National Cathedral doesn't belong to any individual but Yahweh — Duncan-Williams

The founder and Head Pastor of the Action Chapel, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has expressed dismay at the seemingly opposing concerns by Christians as regards the building of the National Cathedral.

Archbishop Duncan-Williams who is a member of the National Cathedral of Ghana Board of Trustees said some Christians are opposing the intervention because it is not their political party that is building it.

He emphasized that the edifice is of God and belongs to Him.

He stated that the facility bears the name of God, thus it doesn't belong to any individual except to the one in whose name it was built.

This National Cathedral does not belong to any individual, it bears the name of Yahweh, he said in a video shared on social media by the National Cathedral.

He added that the name of 'him' who created the heavens and the earth and whenever we go in there to pray, we pray in that name that is above every other name.

The Cathedral project is currently on hold due to a lack of funding.

Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said the National Cathedral project remains the most sleazy, reckless, sacrilegious, and scandalous mission by the sheer magnitude and audacity in the entire history of Ghana.
