Ghana's National Day of Prayer to Embrace Traditional Customs

Ghana's National Day of Prayer: A Call to Incorporate Traditional Customs Accra, Ghana – The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has urged the inclusion of traditional Ghanaian customs in the upcoming National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving, scheduled for July 1st. In a recent meeting with the event's planning committee, the King highlighted the importance of understanding and respecting these practices, which he believes contribute significantly to Ghana's peace and cultural identity. "Spiritual practices, such as the Ga people's tradition of observing periods of silence, are often misunderstood," explained the Ga Mantse. "However, these customs are essential to the fabric of our nation and play a pivotal role in fostering peace and unity." He further emphasized the need for a holistic approach, incorporating elements that resonate with all Ghanaians, regardless of their religious background. The planning committee is currently reviewing the King's proposal, considering how best to integrate these traditions without compromising the core message of the National Day of Prayer. The integration of traditional practices is expected to add a layer of cultural richness and significance to the national event, promoting a sense of shared identity and heritage among all participants.
