THE GHANAIAN CHURCH SCENE TODAY

Abstract

For a vivid description of the nature and levels of patronage accorded the various types of churches in Ghana, one requires a bird’s eye-view of what the picture looks like countrywide.  “The Ghanaian Church Scene Today” therefore deals, first of all, with a Typology involving 1. The Historic Churches, 2.Other Mission-Related Churches, 3.The Pentecostal Churches, 4.The Independent “Charismatic” Churches and 5.The Independent “Spiritual” Churches.   Secondly, there is the examination of labels, definitions and descriptions that take account of the historical context, the demographic distribution and also theological and other emphases of the various churches that have emerged on the Ghanaian church scene.
