He explained that he turned to Catholicism because of the influence of his wife and children.
"My wife was a chorister. She was a Catholic and took my household to church, Christ the King. I was not a Catholic, but from the way things were going, I converted to join them.
"My children told me that all the parents and their classmates attend the church, but I always drop them off and leave. So, I thought of this and said that we serve the same God whether we attend the Anglican, the Methodist, or the Catholic church, so I joined them."
Kufuor appeared on the Delay Show, where he also spoke on his affiliations with Freemasonry.
The former president recalled that he joined the Freemasons in 1967 as a young lawyer.
"I joined them because members of my family, my uncle and my senior brother, as well as our friends. People are likely to be afraid of what they do not know."
