Alumnus Protopresbyter Joseph Kwame
Ayete Labi (’80) was there when Ghana was “looking for the Orthodox
Church” in the 1970s. After Fr. Kwame and a group of seekers met Fr. John Meyendorff and Fr. Thomas Hopko,
among others, at the 1974 World Council of Churches in Ghana’s capital
city of Accra, Fr. Kwame embarked on a journey from Africa to St.
Vladimir’s Seminary and back that has seen him help to establish and
strengthen the Orthodox Church in Ghana to the present day.
Fr. Joseph, now the vicar general of the
Archdiocese of Accra, returned to St. Vladimir’s Seminary this summer
and sat down to talk about challenges the Church in Ghana faces today,
the Seminary’s St. Cyprian of Carthage Fund
aimed at helping African seminarians, and what the Seminary's role
could be in strengthening Orthodoxy in his home country in the years
ahead.
Watch an extended conversation with Fr. Joseph below.
