A 24-member delegation from the Apostles Revelation Society (ARS) yesterday  paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Chieftaincy and Culture, Mr Alexander Asan-Ahensah, to formally announce the death of their leader and spiritual Primate, James Kwaku Amegah.

The late Amegah 91, died on March 11, 2010 leaving behind 24 children and a wife.

Led by an elder of the church, Professor Wisdom Gagakuma, the delegation used the opportunity to introduce to the minister and the government the newly-appointed High Priest of the church.

According to the family, funeral rites had been performed for Amega, adding that the final memorial and thanksgiving service would be held on the December 25, 2010.

Prof. Gagakuma said the thanksgiving ceremony would coincide with the church’s 71st annual anniversary celebration.

Prof. Gagakuma stated that the head primate worked tirelessly to ensure total salvation for heathens, which transcended the borders of Ghana to neighbouring African countries, and had also presided over 500 branches all over the world.

The late Amegah was succeeded by the son of the founder of the church, Nunorlaga Nyeenyami Etsey Wovenu.

Prof. Gagakuma said Nunorlaga Wovenu was appointed through a prophecy by the church and ordained by the Governing Body of the Church on the May 23, 2010.

The delegation presented three schnapps to the ministry as tradition demands.

Receiving the delegation, Mr Asum-Ahensah paid glowing tribute to the memory of the late Primate.

He said “we are told the Primate was a man of God, who dedicated his life to the spread of the gospel to Africa and European countries”.

Mr Asum-Ahensah stated that the gesture showed that the Primate had the nation at heart.

He assured the delegation of the government’s representation at the memorial and thanksgiving service.

The ARS was founded by the late Prophet C.K.N. Wovenu on November 2, 1939.
