Why it matters
The relationship between religious institutions and political leadership is a critical factor in the social and political stability of many African nations.
President John Dramani Mahama has urged the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) to remain a firm and fearless moral voice in national affairs, calling on the church to "speak with courage and consistency" as Ghana navigates social, economic and political challenges.
He said the PCG, as an active member of the church in Ghana, had been the voice of conscience and held the moral compass on all issues that affected national development, a role that had contributed to the steady development of the country.
Addressing the 26th General Assembly of the PCG at the Ramseyer Congregation, Abetifi - Kwahu, President Mahama encouraged the PCG to maintain its prophetic voice, insisting that it must comfort the afflicted, challenge the comfortable and resist injustice, whether committed by friends or opponents.
