President Nana Addo Dankwa-Akufo has urged Christians in Ghana, Africa, and beyond to contribute financially to the nation’s future cathedral.
If Christians accepted the challenge, he believed it could be completed in a couple of weeks and that everyone would immediately recognize its value.
He mentioned the seven benefits of the cathedral that
- Provide an inter-denominational space for worship
- Will place God at the centre of nation-building efforts
- Provide an official venue of worship for state occasions in a predominantly Christian nation
- Serve as a fulcrum for propagating the Christian faith
- Unify the Christian Community
- Serve as a tribute to religious liberty
- More importantly, it will serve as our collective thanksgiving to the Almighty for the blessings he has bestowed on our nation, sparing us the ravages of civil war that have bedeviled the histories of virtually all our neighbours and the outbreaks of mass epidemics.
Akufo Addo said that by acting as a recognized location for state-sponsored religious activities, the cathedral will fill a critical need in the nation’s spiritual infrastructure.
