PRESIDING BISHOP EULOGIZES LATE CPP STALWART
The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church,
Ghana, Most Reverend Emmanuel Asante, has eulogized the late Evangelist Samuel
Kwabena Danso for his selflessness and devotion to the work of God and mankind
during his stay on earth.
According to the Presiding Bishop, in spite of his fame as an astute politician and position in the Methodist Church, Evangelist Danso remained very humble and faithful to his maker until his demise.
The late Evangelist Danso’s life must therefore be an inspiration for the transformation of both Christians and non-believers still alive. Most Rev. Asante gave the advice at a Requiem at the Wesley Cathedral in Kumasi today, Tuesday September 15 to commemorate one week of the passing away of Evangelist Danso.
The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church asked the living not to be carried away by their wealth, status in society or anything worldly to go contrary to the direction of God since all such things are vanity.
Instead, people particularly Christians to always seek to please God with eternal life after death as the ultimate objective in all their endeavours.
On his part, the Kumasi Archdiocesan Bishop of the Methodist Church, Right Reverend Osei Sarfo Kantanka, also paid glowing tribute to the late Danso who, he said not only served as the first Diocesan Lay Chairperson of the Church, but played an influential role at the Wesley Cathedral of the church.

He thanked God for the life of the man and asked the immediate family to take solace in the fact that the man did his best for the gospel.
