Rev. Fr. Ebenezer Hanson of the Archdiocese of Accra has raised a compelling concern about the persistent problem of segregation within Churches in Ghana.
His remarks shed light on a troubling reality: the stark division between the wealthy and the impoverished during communal gatherings, such as picnics and feast days.
According to Fr. Hanson, the development mirrors the problems of Corinth described in the New Testament, where divisions and inequalities were present among the early Christians.
“The problem of Corinth is very prevalent in our churches today. Let’s have a picnic or a feast day, and you will see the specky segregation. Today, we all receive Holy Communion after which the rich sit in their corner to eat and drink while the poor console themselves with drumming and dancing,” Fr. Hanson said.
The contemporary equivalent in our churches is a reminder of how far we still have to go in embodying the unity and equality that our faith calls us to uphold.
