views are absolutely nonsensical. In the most tolerant of countries, Canada, where I lived for 12 years, catholic schools are for only catholics, even protestants are not allowed in. You have to prove that you are catholic before you are admitted. Catholic schools score higher in SATs than non- Catholic schools so people (including 3 of my Ghanaian muslim friends) lie by obtaining fictitious documents from Ghana) to get their kids into those schools.

Each school has the right to follow their principles, if you dont like it, you can attend a school of your taste, that is my take on it

However, I think you are wrong here:

"In 1961, Kumasi was one of the only four (4) Catholic Dioceses in Ghana, the others being Cape Coast, Accra & Tamale."

There were two dioceses in the Volta Region: Keta and Ho and they were both more than two decades old in 1961.

As for Bishop Sarpong's influence, all I can say is that you are entitled to your opinion.

The Keta Roman Catholic Church came into being in 1850 and it is boldly inscribed at the entrance to the Church. Happily and luckily, the sea has not destroyed that Church and is there for anyone who cares to pay a visit. Then the Bremen Mission came in 1851.

You and your stupid parents are the empty drums here making noise to be heard. You may say whatever you wish about Ewes but as at 1850, Keta was a major trading point along the coast with brick houses.

Dear Sir, thank you for your writ. But just because you wrote beautifully and claimed to be a Mass server at one time in your life does not make you a Christian. A Christian (one who believes in the only one God) is the one who worships no other God but he only one true God who Jesus Christ helped us to know Him well and to appreciate Him and to obedient to His teachings. Mr. Wereko, please read carefully Exodus 20: 1-6. Just because Dr. Sarpong said we should pour libation to our "gods" do not make those his gods the God who created those entities who has made themselves gods. When one is pouring libation, just listen to what it is said in those 'prayers'. By the words we use in those libation pouring we make deity out of those gods. But remember the one who created you Mr. Brobby said do not bow or worship or make any deity out any those created beings. Just because Satan is also able to do some miracles does not make him God. So also just because the Catholic Pope is recognized over the world and embraces other religious leaders does not make him a true representative of the only wise and infallible God. Thank you Sir.

Gold Coast Colony existed before Gold Coast and Keta, Denu, Aflao, Sogakope, Dzodze, Adidome were all in the Gold Coast Colony since 1860. Northern Ghana was not, Ashanti Region was not and some areas of present-day Western and Eastern regions were also not in the Colony until after the Yaa Asantewa War when the Ashanti Kingdom was forcefully brought under British rule to also become part of the larger colony to be known as Gold Coast.

CORNEY and Voodoo xebieso, both of you failed to seize this opportunity to educate Joe Canada and other minded people like him on this site. He needed history of the Volta region not insults. Maybe he is ignorant of the fact that the Volta Region existed way before the formation of Ghana. Give the man some good history and stop the insults. Thanks!!

Volta region is part of Ghana, no doubt about it. But as history students we can't write off the history of Gold Coast.

The Volta region was formed by the state union of the former British Togoland which was part of the German protectorate of Togoland. It was administered as part of the Gold Coast by the British as Trans Volta Togoland.

On 9 May 1956, a vote was conducted to decide the future disposition of British Togoland and French Togoland. The native and dominant ethnic group, the Ewe people, were divided between the two Togos. 58% of British Togoland inhabitants voted in favor of state union, and the Togo Ewe state was incorporated into Akanland (South Ghana) and Dagbon (North Ghana) by a state union.[5]

There was vocal opposition to the incorporation of Togoland into modern Ghana, from the Ewe people who voted (42%) against in British Togoland, as the Ewe wanted the unification of the Ewe people in British Togoland and French Togoland as a separate Ewe state (modern Togo).

