General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Rev. Dr Paul Frimpong-Manso, says some Ghanaians have failed to look at the future purposes of the National Cathedral.
According to the man of God, the National Cathedral when erected will to a large extent, bring Ghana together as a nation and lift us up as a nation under God.
The President of Ghana Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday, March 6, 2017, cut the sword for the construction of a 5000 seater national cathedral for interdenominational worship in Accra.
Some structures will be pulled down to make way for the project. Buildings like the Scholarship Secretariat, the Passport Office and some nine bungalows occupied by Appeals Court Judges have been earmarked for demolition.
Speaking to Kaakyire Ofori Ayim on Atinka AM Drive, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church and a member of the board of trustees for the National Cathedral explained that the criticisms against the National Cathedral are based on prejudices "with no one bothering to look at the benefits of the country having the facility.
According to him, the 5000 -seater building will serve as a place where national ceremonies will be held.
Meanwhile, the Former National Youth Organiser of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr, Popularly Known as "Kabila" is currently at the Supreme Court, seeking to quash the government decision.
According to him, Government has no business to construct any edifice for a religious sect or organise religious pilgrimage such as the hajj.
