THE REASON WHY CROWS IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE WHITE COLOR

 

“In this new collection of Ghanaian stories and proverbs, we are given a rare look at how people's oral traditions and folklore embody the ethos and pathos of their culture. Through her storytelling, Sister Rosina embraces a way of bearing witness and revealing the greatest truths of living to others. In her native country of Ghana, West Africa, stories are used to teach morals, ethics, spirituality, hospitality, and character and to help shape a more profound spiritual way of seeing and being. These stories are passed on by rote from one generation to the next. Sister Rosina-the first woman in her family to assume the mantle of an ancestral storyteller-is the keeper of a treasure trove of proverbs. Stories she learned by memory from her immediate family, her parents, grandparents, and beyond. Their lessons shaped her spiritual development and choice of vocation, leading to a religious calling within The Episcopal Church and greater Anglican Communion as a nun and priest serving others in a ministry of Christ.”

About the Author

The Rev. Sister Rosina A. Ampah is a marvelous Storyteller who has taught spiritual lessons and wisdom her entire life. As a young child, she first received a call to religious life at a church altar in Ghana, West Africa. Where she was told then, in a time before women could be ordained, that God wanted her to know that one day she would become an Anglican priest. Years later, she joined the Order of Saint Helena, becoming a Sister of the Oder and an Episcopal priest. In this ministry, her storytelling has touched the spiritual lives of the young and old in profound ways.
