The immediate Past Moderator of the
Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Very Rev Yaw Frimpong-Manso has explained why he decided to resign from the church citing unfair treatment as one of the reasons.
At a press conference in Accra on Monday, Rev
Frimpong-Manso said the church in Ghana did not deal with him fairly hence his
decision.
He denied allegations that he had blessed a gay
marriage at the Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church of the Presbytery of New
York in the United States of America where he was currently serving.
At the end of his tenure as the Moderator of
the church in Ghana, Very Rev. Frimpong-Manso was seconded by the church to
serve with the Emmanuel Presbytery in New York.
In a letter dated July 10, 2015, Very Rev.
Frimpong-Manso wrote to inform the church that the Emmanuel Presbytery had
extended his status as a designated pastor for six years, which had been
approved by the City of New York Presbytery with retrospective effect from
April 1, 2015.
The General Assembly Council in Ghana was
unable to accept his position and asked him to return to Ghana by December 31,
2015 for re-assignment in accordance with the ordinary and normal schedules of
the church.
However, by a letter dated October 15, 2015,
Very Rev. Frimpong-Manso notified the General Assembly Council (GAC) of his
decision to resign from the service of the church.
