New Juaben South: In a demonstration of total unity and commitment to peace, churches and mosques within the New Juaben South Municipality of the Eastern Region have, in various interdenominational engagements, advocated for interfaith tolerance and harmonious living. According to Ghana News Agency, the interfaith engagements aimed at promoting harmony and peaceful coexistence among diverse religious communities are spearheaded by the New Juaben South Municipal office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and the New Juaben South Inter-Party Dialogue Committee (IPDC). Through these collaborative efforts, religious leaders are encouraging their congregations and followers to promote messages of peace and understanding amidst a politically charged environment. The interfaith initiative, which began on October 18, 2023, encourages diverse religious communities in the municipality to work together to sustain Ghana's prevailing peaceful atmosphere as the nation approaches the December 7 elections . The initiative targets selected churches and mosques across the municipality, to inform followers about the importance of preserving a peaceful environment. The forum, scheduled to run until November 10, 2024, also encourages worshippers from various faiths to vehemently reject any actions that could disrupt communal harmony. During a session at the Koforidua Central Mosque, Alhaji Suleman Ahmed, a member of the IPDC, emphasized the crucial role of peace in fostering co-existence and facilitating development within communities. He urged Muslim worshippers to embody the principles of peace inherent in Islam and to reject violence that could threaten local tranquility. At the Voice of Christ Mission-Ghana, Apostle Puzasor, the Chairperson of the IPDC, echoed similar sentiments, encouraging the congregation to be ambassadors of peace, and actively participate in sustaining peace. He underscored that a peaceful environment was essential for national development for the social and economic good of the people. M r. Clement Donkor, the Municipal Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), addressed the congregation at the House of Salvation Ministry about the importance of responsible communication. He cautioned against misinformation during the electoral period, advising congregants to verify the authenticity of information before sharing it to avoid legal repercussions associated with spreading false information. He condemned the practice of monetizing politics and urged voters to remain vigilant against the temptation to exchange their votes for money or material goods. The IPDC and NCCE team has already visited several communities within the municipality, including areas such as Obuotabiri, Afiafi, and Ntronang, to extend their interfaith peace-promotion messages to residents.
