Obscenity on television criticised

Accra, Jan. 6, GNA - The Reverend Kwaku Duah, Head of the Youth Department of the Calvary Methodist Church, on Thursday criticised the showing of "obscene materials on the nation's television".

This has contributed to the weakening of the country's moral fibre making the youth aliens in their own land. Rev Duah told the GNA in an interview that "if this is not checked it will bring disgrace to all". Churches should provide the needed counselling on moral values so that the youth would be able to choose between the right and the wrong.

Rev Duah urged the church to involve the youth in their leadership training programmes to equip them well enough to face the realities and uncertainties in the future. He asked the church to intensify its evangelism and other outreach programmes as way of influencing the youth to lead godly lives. " Ghana is a country which respects culture and traditions but this has been invaded by foreign cultures." GNA
