Story: Emmanuel Ashong | May 09, 2021

In a bid to broaden and strengthen its existing institutional framework for decision-making, the Accra Diocese of The Methodist Church Ghana has inaugurated a Fellowship of Past Lay Chairman (FEPLAC). This follows a decision by the 60th Annual Synod of the Accra Diocese held at The Rev Joseph Thomas Clegg Memorial Methodist Chapel, Kaneshie on May 09-10, 2021 to establish the Fellowship.

 

The Fellowship is made up of all surviving Past Lay Chairmen of the Diocese as well as Past Lay Presidents from the Diocese. Among others, members of the Fellowship are expected to bring their rich experiences and strong institutional memory to bear to aid the Diocese in decision-making on critical matters.

 

In a brief Induction Service which took place on May 09, 2021 at The Rev Joseph Thomas Clegg Memorial Methodist Chapel, Kaneshie during the Synod Sunday Thanksgiving Service, the Methodist Bishop of the Accra Diocese, The Rt Rev Samuel Kofi Osabutey, thanked the inaugural members of the Fellowship for availing themselves for service to the Diocese and urged them to give off their best.

 

Speaking on behalf of the Fellowship, the First Lay Chairman of the Accra Diocese, Sis Gladys Afarchoe Odoi expressed members' appreciation to the Diocese for the confidence reposed in them and pledged their readiness to give off their best.
