The Tema Ghana Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints welcomed the Venerable Dr. George Kotei Neequaye, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Tema, accompanied by members of the Anglican delegation on August 16, 2026.
The visit provided an opportunity for leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Anglican leaders to learn more about each other’s work, strengthen interfaith relationships and explore opportunities for collaboration in serving communities.
Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints briefed the Anglican delegation on the Church’s presence in Ghana, including its humanitarian, educational, family-strengthening and community-service initiatives. Tema Ghana Stake President Stephen Abu Jr. explained that the Church’s role extends beyond providing places of worship to supporting the total well-being of individuals and families.
The delegation toured the Stake’s Gathering Place, learning about programs including Seminary and Institute, Succeed in School and BYU-Pathway Worldwide. They also learned about the Help Start Education Foundation, which provides free laptops to BYU-Pathway students to support access to higher education and skills development.

The Anglican delegation expressed appreciation for the Church’s practical approach to education and community service, particularly its openness in making the Gathering Place available to the wider community.
“It has been a privilege to visit The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to see firsthand its commitment to serving individuals, families and the wider community,” said Bishop Neequaye.
“As Christians, we are united by our desire to follow the example of Jesus Christ by reaching out to those in need and helping people develop their God-given potential. We believe there are meaningful opportunities for our two faith communities to learn from one another and work together in service to society.”
President Abu added, “We welcome opportunities to work alongside other faith communities to strengthen communities and bless lives.”
Guided by the Savior's commandment to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:39), and that truth and goodness can be found among all His children, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seeks to build constructive relationships with other faith-based organizations and stakeholders. The Church also embraces the principle expressed in the Thirteenth Article of Faith: "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Consistent with this belief, Latter-day Saints willingly cooperate with people of other faiths to strengthen families, serve those in need, promote religious freedom, and improve communities.
