The Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Reverend Justin Portal Welby, has hailed Ghanaians for the peace of the country and said they should continue to hold together to bring progress.
He said Ghanaians should not only pray but work with unity of purpose to tackle every challenge.
Most Rev. Welby was delivering the sermon at an �evensong service� held at the Saint Cyprian�s Cathedral in Kumasi.
The Head of the worldwide Anglican Communion is in the country for a pastoral visit.
He said it was his prayer that the people would not only show strong resolve to reconcile with one and another, but grow in their faith and confidence in the Lord they served.
He told the congregation to refuse to give in to fear adding that through God�s abundant mercies, conflicts and diseases including the dreadful haemorrhagic viral Ebola fever would be overcome.
�You just need to put your trust in God and allow Him to lead in whatever you do,� he said.
Earlier, the Most Rev. Professor Daniel Yinkah-Sarfo, Primate and Metropolitan Archbishop of the Internal Province of West Africa, said the visit was in fulfilment of a promise made by the global head of the church at the start of his Archiepiscopacy to tour all the 38 provinces before the close of the year.
He had already visited 36 of them. He is in Ghana with his wife, Caroline, and the Rev. Canon Precious Omuku, a staff.
He had, on arrival in Kumasi on Thursday, called on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, where he received a spectacular royal ceremonial welcome and later held an inter-faith dialogue at the Kwame Nkrumah university of Science and Technology.
His visit comes on the heels of the elevation of Kumasi as Headquarters of the Church�s Internal Province of West Africa.
