  • The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012
    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.6, No.14, 2016 The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012 Evang. Isaac Boapeah Central University College Abstract The Salvations Army is a Christian denomination and a charitable organization which started in 1865 in East London by the Rev. William Booth and his wife Mrs. Catherine Booth who broke away from the Methodist Church. The Army works with a philosophy that “heart to God and hands to man”. It also uses military titles. In Ghana, the Salvation Army has health centres and educational institutions. The Army has its presence in 126 countries as of today. The Army got established in Ghana in 1922 through King Hudson. This work looks at how it has spread throughout Ghana. Introduction The Salvation Army is a Christian church denomination and a charitable organization with the philosophy that; ‘heart to God and hand to man’. The Salvation Army in Ghana is a member of the Christian council of Ghana. This work looks at how The Salvation Army (The Army) came to Ghana, then Gold Coast, and has spread to all the ten political regions in Ghana. It briefly looks at the establishment of the Army in London before it came to Ghana. This study also briefly throws some light on the religious setting within which the Army flourished in Ghana. This is considered because one of the factors that makes a crop to do well include the very land on which it is planted.

  • Press Release Shooting of the Pilgrims of Mpuasu
    PRESS RELEASE SHOOTING OF THE PILGRIMS OF MPUASU-JAPEKROM TRADITIONAL AREA AT NEW DROBO AND THE SECURITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE JAMAN SOUTH MUNICIPALITY – NON-RESIDENTIAL CITIZENS OF MPUASUMAN- JAPEKROM TRADITIONAL AREA Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, Good morning. We have called the attention of Ghanaians to a very serious security development in the Jaman South Municipal Area, specifically between Japekrom and New Drobo (Drobo). These matters resulted from the shooting of the Youth Chief of Japekrom and two other people, a Senior High School student and a one-year-old baby who were all part of a peaceful procession during the Celebration of the Munufie Festival by the People of the Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area. 2. THE MUNUFIE FESTIVAL The activities marking the Annual Munufie Festival of the people of Mpuasu-Japekrom Traditional Area involved a visit to Mpuasu, the ancestral home of the people to perform a spiritual bath. This year’s activities involved the commemoration of our ancestral journey, a showcase of the coming and settlement of the people of Mpuasu-Japekrom in present day Japekrom. This event, which took place on 17th October, 2018, takes place every 5 decades (50 years) and it involves walking on foot from Krobuo on the main Japekrom-Sampa road to Japekrom. Over 1000 residents and non-residents of the Traditional Area, including men, women, young, old and children participated in the historic walk. Unfortunately, this peaceful walk ended in bloodshed. Unknown assailants fired gunshot from a storey-building at the roadside (eyewitness and police accounts) into the crowd, killing three (3), including a one year old baby.

  • Ghanaian Methodist Spirituality in Relation with Neo- Pentecostalism
    Ghanaian Methodist Spirituality GHANAIAN METHODIST SPIRITUALITY IN RELATION WITH NEO- PENTECOSTALISM Doris E. Yalley Abstract: Contemporary Ghanaian Methodist spirituality exhibits varied religious tendencies. A cursory look at some activities which take place at the Church’s prayer centres reveals worship patterns of the historical Wesleyan Tradition, patterns of the Pentecostal and Neo-Charismatic. To understand how worship patterns promote har- monious religious environments for members of the Church, the study examined some of the practices which could have possibly informed such religious expressions within the Methodist Church Ghana (MCG). The findings revealed a religious disposition fashioned to re- flect the Church’s foundational heritage, tempered with ecumenical models integrated to address the Ghanaian cultural context. Keywords: Wesleyan Spirituality, Neo-Pentecostalism, Ghanaian Methodism Introduction A careful examination of the contemporary Ghanaian Methodist reli- gious scene reveals varied worship patterns.1 The phenomenon raises the question whether the contemporary liturgical praxis is a rebirth of the historical Wesleyan Tradition or a manifestation of the Pentecos- tal/Neo-Pentecostal waves blowing over the Ghanaian religious scene, or a ‘locally brewed’ spirituality emerging from Indigenous Ghanaian cultures. This paper argues that the Wesleyan Tradition practised by the founding Fathers can be described as ‘Pentecostal.’ Furthermore, against the view of some Ghanaian Methodists, including a former Director of the Meth- odist Prayer and Renewal Programme (MPRP), that the MCG has com- promised its Wesleyan identity, a three-fold aim is pursued: a) To evaluate the nature of Methodism in contemporary Ghana; b) To examine the vision and mission of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society (WMMS); 1 The Church is one of the largest and oldest denomination in Ghana, birthed out of the early Christian missionary activities in the then Gold Coast in the year 1835.

The pressures of urbanization and fast growing population of the cities have therefore impacted on land management. This study analyzed land management practices in Accra and Kumasi in view of rapid urbanization. The study analyzed issues such as the operation of the land markets in the cities – trend of land use, ownership and land values, sources and process of land acquisition. Customary land ownership in the two cities constitutes about 90%. The value of land in Accra is relatively higher than in Kumasi.
