Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster and fashion icon, Kofi Okyere Darko, otherwise known as KOD has reacted to Rev Eastwood Anaba’s rebuke to churches giving singing and dancing undue prominence during their services.

It will be recalled that the founder and leader of the Fountain Gate Chapel, in a viral video, raised a thought-provoking concern about the increasing prevalence of entertainment in churches. He argued “many of our churches would die” if the singing, drumming, dancing, keyboard playing and the like were taken out.

In the assertion of the clergyman, he contends that there is an excess of entertainment at the expense of the core purpose of the church – listening to the word of God.

“When you go to these churches, sometimes I just imagine. If there is no drum, there is no organist, there is no guitarist and you take away all the music and the entertainment, many of our churches will die. I mean, you remove that, it will be like the oxygen support has been removed and that is because the entertainment in our churches, sometimes, I think is too much,” he said

However, reacting to the claims made by the renowned man of God, KOD, the prestigious 1957 fashion brand’s CEO, shared a different view on Facebook. According to him, entertainment is not out of place in church, as it helps people cope with the stress of life.

“People are stressed,” he noted, adding: “They need entertainment.

“Imagine the stress of being alive in this day without entertainment?” he questioned.
