GCF Fourth Global Gathering in Accra
The Global Christian Forum has officially begun its Fourth Global Gathering in Accra with the theme “That the World May Know.”
240 participants have gathered from 60 different countries, representing the breadth and diversity of the Christian family. The gathering began with a vibrant, joyful worship service held at Accra Ridge Church, an inter-denominational center.
The Rt. Rev. Lydia Neshangwe, President of the All Africa Conference of Churches and Moderator of the Uniting Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa, preached during the opening worship service about the unlikely pairing of Barnabas and Saul, called together by the Holy Spirit despite a litany of differences. She reminded the participants that “we are stronger together, and we need to demonstrate unity, then the world will know that Jesus is the Son of God.”
The Rev. Dr. Casely Essamuah welcomed participants to Ghana and to the Fourth Global Gathering, and participants spent the day sharing their faith stories with one another across the litany of differences represented.
