Catholic Bishop entreat Christians to speak vehemently against ethnicity

Beposo (Ash), May 18, GNA - Most Reverend Joseph Osei Bonsu, Catholic Bishop of the Mampong-Konongo diocese, has entreated Christians to speak vehemently against ethnicity, indiscipline and other social vices, which are seriously affecting the development of the country. He was preaching the sermon to climax his three-day pastoral visit to the Nsuta Rectorate of the church at Beposo in the Sekyere Central District.

Bishop Osei Bonsu appealed to Ghanaians to have faith in God, live righteousness and do away with gossiping, drug menace and political polarisation characterised with blame games and discrimination. He cautioned Christians against using "curses on anybody no matter the circumstance" and to learn to forgive one another as Jesus Christ taught his followers.

Nana Boamah Kwabi V, Omanhene of Beposo Traditional Area, commended the Catholic Church for providing school blocks and health facilities throughout the country and appealed for similar facilities to be extended to Beposo.

He regretted that since 1986 when the pipe-borne water at Beposo broke down, no effort were made by past governments to work on it leaving the over 6,000 inhabitants to experience perennial water shortages and appealed to the church to help in the construction of a borehole. Bishop Osei-Bonsu visited Atwea, Banko, Bonkron, Jansa, Nsuta and Beposo during his tour and visited the sick and the aged, where he prayed for them. 18 May 09
