MP asks Christians to respect customary practices

Breman Asikuma (Central Region), 3rd June 99 --

Mr Kobina Fosu, Member of Parliament for Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa has appealed to Christians to respect laws and customs of communities in which they operate in the interest of peace.

He, however, cautioned that breaches of traditional laws should be addressed through dialogue and not by assaults.

Mr Fosu was speaking at the dedication of a 35 million-cedi mission house for the Breman Adikuman district of the Church of Pentecost last Sunday.

He urged the government to bring Christians and traditional authorities together to resolve their differences to avoid similar occurrences in subsequent years.

Mr Fosu called on the congregation to allow truth, honesty and the fear of God to be the foundation of the church.

The area head of the church, Apostle Joseph Albert Mensah, advised members to get involved in communal activities in their communities.
