Apostle Yaw Ntiamoah Manu, District Head Pastor of the African Faith Tabernacle Church in Assin Awisam, has called on Ghanaian religious leaders to take a firm stand against LGBTQ+ activities from their pulpits.
Speaking during the commemoration of his 13 years of pastoral service, Apostle Manu urged pastors, ministry founders, preachers, and evangelists across the country to actively denounce LGBTQ+ practices. He described the issue as one demanding urgent moral leadership from the Church.
The Apostle stressed that religious institutions have a key responsibility to educate their congregations about the spiritual, social, and psychological consequences associated with these activities. He argued that consistent moral teaching within the Church serves as a protective shield, helping communities reject behaviors that conflict with traditional values.
Apostle Manu also addressed the legislative process, noting that Parliament is currently working on a bill to regulate LGBTQ+ activities. He called for swift action, urging the President to sign the anti-LGBTQ+ bill into law immediately once it reaches his desk, without delay.
In addition to his message on LGBTQ+ issues, the District Head Pastor appealed to Ghanaian clergy to end misconduct and discriminatory practices between denominations. He expressed concern over divisions within the Christian community, stating that such fragmentation weakens national development. He called for greater unity and collaboration among churches, emphasizing that collective effort is essential for the progress of the nation.
The congregation responded with deep appreciation for Apostle Yaw Ntiamoah Manu, commending his dedication, humility, and faithful service over the past thirteen years.
