Koforidua, October 31, GNA - Pastor Emmanuel Denteh, President of the Central Ghana Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church, at the weekend called for a vigorous national campaign against alcoholism and the promotion of alcoholic beverages in the media.

He argued that if a campaign was being waged against smoking, something should also be done to discourage people from drinking alcohol.

Pastor Denteh made the call in a sermon in Koforidua during the Ordination ceremony of four pastors to the Gospel Ministry of the East Ghana Conference of the SDA Church.

Those ordained were Pastors Isaac Omari, 39, Charles Boamah, 46, Bernard Adu Yeboah, 51 and Shadrach Kwame Appiah, 34.
