The Presiding Bishop of The Methodist Church Ghana, the Most Rev. Prof. Johnson Asamoah-Gyadu, has criticised the growing use and promotion of obscene and vulgar language on social media.
He says such behaviour is inconsistent with Ghana’s religious and cultural values, particularly in a society that considers itself deeply religious.
In a social media post, the Most Rev. Prof. Asamoah-Gyadu reflected on his ongoing exposition of Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians on his programme *Word of Life, Word of Hope*.
He referenced Ephesians 5:4, where the Apostle Paul warns against obscene, silly and vulgar talk, saying the passage had prompted him to reflect on the high moral standards to which Christians are called.
The Presiding Bishop expressed concern about what he described as the promotion and tacit endorsement of such behaviour on social media.
He said political actors and leaders who encourage or tolerate toxic exchanges have a moral responsibility to call their supporters to order and discourage a culture of insults.
The Most Rev. Prof. Asamoah-Gyadu also urged families and close friends to speak up when people around them engage in such conduct.
He stressed that obscene, silly and vulgar talk must not be normalised in Ghanaian society.
