Members of the Manhyia branch of the SDA Church prayer group have accused the head pastor of the church, Pastor Kwame Annor Boahen of denouncing the SDA faith.
The pastor has closed the church down over allegations that the elders of the prayer ministry have been involved in corrupt practices.
The Acts 2000 local SDA Church at Manhyia in Kumasi was closed down because, according to its leader, Pastor Dr. Kwame Annor-Boahen of the Adventist (SDA) North Ghana Union, the elders of the church had not been conducting church services in the right manner.
Sources gathered by our news team revealed that the closure of the church took effect on Monday, August 14, 2023, with a ban on prayers at the local church.
“We were told by some members of the church that the head pastor, Pastor Dr Annor Boahen had engaged some police officers to guard the premises of the church and prevent any prayer group from entering it to pray”.
The report added that the pastor had also complained about how the elders of the church had turned the prayer sessions into a money-making enterprise while adopting Charismatic and Pentecostal ways of praying.
These ways of praying are alien to the practices and doctrines of the Adventist faith, according to the head pastor.
This has brought tension between the head pastor of the church and some elders over the issue.
Pastor Dr. Kwame Annor-Boahen has also expressed surprise at the showing of spiritual and supernatural powers during ministering and prayers, which includes such alien practices as bathing women.
At a media briefing on the issue, the secretary to the Manhyia branch of the SDA Wednesday prayer group, Emmanuel Anokye De_graft, debunked the allegations by the head pastor.
He described the action by the pastor as alien to the SDA faith.
He said there was an act of violence when the building was locked and this resulted in breaking some of the locked gates before having access to the church hall.
He said pastor Boahen, disorderly conduct brought about pandemonium when he should have followed the SDA laydown procedure.
