He said Christians seemed to relegate God’s teachings and expectations to the background and were doing what seemed right in their sight.
“We seem to be saying, God we do not need you in our lives. We have made our own laws’,” he said.
The Very Rev. Dr Boafo said that was responsible for the indiscipline on the part of some followers culminating in all sorts of unhealthy behaviour to the detriment of the good image Christianity had carved for itself over the years.
Addressing the 29th Annual General Meeting of the Kumasi Diocesan Association of the Methodist Men’s Fellowship at Asawase in Kumasi, Rev. Boafo advocated a change in attitude to ensure that religion achieved its objectives.
The meeting was on the theme: “Overcoming the Challenges in Mobilising the Fellowship’s Resources for Witness to Christ Today.”
Rev. Boafo, who is also a Minister of the Methodist Church, Ghana, advised the association to complement efforts of the clergy, particularly in the area of evangelism, since that was the cardinal mission of the church.
The Kumasi Diocesan Chairman of the association,Mr Edward Nketia-Asante, said the association was able to inaugurate five new branches within the period under review.
