Data from the country’s Statistical Service indicates that as of 2010, 71.2% of the population was Christian, 17.6% was Muslim, and 5.2% were adherents of traditional religious beliefs. Non-believers accounted for only 5.3%. Believers other than believers of the three main religions were less than 1%. Despite the diversity, the country has enjoyed peaceful co-existence among all sects and denominations; sectarian violence is a rare phenomenon. Controversies about religious discrimination and stereotypes, and government over indulgence of religion are, however, not uncommon. This article examines the vexed question of separation of church and state in Ghana. It seeks to identify what the country’s religious identity is —whether secular or otherwise—and the implication of that identity for religious expression in public life. Keywords: Ghana, religion, Hijab, first amendment, establishment clause, secularism 1. Introduction Ghana is still in its formative years as a constitutional democracy.

    Issue 1—December 2019 Brother Knights I am delighted to welcome you to the first edition of "The Alliance" the bi-monthly e-newsletter of the International Alliance of Catholic Knights. At the recent conference in Glasgow the Supreme Knights and their representatives from around the world decided that it was important that Knights across the world could share their thoughts, ideas and vision to fulfil the original ideas of Fr McGilvney. That all our Orders shared the same unity of purpose all over the world and it was important that each of us were aware of the actions of our brothers in different countries and indeed continents given that, sadly we now live in a world where attacks on our Christian and Catholic faith, both physical and otherwise, have become the norm and more worryingly accepted without question. The central symbol is a Where belief in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ in the West is ridiculed and cross, triparted and denigrated and in other parts of the world where being a Christian puts your very life freered. This signifies the at risk.

  • Catholic University College of Ghana, Memory and Prophecy"
    THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CUCG, 9TH CONGREGATION AND 17TH MATRICULATION CEREMONY "CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF GHANA, MEMORY AND PROPHECY". Fiapre, 9th November, 2013. INTRODUCTION From the two hats I wear this morning at this event, namely, as the Chancellor of this University and as an Emeritus Archbishop of Cape Coast who happens to be the President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace of the Holy See (the Vatican), let me first bring you greetings and warm felicitations from the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and on its behalf, congratulate the Catholic University College of Ghana at Fiapre heartily at the tenth anniversary of its establishment. Then, as the Chancellor of this University College, I bid you all welcome, and say a hearty Ayekoo to all who have helped bring this University Project this far, and wish everybody gathered here great joy and a fulfilling sense of achievement at this celebration. Invited to share my thoughts with you about this University Project on the 10th anniversary of its foundation and to preside over this Matriculation Ceremony, I wish to reminisce briefly about the birth of this institution and to dream about its future. Thus memory and prophecy are the two guiding ideas of my address. Then, I should have a word of felicitation and encouragement for our new graduates. MEMORY: Your Excellency, My dear Friends, in the writings of the prophet Isaiah, God once gave proof of his transforming power to the people of Israel, decimated by the Babylonian exile and rendered diffident of God's power to change their lot, by referring them to their origins: to Abraham and Sarah, and to how he walked with them.

Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo and Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom- Batsa at the Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana. Any error in this thesis is fully acknowledged as the fault of the researcher. Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Joseph Kwasi Addai (Student) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Prof. Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo (Supervisor) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom-Batsa (Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The problem of this study was that, although the SVD missionaries have been a major partner in the evangelizing mission of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana since their arrival in 1938, their specific contribution to the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Ghana has not been fully assessed. The objective of this thesis therefore is to appraise the missionary activities of the SVD within Ghanaian Catholic Church, and also assess their relevance in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity as a whole. Using the historical method and approach, chapter two traces the history of the SVD from the time of the arrival of the first two missionaries up to the time the mission was handed over to a diocesan bishop in 1971.
