SDA Church Ghana furious over Bekwai Adventist SHS participating in NSMQ on Saturday

Adventist Senior High School, Bekwai (SDASS) has been punished by the Seventh-day Advent Church in Ghana for participating in the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) on a Saturday.

The Church has stated that it will not tolerate the school’s activity since it violates its beliefs and traditions regarding the Sabbath.

“The Union has met with the leadership of the institution on the issue which has the propensity of derailing all efforts of the Church to stand by our beliefs, especially that of the Sabbath.

“Indeed, the leadership of the Church finds it difficult to understand why an institution like SDASS should smack on the Church, its philosophy and beliefs

We strongly believe that no entity of the church would involve itself in such an act in future.

We want to assure all Church members that we will continue to hold on to the truth of the Bible, and also protect “Thus says the Lord”,” parts of a communique issued by the Church read.

The SDA, however, urged members of the Church to forgive the school since it has through the leadership of SDA schools in Ghana rendered an apology.
