General Overseer of the Evangelical Church of Ghana, Rev Maxwell Liwangol has called on Parliament to pass legislation to compel all churches in Ghana to belong to a recognised body.
This he noted will make it possible to regulate and manage their activities.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Pastors of the College of Theology and Mission in Accra, Rev Liwangol said daily reported cases of Ministers of the Gospel defrauding members and using the name of God to engage in all sorts of vices is of concern.
He said such legislation will bring some sanity into operations of churches.
Meanwhile, the Upper Northern Presbytery Moderator of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Rev. Vincent Dagadu, has called for a national discourse on the exploitation of the vulnerable in the name of religion.
He says the growing tendency for some pastors to hide behind the cassock to amass wealth and perpetrate sexual and other forms of abuse against the people must stop.
Rev. Dagadu was speaking at the 40th Anniversary of the Bolgatanga Evangelical Presbyterian Church Choir.
