The Africa Development Council (ADC) has expressed deep concern over the exclusion of Ghana's traditional faiths from the maiden National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving set for July 1.

Highlighting the importance of unity, the council stressed that true national cohesion can only be achieved by embracing and respecting the full range of Ghana's spiritual traditions.

In a statement released today, the ADC highlighted the country's diverse religious landscape, emphasising that Ghana is not solely made up of Christians and Muslims. "Ghana does not consist of only Christian and Muslim faiths.

Even though statistics might have shown that the majority of Ghana's population is of Christian faith, in reality, traditional faith permeates both Christian and Muslim communities across the country," the council stated.
