In 1960 the Methodist Church Ghana became autonomous from the British Conference of the Methodist Church. Today, over three decades later, she continues to follow the British-Western cultural patterns in theology and worship. African theological beliefs and cultural practices are still foreign to her church. As a result, members practice their traditional beliefs outside of the church and Western cultural norms in the church. This is a problem the church has not been able to address. This paper will attempt to highlight some of the African practices, examine their theological relevance, and evaluate them. I will examine why the church is still pro-Western after nearly 40 years of autonomy, and make recommendations as to why she should focus on her traditional concepts in the new millennium to influence her changing them, and or incorporating them in her worship, practices, and beliefs.