That is the history. Am rewriting directly from wikipedia.org site

Every ethnic group in gold coast or ghana has a history which tell us our origin but not to say some are more ghanaians that others

Dr. Brobby is absolutely right about christian fundamentalism in Ghana promoting religious intolerance and suppressing individual freedoms. It is wrong to force students to worship as christians. The Catholic Bishops should respect the basic human rights of atheists and students of other faiths attending mission schools. How can you change the world if your are turning students of other faiths away from your mission schools? Rethink!

During the ministry of Jesus, he never forced anyone to follow him. He demonstrated the authenticity of his ministry by unparalleled diverse miracles and so many were convinced that he is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. Before he went to heaven, he instructed his disciples to proclaim his kingdom to the whole world and make disciples (Matthew 28: 18-20). He fully acknowledges that some will believe and some won't. For e.g. these are his instructions to his disciples when he sent them on a preaching assignment in Matthew 10: And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, (Q) greet it. 13 And if the house is (R) worthy, let (S) your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let (T) your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, (U) shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Again when he met the Samaritan woman (John 4), he didn't force her to follow her but after demonstrating his omniscience, the woman became convinced and went to proclaim what she has encountered.

Even from the beginning, the omnipotent God did not force Adam to obey him, but gave him a choice and clearly outlined the consequences of any disobedience. What God said did come to pass and is with us to this day whether we believe it or not.
My point is that, we should stick to what Jesus did and we will live in peace with each other. Yes, we must spread the gospel, but we must not use force, both direct/indirectly to cause people to follow Christ. The politicians and the Bishops must "let sleeping dogs lie" The meaning of this idiom is that, Do not instigate trouble. Leave something alone if it might cause trouble. Every child imbibes, the culture (including religion) and the moral principles of his parents. Most of us are simply following the religions of our parents. We get more understanding through different encounters as we grow up and change our minds accordingly. Let us as Ghanaians continue to live peaceably with each other irrespective of religion and ethnicity in all areas of our national life, including our schools. The Catholic and other mission schools must feel honoured that parents from diverse religions acknowledge the high academic excellence and discipline in their schools and bring their children there. They must accommodate them as they have been doing all this while to maintain the peace, with the full understanding that, some may believe and some won’t.

" Here was GOD's own appointed Primus on Earth, successor to St. Peter, upon whose rock He built his Imperial Church,..."
This a perverted interpretation of Matthew 16:18 "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (NKJV).
Peter in Greek is "Petros" and rock in Greek is "petra". The statement is based on what Peter said in verse 16, "Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Christ Himself is the Rock being referenced here. Jesus said He will build His church upon the confession that He is the Son of the living God, and not on Peter.

What a pity! This man, Brobby, who confesses to being a lapsed Catholic here says he admires Papa Franco's attitude of religious tolerance! Just few questions or remarks: what went bad you're lapsed, adultery and faithfulness? What have you to show you have been formed well by attending Catholic schools and being Mad server? You were only an admirer, not a Catholic, drama member and not a professed one. In conclusion, no discerning person reading your piece will fail to note that you have personal issues with the Catholic Church and this is the opportunity to vent your pain out. My advice to you is that, work hard to save your soul! If it's because of Papa Franco you're coming back, this is not a good reason. I thought you would have said you now understand the Catholic doctrine, principles, spirituality, morals and disciple. Stay out of this issue for you are not competent, be a true Catholic before, Tarzan.

Unharnessed freedom is dangerous! Tenants have rights, landlords have their rights setting up rules for tenants living in their properties that are humane. To live in that house, tenants should voluntarily or involuntarily obey the rules for co-existence.
How many Muslim children are welcomed in their very own homes if they have converted from Islam? Be frank, which religion uses force as a way of converting people? Why are people afraid to hit the nail on the top?
The Christian worship these agitators of segregation have come against starts with: "Our Father who art in heaven..." The Muslim prayer starts with same: "Bismila rahman rahim.. " In all, both are praying to God the Creator of the universe! Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, is their prophet, so why are these agitators kicking against the followers of their Prophet, knowing too well that it is the same Jesus Christ who is coming to judge the world at the end of time? People are following blind leaders. The Holy Bible truly says: "My people perish for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6. Those who can lay hands on the Quran can read Sura 3:1; 3:78-79; 4:161, 166, 169; 5:5.
Children also have freedom, parents should stop taken them to the mosques, churches, shrines, temples, etc.

