Founder and General Overseer, United Denominations of Action Chapel Churches Worldwide, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and President of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries, Rev. Eastwood Anaba have resigned from the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral.
A statement co-signed by the two revered clergymen dated October 12, 2023, cited the government’s failure to audit the project funds to restore public confidence as the basis for their decision.
“Despite our prayers, best hopes and wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we awaited news to no avail, regarding the finding of the audit.
“We, therefore, regret that as a matter of conscience and faith, we hereby submit to you our resignation from the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral,” the statement noted.
According to the two respected clergymen, their action does not impugn the vision or intent of the National Cathedral.
They, however, contended that their gesture would rather ensure advancement on the foundation of integrity, efficiency and quality while garnering and maintaining public trust and support.
“We remain confident that one day your vision of a National Cathedral of Ghana that provides a ‘sacred space and infrastructure’ for formal religious and other activities in the nation, such as state funerals, presidential inaugural services, and global gatherings that advance faith peace, reconciliation, stability and a better world, while supporting tourism as a promising pillar of Ghana’s economy, will be realised in our lifetime.
“We believe that you will always stand as the visionary and the architect of this vision and trust that a dream deferred is not a dream denied,” they stressed.
Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba ceased the medium and asked President Akufo-Addo to accept the assurances of their prayers.
