Ajumako (C/R) March 9, GNA- The Reverend Father Doctor Anthony Afful-Broni, Senior Lecturer and Head, Department of Psychology and Education, University of Education Winneba (EUW) has said the practice of occultism is now pervasive in the society, especially in the schools. Occultism, drugs and sex, when put together belongs to one class and must be condemned since the damaging effects on human beings costs society so much. Rev. Fr. DR. Afful-Broni said at the 3rd Archdiocese of Cape Coast Catholic Men's Fellowship Conference under the theme; "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another" at Ajumako.

Speaking on the topic: "We are Catholic Men of Christ, called by God to grow through his Church and bring Him to Others, Bring our vision to fruition, said Administrators, teachers, guidance and counselling coordinators, chaplains, parents and student leaders are overwhelmed by the fast pace at which occultism seems to be spreading in the country. He emphasized that Christians should make it an obligation by using the Bible to sensitize those involved in such acts to eschew it. Rev. Afful-Broni advised members of the fellowship to be law abiding, lead lives worthy of emulation and contribute towards the socio-economic development of the area.

Mr. Ignatius Alexander Ackon, President the Fellowship said, in his welcoming address said, the conference aimed to reflect on their ways of life during the past two years and to strategise a way forward in their desire to live as better Christians for the growth of the church and the country.

He said the establishment of Men's fellowship in the church was in a way for members to foster peace and unity among themselves, collaborate with other identifiable groups to promote the well-being of society. He appealed to entire fellowships to help educate the public on the need to live as one with aim to attain salvation in the Lord. Dr. Paul Naah, Senor Lecturer at Department of Applied Linguistics, Coordinator, Communication Skills Unity, UEW said, without Gods guidance, interventions and His Grace man cannot achieve his or her aims and therefore advised them to always give thanks to Him in every situation they may be in. He urged them to let the word of God be their weapon to withstand challenges they encountered and help others to come out of their hardships as Christ Jesus did. 09 March
