Cape Coast (Central Region) - The Bishop of the Wesley Methodist Church of Cape Coast, the Right Reverend Isaac Quansah on Wednesday called on Christians to sacrifice their lives for the building of the nation.

Delivering a sermon at a special church service to mark the 168th Anniversary celebration of the Founders Day of the Church at Cape Coast, he said without this the development of the nation would be moving at slow pace.

Bishop Quansah particularly told members of the Church that since "Joseph Dunwell sacrificed his life by dying six months after establishing the Church in the country, they must also do the same by going to the hinterland to spread the words of God".

He asked Christians to put into practice the ethics of Christianity by doing what was expected of them.

The Very Reverend John Kweku Buabeng-Odoom, superintendent Minister of the Cape Coast circuit of the Church said the time has come for the church to set the pace by thinking of changing people spiritually and morally.
