Adventist Church in Ghana Builds Baptistries Due to Polluted Rivers.
In response to the pollution caused by illegal mining (galamsey) in Northern Ghana, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is constructing baptistries in its churches. The contaminated rivers, once used for baptisms, are now unsafe due to pollution. The church's efforts aim to ensure safe baptismal practices for its 218,000 members. Pastor Edward Nyarkoh, the church's executive secretary, highlighted the severe environmental impact, forcing the church to adapt its ministry.
