Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the founder and senior pastor of the Action Chapel, has expressed shock at the seemingly conflicting concerns held by Christians regarding the construction of the National Cathedral.
Some Christians are opposed to the intervention, according to Archbishop Duncan-Williams, a member of the National Cathedral of Ghana Board of Trustees, because it is not their political party that is building it.
He emphasized that God created the structure and that it is His property.
He claimed that because the building bears God’s name, it belongs only to the person in whose name it was constructed.
“This National Cathedral does not belong to any individual, it bears the name of Yahweh,” Archbishop Duncan-Williams said in a video that the National Cathedral posted on social media.

He continued by saying that whenever we enter the prayer room, we pray in the name of “him” who created the heavens and the earth, which is above all other names.
Due to a lack of funding, the Cathedral project is currently on hold.
The National Cathedral project is still the most sleazy, careless, sacrilegious, and scandalous undertaking in all of Ghana’s history, according to Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the member of parliament for North Tongu.
In other news, the National Peace Council is concerned about the dispute between Archbishop Charles Agyinasare and Nogokpo Traditional Authorities and statements made by religious figures on the matter.
A recent sermon by Archbishop Agyinasare reportedly referred to the Nogokpo community as the “demonic headquarters of the Volta Region,” which sparked the controversy.
The National Peace Council in response statement urged both parties to remain calm and not provoke further conflict.
The council calls for restraint and circumspection from those affected and the media. The Volta Regional Peace Council is engaging the parties for an amicable resolution.
The council reminds Ghanaians of the need to maintain peace and unity.
