National Cathedral: “I believe if I am in a place and I can’t make a difference, then it is better I leave quietly”- Archbishop Duncan Williams opens up

Months after resigning from the board of trustees of the controversial National Cathedral Project, the Founder of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, has finally broken his silence, revealing why he decided to step down.

Speaking at a collaborative dialogue with other prophets in Accra, the Archbishop stated that his inability to effect positive change while serving on the board led to his departure.

“I believe if I am in a place and I can’t make a difference, then it is better I leave quietly. I don’t want to become an enemy. I don’t like fighting people,” Duncan Williams explained, emphasising his desire to avoid conflicts and maintain peace.

In October 2023, Duncan Williams, along with three other clergymen, resigned from their roles on the board of trustees of the National Cathedral project, citing a lack of transparency as a primary concern.

This move sparked widespread discussion, with many questioning the reasons behind their decision.

The Archbishop addressed these speculations, noting, “They say I was NPP because I was on the National Cathedral Board; it was one of the reasons I delayed stepping down after a while when I had some concerns. One of the reasons I left is that I believe if I am in a place and I can’t make a difference, then it is better I leave quietly.”

He also touched on the importance of prioritising the nation’s welfare over political affiliations, saying, “Let the good of Ghana be above any loyalty to any political party. People have always asked me which political party I belong to because sometimes they say I am NDC and sometimes they say I am NPP.”

Meanwhile, the National Peace Council has advised prophets to refrain from predicting the outcomes of elections, warning that such predictions could lead to unnecessary tensions and divisions among their congregations, which may have members belonging to various political parties.

This call aims to ensure that religious leaders promote unity and peace, especially in politically charged environments.
