The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has donated GH₵11,500 towards the construction of the National Cathedral of Ghana in fulfilment of an annual budgetary allocation towards the project.The national secretary of the RCCG in Ghana, Samuel Kofi Anna Wilson, who made the donation to the Secretariat at the State Protocols Department said the Church will continue mobilising funds to support the project.Receiving the donation, the Executive Director of the National Cathedral of Ghana, Dr Paul Opoku-Mensah, commended the church for its contributions, and affirmed that the essence of the National Cathedral project is not just to promote the Ghanaian Christian faith but that of Africa in its entirety.“Just as the building of the Temple of Solomon was an epoch-making event not only in Israel but also in the whole world, we believe the building of the National Cathedral is an epochal event not only in Ghana but also in the rest of Africa,” he stated.He added that the project also includes a Bible Museum of Africa, which will be the largest in the world, with a thematic focus on the role of Africa and Africans in the Bible as well as the history and contemporary place of the church in Africa and the African Diaspora.The Executive Director also disclosed arrangements “to engage the Vatican Museum and Library to see whether it would be possible to secure artefacts that would help to make this into a major resource centre for African Christians. The Vatican has been known to provide such assistance in appropriate cases.”“Let us build our National Cathedral to be the epicentre of our lives, the place for our great celebrations, our thanksgiving, our funerals, and the place for great moments of silence and introspection, the place that symbolises the place of faith in our national psyche,” he stated.ALSO READ Christian Teacher Awarded $95,000 In Lawsuit
