The Reverend Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso, Chairman of the Asante Presbytery of the Presbyterian says the nation is afraid to change the way it dispenses justice.
He said it is a matter of regret that the establishment of the Fast Track Courts that was bringing change in the dispensation of justice has been seen as a monster.
Rev Frimpong-Manso said though it is difficult to do away with tradition, people should accept the fact that change is inevitable and must come from within.
He was preaching the sermon during the induction into office of the National Officers of the Presbyterian Men's Fellowship at the Presbyterian chapel at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Sunday.
"Even in our judicial system, change has become a big animal," Rev Frimpong-Manso said, and admonished the new executive not to be afraid to introduce changes into the fellowship.
"In times of extreme anger and frustration, we don't even remember that the Lord is there," he pointed out, and charged the executive to call unto the Lord in times of need.
Rev Frimpong-Manso said they have been given the authority to win more souls but told them that they should not let the power they have been given corrupt them. They must always strategise and plan ahead, and remember that a leader is the one who has a following.
Mr Kofi Asante Agyarko, National Chairman of the Fellowship, said the church has embarked on new approaches to handling issues which has brought challenges and constraints. He said change is inevitable in any situation and if the church does not accept it, it would be overtaken by events.
