is not in crises<\/strong><\/span><\/a> as some have projected.<\/p>\nSpeaking at a consecration service , Archbishop Ofori Atta said\u00a0\u201cwe seem to be in hard times economically; the load shedding and erratic power supply is having such a retrogressive effect on our economic activities coupled with increases in taxes.”<\/p>\n
He however expressed the firm belief that the country’s challenges will be resolved if President Mahama showed leadership in resolving the challenges.<\/p>\n
Archbishop Ofori-Atta also expressed concerns about the rising spate of corruption in the country, saying it is an indictment on the clergy.<\/p>\n
He therefore called on the clergy to play their role in addressing the canker by teaching the citzenry high moral standards.<\/p>\n
Archbishop further appealed to the clergy to give the people the spiritual care that they need, saying ,”people do have spiritual, material, financial and emotional problems and they do come to the church for solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what they seek for at times become elusive, hence, they keep on moving from one church to another in search for the solutions they need.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis phenomenon brings to the fore the rhetorical question; what are we doing as ministers of God? For if we were to be doing the work well, all these movements would not be or would have stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n
