Christian, Chieftaincy tension dangerous for Ghana – Christian Council

The Christian Council of Ghana has expressed worry over the festering tension between Christians and Chieftaincy Institutions in the country.

General Secretary of the Council Rev Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong fears the development could affect the progress of the country.

Rev. Opuni-Frimpong wants some measures taken to create harmony between the two groups.

Speaking at the launch of Suma Akwantu Kese Festival at Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region, Rev. Opuni-Frimpong said Christianity and the chieftaincy institution has played a critical role in the development of the country.

“Despite the significant contribution that chieftaincy institution has played there seems to be a tremendous tension between Christianity and the chieftaincy institution.

“At the moment there has not been a very good integration between our Christian faith and the chieftaincy and that is one area we have not been able to harmonise,” Rev. Opuni-Frimpong.
