Ghana president cited impact
of Methodism
ACCRA, Ghana (UMNS)—Ghana is
mourning the death of its president, Professor John
Evans Atta Mills, who died July 24. Mills, 68, had been
a Methodist, and he was present when the Methodist
Church of Ghana celebrated 50 years of autonomy from the
British Methodist Church in 2011 at Accra Sports
Stadium.
In a Ghana TV newscast at the
time, he described the church’s impact on his life. “I
am the biggest beneficiary of the Methodist Church’s
autonomy because I owe my education to the Methodist
Church and my childhood training that was given me by
the Methodist Church,” he said. “… Since the church and
state have a common agenda, there is a need for us to
get closer and see what we can do in order to build a
better Ghana.”
Mills died at a military
hospital, but official details on the cause of death
have not been released. Mills, who had served as
president since 2009, was succeeded by his vice
president, John Mahama.
