AGÊNCIA DE NOTÍCIAS DA RECOACERAO, RECONA revelou que os líderes de vários grupos cristãos em Gana solicitaram ao presidente do país da RECOWA-CERAO, Nana Akufo-Addo, que reconsiderasse a diretiva do governo de que os serviços da igreja sejam realizados em uma hora.
“Os líderes dos vários grupos cristãos são de opinião que o tempo alocado para os cultos da igreja precisa ser reconsiderado, já que grupos religiosos e, nesse sentido, as igrejas cumpriram todos os regulamentos e protocolos de segurança estabelecidos pelo governo”, Dom Philip Naameh , O Presidente da Conferência Episcopal Católica de Gana (GCBC), disse à imprensa local quarta-feira, 1 de julho.
O arcebispo Naameh, que é o Ordinário Local da Arquidiocese de Tamale, observou que as pessoas acostumadas a adorar por três ou quatro horas achavam difícil se adaptar à uma hora que o Presidente também prescreveu no conjunto das diretrizes do COVID-19.
“Não contestamos a lógica por uma hora. Entendemos que quanto mais você perde tempo juntos em uma grande reunião, maior o risco de que as pessoas sejam infectadas ”, afirmou ele.
O Arcebispo de Gana acrescentou: “Mas, honestamente, se provarmos que podemos observar todas as outras medidas de segurança, incluindo fumigação da igreja, uso de máscaras, higienização das mãos e evitar todo tipo de interação física, acho que podemos realizar nossos serviços confortavelmente dentro de um curto espaço de tempo. mais de uma hora. Uma hora e meia é tudo o que pedimos.
Ele disse que nas paróquias onde as missas públicas foram retomadas, o número máximo permitido de fiéis havia sido respeitado, o de 100 participantes.
“Embora existam igrejas muito grandes, aderimos ao pequeno número de fiéis permitido”, disse o arcebispo Naameh.
As diretrizes rigorosas para a reabertura segura de locais de culto no Gana provocaram reações variadas entre os membros do público, com alguns questionando a consistência do governo que permitiu a retomada das atividades de mercado e outras reuniões sociais sem restrições após o levantamento do bloqueio parcial. .
O presidente de Gana, em 31 de maio, diminuiu as restrições impostas às reuniões sociais e ordenou que as atividades religiosas públicas fossem retomadas em 5 de junho, com um máximo de 100 pessoas em cada serviço.
Ele disse que a reabertura das igrejas seria realizada em fases, com a primeira fase permitindo 25% dos congregantes que deveriam observar uma distância física de um metro.
Enquanto isso, líderes religiosos em Gana lamentam a imprudência exibida no país da África Ocidental, onde uma parte da população, incluindo líderes religiosos, não está aderindo aos protocolos de segurança estabelecidos para conter a propagação do vírus.
Alguns pastores foram presos por desrespeitar alguns protocolos de segurança COVID-19, enquanto alguns oficiais do governo mostraram não aderir às regras de distanciamento social.
O arcebispo Naameh exortou os políticos a praticar as leis da terra da maneira que pedem aos cidadãos.

Information reaching the office of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA indicated that the Church Leaders in Ghana under the supervision of Archbishop Philip Naameh, Metropolitan Archbishop of Tamale and President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops conference has recently Petitioned for Increase of Public Mass Duration after Lockdown
RECOACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA revealed that the Leaders of various Christian groups in Ghana have requested the President of the RECOWA-CERAO country, Nana Akufo-Addo to reconsider the government directive that church services be conducted within one hour.
“The leaders of the various Christian groups are of the view that the time allocated for church services needs to be reconsidered since religious groups and for that matter, churches have abided by all regulations and safety protocols laid down by the government,” Archbishop Philip Naameh, President of Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC), told a local media Wednesday, July 1.
Archbishop Naameh who is the Local Ordinary of the Tamale Archdiocese observed that people who are used to having worship for three or four hours were finding it difficult to adjust to the one hour that the President also prescribed in the set of the COVID-19 directives.
“We don’t dispute the logic behind one hour. We understand that the more you waste time together in a big gathering, the greater the risk that people may get infected,” he said.
The Ghanaian Archbishop added, “But honestly if we have proved that we can observe all other safety measures, including church fumigation, wearing of masks, hand sanitization and avoiding all manner of physical interactions, I think we can comfortably conduct our services within a little more than an hour. An hour and a half is all we ask for.”
He said that in Parishes where public Masses had resumed, the allowed maximum number of worshippers had been adhered to, that of 100 participants.
“Though there are churches that are very big, we have adhered to the small numbers of worshippers allowed nonetheless,” Archbishop Naameh said.
The stringent guidelines for the safe reopening of places of worship in Ghana elicited mixed reactions among members of the public, with some questioning the consistency of the government that allowed resumption of market activities and other social gatherings without any restrictions following the lifting of the partial lockdown.
Ghana’s President, May 31, eased the restrictions that had been imposed on social gatherings and directed that public religious activities would, on June 5, resume with a maximum of 100 people in every single service.
He said that the reopening of churches would be carried out in phases, with the first phase allowing for 25 percent of congregants who were supposed to observe a physical distance of one meter.
Meanwhile, religious leaders in Ghana have lamented about the recklessness displayed in the West African country where a section of the population, including religious leaders, are not adhering to safety protocols put in place to contain the spread of the virus.
Some pastors were imprisoned for flouting some COVID-19 safety protocols while some top government officials were shown not to adhere to social distancing rules.
Archbishop Naameh urged politicians to practice the laws of the land the way they urge citizens do to.
