The Seventh Day Adventist Church has suspended renowned musician Isaac Ampong, popularly known as Great Ampong, according to a report by Kumasi-based Angel FM.
The suspension follows several weeks of investigations into Ampong’s activities, which were deemed contrary to the church’s beliefs and tenets.
Specifically, Ampong was found to have performed at funerals and other events on Saturdays, violating the Sabbath day observance.
Furthermore, Ampong’s recent ordination as a pastor while traveling outside Ghana was seen as the final straw, leading to his suspension.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church emphasizes the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy, and Ampong’s actions were deemed to be in direct conflict with this fundamental belief.
The suspension serves as a reminder of the church’s commitment to upholding its principles and values, and the consequences of failing to adhere to them.
Great Ampong, known for his soulful voice and inspirational songs, has been a prominent figure in the Ghanaian music industry.
His suspension has sparked mixed reactions among fans and church members, with some expressing disappointment and others supporting the church’s decision.
