Newly Ordained Priests in Ghana Urged to Reject Competition for Power and Fame
Bishop Emmanuel Kofi Fianu cautioned two newly ordained priests in the Diocese of Ho, Ghana, to avoid seeking power, fame, popularity, or public approval. During the September 19 ordination of Deacons Jude Tachie and Edmund Elorm Ackuaku, the bishop told the men that the priesthood requires faithfulness to their calling and availability to the people of God rather than competition for status. Bishop Fianu instructed the priests to imitate Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd by prioritizing the well-being of the faithful over personal interests. He stated that a good shepherd provides for, protects, and guides the flock without manipulating, abusing, or taking advantage of them. As they begin their ministry, the bishop encouraged the men to embrace service and collaboration, noting that they will serve as associate priests to assist parish priests.
