In November, thousands of people flocked to see Christ on a wall at Dansoman, an Accra suburb full of drinking bars and hotels with seedy corporate missions and not-so-Christian client orientation.

Doubting Thomases said it was the work of a prankster, or just a coincidence as would be the resemblance of your wife's face in the grains of your office desk, or that of your late dog in a passing cloud.
