The Right Reverend Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has called on Ghanaians to be tolerant and defend the country's integrity.
He also asked them to eschew laziness and work hard towards the transformation of the nation.
Rt-Rev. Dr. Frimpong-Manso made the call at the ceremony to elevate the Fafraha Victory Presbyterian Church into a district status, at Fafraha near Adenta in the Greater Accra Region on Sunday.
It was under the theme 'Praising God, expecting more, working harder'.
Rt-Rev. Dr. Frimpong-Manso stressed the need for the people to do away with apathy and social vices such as armed robbery, violence and back-biting, which he said hindered national development.
