Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, the founder and leader of Lighthouse Chapel International, quit the National Cathedral project's Board of Trustees in August 2022.
According to Citi News, the revered Bishop's resignation letter, which was sent to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral and copied to about 14 people, including the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He was also surprised to find out that, even though the President had "verbally appointed him as such," he had not been properly registered as a Director of the Company of the National Cathedral of Ghana, a company limited by guarantee.
"I have known for a while that I am not a trustee of the National Cathedral, but I have still tried to help with the Cathedral because I believe in the President's vision and I don't have to be a legally registered trustee to do so."
If I say that, as a trustee, I don't know much about the Cathedral's finances and technical issues, it means that people talked about the National Cathedral outside of the trustees' meeting or in a place where I wasn't present or invited.
"On the one hand, the National Cathedral is said to be a project of the government of Ghana, with financial decisions made by the government. No matter what you say about my resignation and ideas, I will still support the National Cathedral project and try to be there when it is finished to celebrate with the rest of the country."
