Former President John Dramani Mahama has tasked Christians to take keen interest in the governance of the country so as to instill high values in governance.
"We as Christians share a common faith and our national wellbeing is intertwined with the progress of the nation," he said.
Conversations
He was speaking at the maiden edition of the 'Conversations in the Cathedral' at the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Accra last Wednesday.
“Conversations in the Cathedral”, an initiative of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, the Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, seeks to bring together both secular and religious leaders to discuss issues of common concern.
The maiden edition was on the theme: “Reflections on being a Christian in Ghana today: in preparation for Christmas 2019”
It was a solemn evening encounter with deep messages of faith centred on love for one another, especially the poor and the needy in society.
Sharing
Touching on Christmas, Mr Mahama told the gathering that Christmas was a period to share.
He said the story of Christmas in the Bible which centred on the birth of Christ by the virgin Mary was embedded with values such as sharing that must be passed on from one generation to another.
"Christmas provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the values of Jesus and as Christians, we must reflect on ourselves, friends, families and the whole nation.

Thank You for realizing that .God is merciful to to those with genuine heart .
Mahama talking about high values is disgusting for the following reasons: 1. How can a drunkard advise an institution with moral values and discipline to attain high values. High values to be drunkards? 2. I man with more than 18 children with multiple children advising Christian leaders to attain high values? High values to have many children with multiple women? 3. High values for supporting a party chairman who planned to use kidnapping as a means to make a country ungovernable in order to capture political power? 4. High values giving a country's bauxite deposit to a brother? High values indeed? 5. High values building roads on paper (Green Book)? High values in the definition of NDC led by John Mahama. Religious leaders, you are sadly allowing a politician like Mahama to talk to you about high values, because instead of preaching about the message of Christ, you are looking for means to acquire material wealth, and no wonder, a person like Mahama is asking you to aspire to high values.
Na wo wow) high values? learn from the UK labour party presidential candidate who has been humiliated and found it prudent to call quit. You are very annoying paa with no message and running mate just talk talk !
