The Case of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana Ethnicity and the Church: the Case ofthe Presbyterian Church of Ghana By Rev.Solomon Sumani Sule-Saa A dissertation submitted to the School of Theology, University of Natal, in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the award of the Master of Theology degree in African Christianity June, 2000 Natal, Pietermaritzburg ABSTRACT Ethnicity and the Church are two vital subjects in mission studies. However, the focus has always been on the latter. As a result the Church's theology of ethnicity is weak. Fear, ethnocentrism and theological blindness account for the little interest in the subject of ethnicity. However, a Church that neglects ethnicity does so at her own peril. God's dealings with IsraeL a history of the growth of the Church from one culture to another makes the study of ethnicity imperative. Failure to acknowledge and harness ethnicity can lead to ethnocentrism or tribalism which is an enemy to God's mission. God's mission essentially reconciles, unites and enriches people from different ethnic groups whilst ethnocentrism or tribalism excludes, divides and impoverishes them. The Presbyterian Church of Ghana like the wider society has to cope with ethnicity. Whereas the Church has harnessed ethnicity in her mission, she has, nonetheless, failed always to do away with ethnocentrism or tribalism. The PCG has not been faithful to her parent missionaries' strategy of planting indigenous churches among the non-Akan and non-Ga. The current PCG's strategy amounts to Akan-Ga cultural mission. Ethnicity and Christian identity are crucial to providing people with their true secure identity. A Christian always has to come to terms with his dual identity, that is, belonging to an ethnic group as well as to Christ. A theology that affirms this dual identity will be in a position to have healthy multi-ethnic churches and be effective in mission. Andrew Walls' Three Tests of Christian expansion: The Church, The Kingdom and The Gospel Tests serve as our measuring instrument. The PCG has not passed these Tests satisfactorily. She needs the Pentecost experience, that is a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit. The thrust of this thesis is that, when the PCG experiences this Pentecost, integration, reconciliation and embrace will be achievable among her multi-ethnic membership. DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my grandmother, Tini Mumuni and My Uncle Moses Mumuni for being instrumental in my education. I also dedicate it to ~he Christian family of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. May this work prompt the PCG to strive to be the Church she is meant to be - a multi-ethnic church. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT "Not to us, 0 LORD, but to thy name give glory, for the sake ofthy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!" (Psalm 115: 1). I thank God for the opportunity He gave me to draw the PCG's attention to the issue of ethnicity in this study. Even though I had already decided to research into that area, the current Synod Clerk's challenge on his assumption of office on 1st March 2000, was an added motivation. I acknowledge the interest and ready assistance most PCG members gave me during my field research particularly in the Northern Mission Field. My special thanks to the Rt. Rev. Dr. Samuel Prempeh, Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Charles Gyang-Duah, Synod Clerk and the Synod Committee of the PCG for answering the questionnaire or granting me interviews. Questionnaire Respondents and those I interviewed gave brilliant and helpful insights into the issue of ethnicity in the PCG. This is attested to by the unprecedented return of about 80 percent ofthe questionnaires sent out! My heartfelt thanks go to each one ofthem. I am deeply grateful to my supervisors, Dr. Elom Dovlo, Dr. Anthony Balcomb and Professor Robert Addo-Fening, for guiding me in the study. J am grateful to them for they have enriched me because of their individual specialties in diverse disciplines. Thanks to my other lecturers: Professors Andrew Walls, Watson Omulokoli, Hans Viser, Neville Rjchardson, Kwame Bediako, Doctors Robert Aboagye-Mensah, Gillian Mary Bediako, Allison Howell and Mrs. Philomena Mwaura for their friendship and guidance and for making my study purposeful and interesting. I also thank Dr. Noel Smith, Mr. S. K. Drah of the Geography Department, University of Ghana, Legon as well as the Very Reverend A. A. Beeko, for the maps on the Presbyterian Church ofGhana and the ethnic groups in Ghana. I thank the African Theological Initiative (ATI) for a scholarship for me to study and the African Theological Fellowship (ATF) for establishing· the M Th Programme. Special thanks go the ATF-linked institutions such as the Akrofi-Christaller Memorial Centre for Mission Research and Applied Theology (ACMC), Akropong,Ghana, the Evangelical Theological House of Studies (ETHOS), South Africa and St. Andrews College, Kabare, Kenya which hosted the programme. I acknowledge with deep gratitude the immense support of my institution, the ACMC, for my research. The Director's mentoring and pastoral role, as well as all the assistance given me by fellow staff are very much appreciated. Since I cannot mention all of them by name, I wish to just name a few to represent all the others: Mr.Ben Asiedu, Mrs. Hazel III Squires and Miss Korklu Laryea, introduced me to the use of a computer and helped me to find books in the library. Thanks to Auntie Dorothy Asamani, the Matron and all the support staff for their diverse services. I also appreciate the generosity of the Reverend S. K. Aboa, Vice Chairman of ACMC's Board, for giving me valuable books and newspapers for my work. My family's support has been very much cherished. My special thanks to my dear wife, Beatrice Masata, for being such a good wife to me. I also appreciate my children and wards: Emmanuel, Samuel, Tabitha, Daniel and Christiana for all their assistance to me in many ways. My thanks to my uncle, Mr. Moses Mumuni particularly, for his support towards my education. Finally, I thank all my friends whose prayers and encouragement have carried me thus far. May God bless and inspire all who read this work. Solomon Sumani Sule-Saa.

