According to Mahama, the Assemblies of God Centenary Village won't go the way of several national cathedrals.
Members of the Assemblies of God Church have received assurances from former president John Mahama that the development of the church's centennial town will go smoothly.
He asserts that the undertaking "will not suffer the fate of some national cathedrals."
Mr. Mahama, a member of the church, said he will put his shoulders behind the wheel to ensure the project's smooth completion, in what looked to be a mocking reference to the now-stalled National Cathedral project.
He spoke these things at Reverend Stephen Wengam's installation as the church's new general superintendent.
The Pentecost Conference Center won't compare to our Centenary Village since it will be both larger and more attractive. "May it avoid the demise of a few national cathedrals I am aware of," he prayed.
"We will construct this one, and I will serve as one of the principal fundraisers," Mahama continued.
The Assemblies of God Church is thought to have opened its doors in Ghana in about 1931. To commemorate its 100 years of existence in the nation, the Church is preparing.
The church plans to commission the Centennial Village as one of its initiatives shortly.
To compete with the Pentecost Convention Center, which Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, the previous chairman of Mr. Mahama's party, brags about, this, according to Mr. Mahama, must be done.
Mahama has meantime urged clerics to tell the truth to authority.
His view is that the church, which acts as society's moral compass, must actively participate in national governance.
Mr. Mahama stated the church should not be selective in its criticism of people in charge of the nation's affairs while speaking at the induction ceremony for the new general superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church.
He believes that if the church speaks up bravely on societal challenges, regardless of whose bull gets gored, progress will move significantly.
