Zusammenfassung:	The celebration of the Eucharist is the centre of Christian life. So this research examines the Eucharist in a systematic, theological and intercultural way of meal-sharing among Akans of Ghana. The focus of this study is to discover ways of assisting Akan Christians to revere this sacrament just as their communal meal which brings an entire household together without exclusion. This attempt resulting from inculturation has become a significant part of today’s evangelization in enhancing an active, full and conscious participation of Christians in local Churches in celebrating this sacrament. Although inculturation has not been considered officially by the Church until the Second Vatican Council, now is the time for such an inclusion since the use of local elements in the evangelization process speeds up the process of understanding the Gospel message by local Christians such as the Akans of Ghana. Secondly, the practice of inviting people of other denominations to partake in the celebration of the Eucharist/Lord’s Supper is also important in the wake of ecumenism since traditional meal-sharing among Akans has no exclusion.This attempt resulting from inculturation has become a significant part of today’s evangelization in enhancing an active, full and conscious participation of Christians in local Churches in celebrating this sacrament.This is necessary since nobody can share in the life of Jesus Christ unless the person eats his Body and drinks his Blood as Jesus has commanded (John. 6:53-56).
