National Cathedral Is To Thank God For The Peace Ghana Is Enjoying In Africa – Akufo-Addo
“The National Cathedral will not only serve as our collective thanksgiving to the Almighty for the blessings he [God] has bestowed on our nation and for sparing us the ravages of civil war that have bedeviled the histories of virtually all our neighbours and the outbreak of deadly mass epidemics but also as a rallying point for the entire Christian community of Ghana, which represents seventy-plus percent of the population,” President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said.
Prez Akufo Addo made the above-mentioned proclamation at the Ga Presbytery’s centennial celebration at Black Star Square on December 18, 2022.
Some Ghanaians, especially the Minority in Parliament, are concerned about the cathedral.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo laid the Cathedral’s foundation stone on March 5, 2020.
The cathedral will have chapels, a baptistery, a 5000-seat auditorium, a grand central hall, a music school, a choir rehearsal, an art gallery, a shop, and multi-use spaces.
It will house Africa’s first Bible Museum and Documentation Centre, dedicated to Ghanaian Christianity and nation-building.
