Bishop Annancy was speaking at the last year's opening of the first session of the 13th synod of the Koforidua Diocese of the Anglican Church at Kwabeng in the Atiwa West District in the Eastern Region.
The synod is being organized on the theme “Being missional and evangelizing church” and is being attended by 140 delegates from the parishes of the church in the diocese.
Bishop Annancy said research indicated that there was direct relationship between the rate of corruption and the rate of poverty in the country.

Bishop Annancy urged the leadership of the various parishes of the church in the diocese to create an enabling environment for the youth to make them feel relevant.
He charged the parishes to come out with plans for expansion and planting of new churches in the communities and towns around them using evangelism, crusades and other outreach programmes.

| Bishop of Ashanti Mampong |
Rt Rev Cyril Ben Smith, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ashanti Mampong called on the Christian church to embark on one village one church to spread Christianity to all communities in the country.
He said lack of aggression to spread Christianity had created space for some magicians who were calling themselves as “bishops and prophets” to enter the available spaces and make pronouncements and introduce religious practices that were alien to the Christian faith.
