I do not report on the crimes of Christian pastors who live abroad very often. Perhaps I should include more coverage. The stories are almost always more outlandish and unbelievable. Like this one.
THE MADINA Police have arrested a 27-year-old pastor, Bright Addo for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old Junior High School student at his Ritz Junction Area residence at Madina, a suburb of Accra.
Pastor Addo was said to have taken advantage of the girl’s weakness after the sex act and shaved off her pubic hair as she lay on the bed.
There is something tragic about the convergence of Christianity and traditional religions. Pastor Bright Addo used a special bath to cleanse his young victim of evil spirits prior to raping her. It is easy to see the connection between superstition and Christianity. It's almost as if Christianity provides the control mechanism while traditional religions provide the magic which allows con men like Addo to work his nefarious crimes.
