Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng said the distinguished clergymen serving on the 13-member committee are resourceful enough to build a temple for interdenominational prayers for Christians.

The government has received a lot of backlash following the decision to build a National Cathedral for state events.

Many believe building a Cathedral is a waste of taxpayers’ money and discriminatory to other religious bodies.

But speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Wednesday, Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng said there was no cause for alarm.

He stated that the government was only providing the land as the committee provides funding.

Rev. Boateng noted that the government had supported religious projects in the past and so facilitating the construction of the national cathedral would be nothing new.

The man of God urged Ghanaians to look beyond the material things and focuse on the cohesion the edifice will bring to the various Christian denominations in the country.
