EP Church not opposed to reconciling with breakaway faction

The Leadership of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, says it is never opposed to reconciling with individual members and groups that broke away from it.

The Right Reverend Dr L. K. Buamah, Moderator of the EP Church, Ghana, said the church was focused on instituting mechanisms that could bring back members, who had left the church while at the same time attracting new members.

Rt Rev Buamah said this when he delivered a sermon at a thanksgiving service held at the Ayigya Chapel in Kumasi on Sunday at the close of the fourth Ashanti and Brong-Ahafo Presbytery meeting of the church.

The three-day meeting was held under the theme: "Closing The Gap".

The Moderator said the decision of the Church to put in place an open-door policy was evidenced that it was zealous about reconciling with those who left the church and also ensuring the unity of purpose within the fold.

"Irrespective of the petty squabbles, we remain brothers in Christ propagating the same gospel" he said, adding: "The petty squabbles in the church should not be an obstacle to the resolve of the church to reach out to people in the country."
