General Secretary of the National Association of Charismatic and Christian Churches (NACCC), Bishop Gideon Yoofi Titi Offei, believes that there is nothing wrong with building a national Cathedral for a country which is dominated by Christians.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a national cathedral for 70 percent of the population, I think it is in the right direction\u201d, he satetd.<\/p>\n

Government is bent on constructing a national Cathedral to serve as a national non-denominational Christian worship centre for Ghana.<\/p>\n

The building of the Cathedral has caused an uproar in the country with some citizens accusing government of having misplaced priorities as well as wasting the taxpayer\u2019s money.<\/p>\n

In the long term, the government will\u00a0put up new structures<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for judges at Cantonments whose residence may be affected by the project.<\/p>\n

But speaking on\u00a0Eyewitness New son Wednesday, Bishop Titi-Offei indicated that Ghana has been able to make significant strides due to the role of the Christian community, hence government\u2019s plan to construct a national cathedral is not out of place.<\/p>\n

He recounted the number of developmental projects the Christian groups have undertaken in the education and health sectors over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important for us to note that, the Christian community in this country has played a very major role historically towards the development of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christian community are partners of all government to ensure development. 70 percent of Ghanaians are Christians; we built hospitals, schools, universities just to contribute to national development\u201d, the reverend minister mentioned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
