The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, Most Reverend Professor Emmanuel K. Asante, has stressed that no sane society or country will approve homosexuality.

He said God created man and woman for procreation as the principle of fertilization runs through all creatures and so there could be no justification for human beings to practise homosexuality.

Most Rev. Prof. Asante was speaking at a pastors’ meeting at Tema ahead of Reinhard Bonnke’s Crusade at Ashaiman scheduled for December 3-6, this year.

He was of the view that developed nations had influenced the liberal thinking ability of human beings by replacing the principles of God with humanism.
He pointed out that the love of material things and pleasure had made people to think otherwise.

According to Most Rev Professor Asante, even animals do not engage in such despicable acts stating, “Lesser creatures in the kingdom of animalia, you will never see the male dog crossing the male; it never happens. But we of the higher beings of the kingdom animalia are saying no.”

He joins several members of the clergy and well-meaning Ghanaians who have vehemently spoken against the practice, with a call on Government to nip it in the bud before it gets worse.

Rev. John K. Darku, Executive Africa Director for Christ for All Nations – who are the organisers of the crusade – explained that the crusade is to win souls for the Lord.

He stated that the crusade is for God to protect and intervene in the crisis the country is currently going through.

“The Bible commands all Christians to pray for their nation for prosperity and protection against any eventuality,” Rev. Darku stated.