Christianity is a religion above dogma's and personal revelations only doctored by one man (Mohammed). I was really surprised by your perverted and skewed interpretation given to the words of Jesus as expressed in the gospel of luke .Therefore , I took time to read carefully through it once again, This was a parable of talents , and I guess u may not understand what a parable is until u look it up in a dictionary .. So in this , Jesus didn't declare a Jihad on moslems , neither did he slay people in the name of God. Nevertheless, where in scripture have u ever heard of Jesus slaughtering anyone , even for unbelief ?, the quran is rich with slaughters from Mohammed's trip from Medina to Mecca , his use of the sword in propagation of Islam is ripe and well known..

Good job. Care must be taken. Non-moslem religious leaders have a big responsibility to stand very firm on their stance to save their religions especially Christianity from coercion. What has happened to SDA church properties that got burnt by Moslems in Atebubu? Nothing said about it. In contrast a demonstration by a small number of students in western region becomes topical to the extent that it formed part of the president's address. The government, by its reactions, can be seen as supportive of Islam agenda. "Asem reba a na frankaa si so." Government should not use this Islamic persuasion to promote political agenda. It's a shame in trying to silence Christians and their institutions. Why did Alhaji Grusa send his sons to OWASS but not AMASS? The earlier the government left this issue to some peace-promoting agencies to deal with it, the better it will be for the nation.

My family has been Catholics since the first missionaries and my dream of attending a Catholic school was only limited to 6 years in a basic school.

Ask your father that stupid question. Jesus came more than 500 years before Mohammed was born. All this nonsense about came about because if the house of Isaac has a religious following, then the house of Ismael should also have hence Mohammed came with his satanic verses i.e. the Koran. He copied largely the Old Testament and added the figments of his own imagination to complete it.

And to the Christians, it was Isaac Abraham was to sacrifice while the Moslems hold it was Ismael. Which one are we to take?

Insightful!

Pregnant with practical counsel for Ghana and (Christians; Catholics in particular), counsel we all can ill afford to ignore.

READ: "...It is the height of supreme irony that as the Global Village learns to accommodate and become tolerable of Religious diversity and the freedom to worship "GOD" in His many manifestations, Ghana, hailed as a haven of Religious Tolerance in Africa, is in the grips of high degree of the Intolerance Christian Fundamentalism..."

OUR COMMENT: Public policy and administrators are directly responsible to the deterioration of the situation. They have neglected to follow the Constitution. So, the result becomes....

THIS: "...The absurdity of Christian Oppression and Intolerance reached its apogee when the late President Prof. J. E. A Mills banned the pouring if libation at his swearing –in ceremony. Very soon, the ban spread to all public events under his Presidency...LIBATION, continues to be barred from public events..."

WE SAY: It was a bit troubling to allow/select/elect a person to be Head of Government who was (1)from all indications weak in the purpose and teaching of Law, (2) was intolerant with his bizarre emphasis on the teaching or Religious and Morale in public schools under the secular Constitution, and (3) wanted most to preach, even while the President.

This show you don't know Islam, and that you're just Christian by name. There's no extremism in Christianity.

Anyway, the Catholic Bishops clearly stated they weren't obliging Muslims to Catholic rituals, but that they maintain the rules and regulations of their institutions as the had ever been.

I went to Presbyterian Primary, Presbyterian Secondary School and Catholic Training Colleges. Muslims, most of whom were my friends were never obliged to bend to Christians rules. They shouldn't start now.

One hypocritical behavior I see in the world is to refuse that Muslims are using freedom of speech to displace every "pole and bridge" to accommodate their bully.

