This remarkable achievement can be partially attributed to the leadership roles performed by the two faiths’ leaders in constantly keeping their adherents in line and educating them on the importance of peaceful coexistence.
St. Mary Catholic Church has shared photos of its Assistant Parish Priest, Rev Father Martin Delali Attitson joining Muslims at Asamankese to perform Eid-Fitr prayers.
