President John Evans Atta Mills has challenged church leaders to redeem the image of Christianity to promote the 'Better Ghana Agenda'.
According to Joy FM's presidential correspondence, Elvis Adjetey, the President was worried that some religious leaders have recently been reported to have engaged in ungodly acts such as fraud and rape that have dented the image of the Church.
"We as Christians, dare not fail, let us march on as Christian soldiers and fight to redeem the image of the Church. I am therefore appealing to church leaders in particular to lead by example to glorify our Father who is in heaven."
Speaking at a special congregation service of the Global Evangelical Church in Accra on Thursday, the President said the onus lies on religious leaders and their followers to live lifestyles that would promote the 'Better Ghana Agenda'.
"The Better Ghana Agenda should not be left to us politicians, church leaders and indeed the Christian community have an important stake in ensuring that we [achieve the] better Ghana [Agenda]."
