Right Reverend Dr Festus Yeboah Asuamah, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Sunyani, called on Christians and the global community to embrace hope, peace and unity in his 2026 Easter message. He said, "The resurrection of Christ is God's decisive response to sin, death and despair, and proves that love has triumphed, light has shattered darkness, and mercy has overcome sin."
Rt. Rev. Asuamah observed that the 2026 Easter season was being marked against a backdrop of global instability, including ongoing wars and conflicts in parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He referenced conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, tensions in Palestine, and unrest in countries including Sudan, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and parts of the Sahel region. He expressed concern over chieftaincy and ethnic conflicts in Ghana, describing them as significant threats to peace and security. He noted that economic instability and injustice were further compounding the challenges faced by many people.
Rt. Rev. Asuamah urged Christians to remain steadfast in faith and to act as agents of peace and light in their communities. He called on individuals, leaders and institutions to commit to building a more just and compassionate society, guided by the values of love, mercy and unity.