Hypocrites like wreko bobey is the reason why Ghana is not moving Forward, one step Forward 2 steps back
in his own thinknig Religion must promote peace and development, as you put it the Triumph of good OVER EVIL:

WHAT I WANT TO ASK HIM IS THIS- DOES Boko Haram promote good over evil?
security is and must be the priority of every Country, so if a particular Religion is promoting evil over good that Group of People must be defeated by the structures that has been put in place to deal with it.

The Mission Schools are taking lessons from what is happen around the world by this same People of boko Haram mentality, so if the missions think that everybody in their premises must obey their rules and regulations, to guarantee the safty of their core missions it must be aplauded. so who so ever think that their rules and regulations are threats to their faith they must leave the area for their own good , does it mean they are curtaining freedom of worship? what type of barbaric thinking is this ? if the muslim have no evil Agender against christianity what make this so defficult to obey?

besides can Kwaku Bonsam go to muslim School and force his traditional believe on them?

why is it that the Country authorities are mute over what the muslims are doing against those who dont share the same faith with them in their Schools but now have a voice to speak when the Mission Schools want to reciprocate their own Actions?

since we christians understand perfectly that if i cant bear it i must quit for peace, why cant muslims also quit if they cant bear it?

Asuming most of our Schools in the Country are islamic cant they tolerate their own Actions in other Religion?

peace Comes with justice, and it is simple if they are not ready to obey the rules of the missions Schools , they should in the first place dont try to go there, or if they are there already let them quit to where they pratice their faith.

even all the missionaries are calling on the government to return their Schools to the missions, and i think that this issue had suported that calling . let the missions operate their own Schools to those who share their Faith.
The stupidity, corruption, and hypocracy in this government is Setting the Country on a timebomb

Christians were minding their own business and when Mahama & ministers issued threats they had to respond to assure their head teachers. Christians needs to be firm lest their rights be trampled on.

As for many Christians who are supporting Muslms rights in Christian schools, it is because they are so engrossed with ignorance that they don’t know the past. Dr Jane Smith of the Harvard University has clearly shown in a dissertation that even the term Islam did not originally mean submission.Also in ‘The Spiritual Background Islam’, a renown Middle East scholar Dr M. Bravmann also reveals that the term ‘Islam’ did not originally mean Mohammed’s religion or that of any Jewish partriachal religion as claimed by Muslims. According to Dr. Bravmann, the word ‘Islam’ was a secular concept denoting a sublime virtue in the eyes of the primitive Arab; defiance of death, heroism, to die in battle, etc’. The term denoted bravery in battle. It did not mean ‘peace’ or ‘submission’. Marshal Hodgson reminds us that the English word ‘assassin’ is purely of arabic origin. It was originally ‘Hash shashin’( or assassinus in Latin) meaning ‘smokers of harshish’. It referred to the pratice by Muslims in the 11th-13th who took hashish(hemp) to receive enough energy to fight for Allah.

Chaiii!!! Wonderful piece Dr. Very objective and modern. The constitution of Ghana is the supreme religion that provides freedom of association and religion in Ghana. If the Bishops can't respect this at a time the pope himself is preaching tolerance and unity in diversity, then the Bishops shd rather look for another country to live in.

These bishops have forgotten that the majority of the teaching staff are paid by government and government have also provided a lot of infrastructure to these schools. To say that ppl of other religions shd worship with the Christian faith or get out is intolerant to say the least.

Thanks Mr Dr Wereko Brobbey for sharing your views. You exercised your fundamental human rights and so i also think that i can do mine by humbly asking you to let me know where and how the owners of institutions that did not discriminate against people seeking admission to study there but that are being governed by the rules of the institutions (rules and regulations that aim at giving a wholistic formation to those who have accepted to be part of the institution) are infringing on these same people's fundament hunman rights, by using their method which does not go against the laws of the state?

Reading through some of the passages that talk about fundamental human rights, in Ghana's constitution I found these articles and would be happy if you could explain them to me.

