Rev Lawrence Tetteh defends Wesley Girls
Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, a well-known Ghanaian evangelist, has spoken on the ongoing controversy surrounding Wesley Girls’ Senior High School.
In a video spotted by YEN.com.gh, Rev. Dr. Tetteh warned that if the debate is mishandled, it could escalate into a national security issue.
The dispute arose after Wesley Girls’ restricted Muslim students from participating in certain religious practices, including the Ramadan fast, citing its long-standing rules as a Methodist institution.
Dr. Tetteh urged sensitivity and dialogue, highlighting Ghana’s valuable tradition of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims.
He defended the school’s position, noting: “Wesley Girls’ school is a Methodist school. If you are privileged to go to a Methodist school, when you go to Rome, you do what the Romans do.”
He added that students attending faith-based schools should respect the institution’s established ethos. Dr. Tetteh expressed disapproval of taking the issue to court, calling instead for community dialogue.