  • Building on Custom: Land Tenure Policy and Economic Development in Ghana
    BLOCHER 6.20.DOC 6/20/2006 3:29 PM Note Building on Custom: Land Tenure Policy and Economic Development in Ghana Joseph Blocher† This Note addresses the intersection of customary and statutory land law in the land tenure policy of Ghana. It argues that improving the current land tenure policy demands integration of customary land law and customary authorities into the statutory system. After describing why and how customary property practices are central to the economic viability of any property system, the Note gives a brief overview of Ghana’s customary and statutory land law. The Note concludes with specific policy suggestions about how Ghana could better draw on the strength of its customary land sector.

Godwyll Assistant Professor of Educational Studies Renée A. Middleton Dean, College of Education 4 ABSTRACT ADUSAH-KARIKARI, AUGUSTINA, Ph.D., June 2008, Curriculum and Instruction, Cultural Studies Experiences of Women in Higher Education: A Study of Women Faculty and Administrators in Selected Public Universities in Ghana. (203 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Francis E. Godwyll Recent research on women’s experiences in higher education in Ghana is limited. These few studies have been insufficient, therefore, to serve as a basis for rectifying the ongoing gender imbalances in higher education. Higher education is the portal to enhancing the status of women, especially in developing societies such as Ghana. Increasing the numbers of women in higher education is not the only answer to obtaining gender equality. Pragmatic solutions are needed to improve gender equality. This study sought to examine the experiences of women in higher education in Ghana by considering the challenges that women face as faculty and administrators. It explored factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of women in senior positions within the universities and further investigated the policies that have been adopted to influence gender equity.

  • Pan-African Conferences, 1900-1953: What Did ‘Pan-Africanism’ Mean?
    Pan-African Conferences, 1900-1953: What Did ‘Pan-Africanism’ Mean? by Marika Sherwood Marika Sherwood is a foundingr member of the Black & Asian Studies Association and editor of the BASA Newsletter . She is the author of numerous books and articles on the history of Black peoples in the UK, as well as on education, and she is also an honorary senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London Abstract The concerns of Pan-Africanists, their philosophies and politics naturally depended on the times they were living in. Nevertheless the call for unity, whether overt or implied has been there for well over a century. This need was perhaps easier to espouse when the proposal was for unity against the imperialist oppressors. Once this was obtained (though it is quite reasonable to argue that it is still there, in new forms), the issue became – and is - far more complex and complicated. Another complication that arose with independence is the whole issue of ‘nationalism’. After all, the countries of Africa were created in Berlin by Europeans who ignored existing empires/kingdoms/polities, languages, traditions, religions, cultures: how is a new nation to be created from the plethora of many people’s whose histories vis-à-vis each other were often ‘problematic’? Or, in the name of African unity, should the boundaries be withdrawn? But then how would you administer – and whom? This paper will examine the meaning of ‘pan-Africanism’ as espoused at the at the 1900 and 1945 Pan-African Conference, and by the West African National Secretariat, Kwame Nkrumah and George Padmore, until and including pan-African conference in Kumasi in 1953.

As I approach the end of my first year in the University of Ghana, I am encouraged by the significant develop- ment in legal education which has occurred. In this, many people have played important roles, but two groups merit special mention. The first of these is the General Legal Council of Ghana. The Council is a statutory body including all of the justices of the Supreme Court, the Attorney-General, certain appointees of the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice, and representatives elected by the Ghana Bar Association.
