Former chef ordained as priest

Aburi, July 24, GNA- A former chef of La Palm Beach Hotel, Mr Samuel Benjamin Kofi Annim, has been ordained as a Deacon of the Anglican Church at the Aburi St. Luke's Anglican Church at the weekend. The Anglican Bishop of Koforidua, Rt. Rev. Francis Benjamin Quashie, ordained Fr Annim, who is also a final year student of the St. Nicholas Seminary, Cape Coast.

Venerable Ernest Francis Ashitey, Archdeacon of Odumase who preached at the ceremony, observed that, because many Christians commit sinful acts in secret, the Holy Spirit could not dwell in them so they are unable to evangelise the word of God to others.

He said many Christian's workers had not been honest at their work places, with some even gossiping about their colleagues, while others curse their own children.

"After all this when things starts going wrong for them and their children, they rather turn to blame others". Venerable Ashitey urged Christians to be sincere to the teachings of their faith and avoid sinful acts to help reduce the many problems facing the country.
