Christian leaders must put differences aside

Bishop Sam Owusu has made a passionate appeal for unity among Christian leaders, urging them to set aside denominational differences and focus on collective progress.

He criticized the fragmentation within the Christian community, saying, “We are preaching unity, love, and peace, yet we cannot be united ourselves.

“Why do we have separate councils—the Christian Council, Pentecostal Council, Charismatic Council, and Prophetic Council? We are one body of Christ.”

Addressing the National Cathedral’s stalled construction, he linked the issue to a lack of unity. “Christians started this project, but we failed to complete it. Now, everyone is looking away as if it never happened. If we cannot come together to build a place for God, what message are we sending?”

In an interview on Joy Prime monitored by MyNewsGh, Bishop Owusu stressed that religious leaders must put aside their personal interests and think about the future.

“Sometimes, we need to forget about profits and personal integrity and focus on the greater purpose. The Cathedral may not make sense now, but years from today, it will save many souls.”

He also rejected claims that the church as an institution has failed. “The church is the pillar holding this country together. It teaches values that schools don’t, and it prevents society from total moral decay.”

Calling for a renewed effort to complete the Cathedral, he said, “We should either remove what has been built and find a new location, or we must finish what we started. But we cannot ignore it.”
