The Role of the Church of Scotland in Ghana 1972–2022
This article examines the Church of Scotland's involvement in Ghana from 1972 to 2022, tracing its evolution from direct missionary presence to partnership relationships. It explores contributions to Presbyterian church governance, education and theological scholarship, while addressing challenges including worship divergence, sexuality disputes and the gradual decline of Scottish influence amid growing Ghanaian church independence, as well as the significant theological contribution of Professor Kwame Bediako on Scotland.
