GHANAIAN METHODIST SPIRITUALITY IN RELATION WITH NEO- PENTECOSTALISM

Abstract

Contemporary Ghanaian Methodist spirituality exhibits varied religious tendencies. A cursory look at some activities which take place at the Church’s prayer centres reveals worship patterns of the historical Wesleyan Tradition, patterns of the Pentecostal and Neo-Charismatic. To understand how worship patterns promote harmonious religious environments for members of the Church, the study examined some of the practices which could have possibly informed such religious expressions within the Methodist Church Ghana (MCG). The findings revealed a religious disposition fashioned to reflect the Church’s foundational heritage, tempered with ecumenical models integrated to address the Ghanaian cultural context
