The General Secretary of the Bible Society of Ghana, Very Rev. Dr. John Kwesi Addo Jnr, has asked all Societies, Branches, Temples, or Assemblies and churches and Ghanaians to appreciate who they are in Christ first, and allow the peaceful Christlike nature to dictate our behaviours before, during and after the 2024 general elections. This is because the Bible enjoins all to make every effort to live in peace with everyone.
