Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM) has been in the news for some time now over various comments he has made. He was taken to the cleaners when he led his congregation to pray for the cedi which keeps on depreciating against the dollar and other foreign currencies. Archbishop Duncan-Williams in a sermon on Sunday at his church decided to respond to people who have continuously criticized him for spiritually commanding the cedi to rise. He said: ��Until you�ve been where I am and you�ve done better than I, you are not qualified to criticise me so don�t overstep your boundaries. Before you can sit down there and try to subject me to your logic and to your philosophy, ask yourself, what have you accomplished in life?" "I have 300 people on my payroll that I pay every month with IRS, SSNIT and other benefits just in this auditorium alone apart from other places; I oversee over 2,500 churches affiliated with Action Churches that are under my command. You, you haven�t accomplished anything. Just because you�ve been to some school, you can sit down there and you think you have the right to criticise somebody�please give me a break," Archbishop Duncan-Williams stated. Kwesi Pratt who could not believe such comments were coming from a revered man of God told Kwami Sefa Kayi on �Kokrokoo� that �I will stop church if my pastor talks to me like that��. �This is the attitude� Christians who go to church to give offerings for you to better your life are suffering because of hardship and the fall of the cedi. We have a serious problem of this nature�this is not inefficiency� If I attend a church and the pastor talks to me like that I won�t attend that church again� added managing Editor of the Insight newspaper.