12 (2). Every person in ghana, whatever his race, place of origin, political opinion, colour, religion, creed or gender shall be entitled to the fundamental human rights of freedom of the individual contained in this chapter but subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest.

17 (2): A person shall not be disciminated against on the grounds of gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, creed or social or economic status
(3): For the purpose of this article, "descriminate" means to give different treatment to different persons attributed only or mainly to their respective descriptions by race, place of origin, political opinion or creed, whereby persons of one description are subjected to disabilities or restrictions to which persons of another description are not made subject or are granted privileges or advantages which are not granted to persons of another description.

Personal: Religious practices in mission schools are not meant only for the missionaries and their adherents Muslims,Christians, Buddists, etc) just as the other rules and regulations regarding admissons,feeding,studies,sports,accommodation, sponsorship packages,
dressing codes (such as women putting on the veils, removing of shoes or sandals when entering some places of worship in the institutions) etc, are not meant for a particular group only but for everybody. I hope you agree with me that there is no discrimination here.

18 (1).Every person has the right to own property either alone or in association with others.

Personal: Do you agree that the right to own property includes the right to establish schools and train students to become good citizens and also morally upright people. And one of the means is by using religious methods which do not incite students to go about destroying the country Ghana by setting properties ablaze? Let us be grateful to God for what we have received so far from the missionary schools. Today Dr Brobbey you are who you are and very proud of it because of the good fundation you had, even if you seem to be kicking against it now.

(2): No person shall be subjected to
interference with the privacy of his home, property, correspondance or communication except in accordance with law and as may be necessary in a free and democratic society for public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the protection of health or MORALS, for the prevention of DISORDER or crime or for the protection of the rights or freedom of others.
Personal: can the privacy of property not include the rules one uses go govern his institutions; such as dressing codes, religious practices etc; which do not contravene the laws of the state?

Finally, since the constitution makes provision for freedom to have property, is it not good whenever I felt I am at a place and I don't feel comfortable I should try and have my own and enjoy it the way I want it? I also think there is freedom of movement. Hence, I move to the south if the north does not suit me or I move to the west if I find the east difficult to reside.
I also believe no religious group can tell the government to implement the groups religious principles in places where the government has established for all Ghanaians. I the government wants he can build synagogues, mosques,shrines,churches, temples, etc for all the religious groups in all goverment institutions. There no one can talk of imposition or religious eslavement or freedom.
One would argue that but the government supports these mission schools with the state funds. That is true. Just as the goverment supports pilgrimages with state funds but it is not all Ghanaians who benefit from this and we don't grumble because some of us think it is a worthy course, so do we also encourage the goverment to support education which is in fact, for the benefit of the whole country.
In fact, I think the mission schools are rather helping the government and not the government helping the mission schools.
Fellow Ghanaians, let us be very careful because there is a serious danger looming in the country. We have been living happily for years and attending each others schools and respecting the rules without problems. Christians attending muslim schools, though observed rules in those schools, remained christians and were not forced to become muslims, except those who wanted to do so out of their own freewill. Muslims attending christians schools observed the rules of the schools but kept their faith throughout their years of studies and were never forced to become christians.
Today, what is happening in this country goes beyond mere equality of religious rights of students, etc. It risks dissintegrating the country. You might not believe me but I think that is the truth. It is all about indoctrination. Some people somewhere are indoctrinating our your in such a way that a time will come they might even stand up against anything that is not coming from them. Yes, it has happened elsewhere, it is happening elsewhere, and it started in the same way.Beware of the Trojan Horse Virus dear countrymen. A lot of NGO's in our country are Trojan Horse Viruses. They come, give scholarships to our youth to go to some places outside our country to study and when most of these students come back from those countries where they were sent, their views about every religion apart from theirs, change. They begin to challenge governments and institutions and use force to get what they want.
Mr President Beware of Trojan Horse Viruses. Honorable MPs and opinion leaders, Beware of the Trojan Horse Viruses. Chiefs and Journalists and all well meaning Ghanaians, do not say that I did not warn you. Beware of PACKAGES from the middle east. Mr Dr Wereko Brobbey and VIPs in Ghana, Beware ooo. I have spoken. Danger looms. Uproot it now before it becomes too late.
Don't mind my english if you fine grammatical errors. The messege is what matters. Beware.

