The Anglican diocese of Accra has been encouraged to revamp the Lay ministry and make it more effective in the Anglican Church because it is a segment of the Royal Priesthood of all believers. Delivering the sermon at an Ordination service at St. Luke Anglican, Kwashieman, the preacher, Rev’d Fr Daniel Ashitey , Priest in Charge of St. Augustine’s Anglican Church Nungua, advised that, members of the congregation after church service should go out and spread the word that they hear in church to the outside world. Because of this, the Clergy should deliver meaningful messages, he continued. Fr Ashitey called on both the ordained and the lay ministers to appreciate their calling and serve God and man meaningfully. He asked all to go out and work for God not expecting an instant reward, for God will reward the faithful servant at the appropriate time. Rev’d Fr. Ashitey advised parents and the older generation to help the young ones to grow in the fear of God, and not leave them to live reckless lives and end up as misfits in society. Most Rev’d Dr. Justice O. Akrofi, Archbishop of the Province of West Africa and Bishop of Accra, was the celebrant at the Service.
The priest ordained, Rev’d Fr. Aaron Hebert Nii Djan Dodoo, is 34 and a product of St. John Anglican Church, Odorkor. He had his Theological education at St. Nicholas Theological Seminary, Cape Coast.
