In a recent episode of “Hot Issues” on TV3, Apostle Lamptey addressed criticisms aimed at pastors, asserting that “no pastor is lazy or jobless.” His comments come amid ongoing debates surrounding the role of religious leaders in society and their contributions to communities. During the discussion, he argued that pastors work tirelessly to provide spiritual guidance, support their congregations, and engage in various community service activities.
Apostle Lamptey highlighted the multifaceted roles pastors play, often taking on responsibilities beyond their religious obligations, including counselling, educational initiatives, and social welfare programmes. He stressed that the perception of pastors as inactive is a gross misunderstanding of their daily commitments and challenges.
The episode generated significant public interest, reflecting broader societal concerns about the expectations and realities of religious leadership in Ghana. Viewers engaged actively on social media, with many supporting Lamptey’s stance and sharing their experiences of the positive impact pastors have in their lives. The discourse reignited conversations about the importance of recognising the hard work of religious figures and the societal value they bring.
