Dr. Joyce Aryee slams National Cathedral critics

As the project’s construction is still on hold, National Cathedral trustee Dr. Joyce Aryee has ignored rising concerns about payments to employees, including CEO Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah.

Speaking openly at a conference on Monday, October 14, organized in association with TD Jakes’ Divinity School, Dr. Aryee called these worries “ridiculous.”

“If a project is on hold, it doesn’t mean that people are not working to keep it going,” Dr. Aryee said in response to public concerns over the project’s delayed progress and its possible effect on staff wages. It’s so absurd that I’m shocked and don’t even want to comment. I won’t remark, sorry. “So you establish an organization, the organization should stop because you don’t have money to continue a certain aspect of the organization?” she asked, challenging the logic behind the critique. Is that it? Respond to it on your own.

Among the many difficulties the National Cathedral project has encountered is public opposition stemming from worries about government intervention and alleged financial mismanagement.

Despite this, the project’s executive director, Dr. Paul Opoku-Mensah, has emphasized that the cathedral serves purposes beyond worship.

In order to dispel the misunderstandings, Dr. Opoku-Mensah emphasized the National Cathedral’s larger purpose, saying that it is “more than a church” and will have a big impact on Ghana’s culture and economics.

The National Cathedral is frequently misinterpreted because it is almost exclusively thought of as a real church structure.

In addition to being a church, the National Cathedral hosts important national, continental, and international discussions, he stated.

After it is finished, the National Cathedral is anticipated to become a famous religious and cultural tourism attraction. Africa’s first Bible Museum, developed in partnership with the Bible Museum in Washington, D.C., will be one of its most notable features. Through the promotion of theological and cultural interchange, it seeks to strengthen ties between Ghana and the African diaspora.

Speaking at the same symposium, Dr. Opoku-Mensah also praised the partnership with TD Jakes’ Divinity School, pointing out that it demonstrates the cathedral’s function in tackling both historical and modern concerns about Africa’s theological contributions. The occasion is a component of continuous initiatives to inform the public about the cathedral’s more general objectives.

Both Drs. Aryee and Opoku-Mensah are hopeful about the project’s future despite the critiques and financial problems, confirming their dedication to seeing it through to completion. They pointed out that the symposium is only one of several efforts to inform the public about the full extent of the cathedral’s function.
