Abstract:
Increasing migration and its attendant repercussions have gradually created many
unfavourable conditions in the city of Accra. The situation poses big challenges to
both the local and national development agenda. Religious institutions, including
the Church – which occupy an important place in the lives of Accra residents – have
roles to play. This study proposes as one of the most effective approaches to the
current situation, for theological institutions to overhaul and revise their educational
strategies and goals. This is possible through a properly designed and regulated
training scheme that gives adequate orientation and guidance to both faculty and
students of theological institutions in Accra. Only through a conscious rethinking,
reimagining and restructuring of existing training programmes and approaches can
new attitudes and actions be expected, in relation to the social fractures in the city.
The study adopts a qualitative approach with a multi-disciplinary and multi perspective thrust.
