EP CHURCH CONGRATULATES MILLS (PAGE 17)

THE Moderator of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Right Reverend Francis Amenu, has extended congratulations from the church to President John Evans Atta Mills on the occasion of his election and successful inauguration to the highest office as the Head of State of the Republic of Ghana.
“The EP Church highly appreciates His Excellency’s humility, love for peace, magnanimity, tolerance and the desire to be the President of the entire nation, irrespective of party or ethnic affiliation,” he stated
In a congratulatory message delivered to the media in Ho, the moderator said it was the prayer of the congregation that the vision of the President on job creation, educational development, investment in human resource, infrastructural and industrial development would be realised in the interest of the people of Ghana.
The message, signed by Rt Rev. Amenu said the church was conscious of the numerous challenges that confronted it and the nation particularly in the areas of outmoded cultural and traditional practices and rites, inadequate educational programmes and poor health care, unemployment and its attendant poverty, drug menace, ethnic conflicts and problem of indiscipline and corruption within every facet of society.
He nevertheless pledged to work towards harnessing and expanding the human resource base for a more effective and efficient stewardship and to intensify the educational and theological scholarship programmes in a more humane and holistic manner, taking cognisance of gender and disability.
