• TITLE: Separation of Church and State: A Study of Accra City’s Use of Public Buildings and Schools for Religious Services in Ghana

  AUTHORS: Ishmael D. Norman

  KEYWORDS: Separation of Church and State; Use of School Buildings; Use of Public Buildings; Religious Worship; Ghana

  JOURNAL NAME: Advances in Applied Sociology, Vol.3 No.7, November 18, 2013

  ABSTRACT: This is a review of the Constitutional provisions on freedom of religion in Ghana and to determine whether the Constitution offers to religious bodies the use of public buildings and schools as places of worship. This study consisted of literature and documentary review of cases, the 1992 Constitution and legal writings from Ghana and other jurisdictions on the issue of separation of Church and State. The legal framework for freedom of religion does not include the commingling of public asset with private religious expressions, which goes against the zoning regulations and public policy on noise pollution and nuisance.
