Eric Nyamekye

Eric Nyamekye (* 1965) ist ein ghanaischer Theologe und seit 2018 Gesamtvorsitzender der Church of Pentecost, einer der größten pfingstlichen Denominationen Westafrikas. Er steht für eine ganzheitliche gesellschaftliche Transformation durch engagierte Laien, geriet jedoch durch seinen vehementen Einsatz für restriktive Anti-LGBTQ+-Gesetze in Ghana in die Kritik von Menschenrechtsgruppen. Bibellesern begegnet er als einflussreiche Stimme des afrikanischen Christentums, der biblische Grundwerte und ethische Integrität im alltäglichen Berufs- und Lebensumfeld betont.
