“I respectfully ask that in memory of the Late President Jerry John Rawlings that you join me and the Action Chapel network of churches worldwide, in a day of memorial and corporate prayer on Monday. 16th November from 12 noon to 1 pm GMT (7am EST) at the Prayer Cathedral, Spintex Road, Accra or you can join us online on Facebook Live on ArchbishopNick”, a statement from the revered man of God announced.

In the statement, Archbishop Duncan-Williams also paid his profound tribute to the former statesman and founder of one of Ghana’s leading political party; the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Duncan-Williams described Rawlings as a man who always put Ghana first.

“I will remember him for putting Ghana first. Now is the time to focus on the good that he did and the contributions he made, to extend forgiveness and grace where he missed it. He himself had some deep regrets. The best contribution we can all make to his legacy is to unite as Ghanaians and put country first: to build together as citizens of a community rather than divided peoples of parties and tribes. We should care less about self-enlargement and the things that divide us, as he did,” Duncan-Williams wrote in the statement.