OIC means Organization of Islamic Countries. They have member nations across the globe and Prez Mahama is seriously working hard to send Ghana to OIC's Observer Status so that he can get some funding to buy votes in the Zongos and other Muslim communities since such funds are only allowed to be spent in such places. One of the conditions needed to qualify to the OIC Observer Status is to scrap Christian mission schools. Ghanaians must be careful since a similar thing happened in Nigeria under the military regime of Gen Babangida and it brought a lot of chaos in that country and collapsed their secondary school education. Ghanaian Catholic Bishops should please contact Bishop Jatau of Kaduna State of Nigeria he has anti-dotes to some of these things.

This is just Dr Wereko-Brobby's opinion and personal experience. In short, that was then, and this is now. Dr Wereko-Brobby must see where the wind is blowing. The NDC Government should take responsibility for messing up the country's admission process into Secondary schools which is directly affecting the relationship between Muslims and Christian/Mission schools.

This issue should not be played out like a conflict between Muslims and Christians in Ghana. Throughout our national history, there have always been respect, understanding and tolerance among Christians and Muslims.

Mission/Catholic schools have their identity, educational ethos and religious character. That religious worship(devotion) is part of student's personal, spiritual and moral development. Clearly, if Muslim students don't want to conform, then they're in the wrong place. They've a choice of Government or Islamic schools. Muslim students cannot take their Islamic dress code to a Catholic school when it is at odds with the School's dress code. Muslim students cannot take their religious beliefs to Catholic schools and expect those schools to dilute their religiosity just to accommodate them.

WB, the last l checked Christians were not demonstrating on the streets of Ghana going to Islamic schools. The President and his administration had no business issuing an edict to Christians. I agree with you the Bishops probably overreacted but I'm disappointed you called them fundamentals without looking closely what precipitated their statement. This was a David and Goliath battle. These missionary schools fighting a government that wants to create unnecessary friction in the country after mismanaging the economy. WB, you cannot always be smarter than all our Bishops. Critically assess the issues instead of the fluff you offer here. I'm disappointed and l seriously believe your indictment of our bishops is completely bullshit.

Doc, you got it right. Providing educational facilities and superintending over such should not necessarily lead to indoctrination. We cannot as a nation allow ourselves to beat the path that divides us

My man stop talking trash. God doesn't force himself on anyone to serve Him, but He will equally not permit any fanatic to intimate others by choosing what they want to do or practice. Start building your own empire and invite diverse kind of people to come practice their religion including satanism.

I guess the Catholic Bishops were misled by their disrespect for the President. If they had respect for the President, they would not try to berate him when he appealed for tolerance for others' faiths in accordance with the constitution.
The Bible does not encourage the follower of Christ to disrespect state authority. This is what Romans Chapter 13 verses 1 to 7 says:
"Everyone must obey state authorities, because no authority exists without God's permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God. 2 Whoever opposes the existing authority opposes what God has ordered; and anyone who does so will bring judgment on himself. 3 For rulers are not to be feared by those who do good, but by those who do evil. Would you like to be unafraid of those in authority? Then do what is good, and they will praise you, 4 because they are God's servants working for your own good. But if you do evil, then be afraid of them, because their power to punish is real. They are God's servants and carry out God's punishment on those who do evil. 5 For this reason you must obey the authorities—not just because of God's punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6 That is also why you pay taxes, because the authorities are working for God when they fulfill their duties. 7 Pay, then, what you owe them; pay them your personal and property taxes, and show respect and honor for them all."
And to imagine that those who lead the flock of Jesus Christ have turned themselves into the President's Opposition and have no respect for him beats one's imagination. The question is whether they are working to please the God who called them or some man.
