Naming and Baptism of Lordina Ackah Adu

Last Saturday in the chapel in Bishopscourt was a naming and baptism. The baby girl is the daughter of Ebeneezer (bishop'd driver)
Tradition says that first there is the naming of the child. It is a ritual that includes asking for the name and then giving to the baby on a spoon both water and wine (use ginger ale) while she is being told that they might look the same but are very different like good and evil. This baby was named after the Bishop, My Lord Ackah so you can see how the name was developed.
Naming

telling her the difference

then the Baptism
