Abstract:
New Religious Movements Televangelism in Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Central Region of Ghana enlightens one about the nature of New Religious Movements Televangelism practices and their influence on women. The impetus for the study was derived from the need to identify the true stance with regards to the impact of televangelism on women as a result of scholarly inconsistencies. The study adopted a mixed methods research approach. Purposive sampling technique was used to elicit the views of 200 congregants. Data was gathered by means of self-designed questionnaire consisting largely of Likert – type items. The study shows that televangelism practices exert both negative and positive effects on women with the negatives outweighing the positives. The study recommends that the Televangelists should be open and willing to be accountable to their worshippers by providing adequate information that would encourage viewers to support their ministries.
