Presby Church accepts resignation of Rev Frimpong Manso
Sunday 17th April , 2016 11:55am
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana has accepted the resignation of its immediate past moderator, Very Reverend Dr. Yaw Frimpong-Manso.
This development means that Rev. Frimpong-Manso forfeits all rights, titles, privileges and protocols that he would have otherwise enjoyed as immediate past moderator of the General Assembly of the Church.
The church has therefore written a letter to its members to announce this.
In the letter, the church stated that its leadership was saddened by the action taken by the former Moderator.
“This unprecedented action taken by a former Moderator and the ensuing debate on the airwaves, saddened the leadership and the entire membership of the church greatly and so became the subject of intense prayer and supplication while some senior members of the church appealed to him to reconsider his decision,” it stated.
The church also stated in the letter that it invited Very Rev. Frimpong Manso for an exit interview but he requested that the clerk of the GA meet him in New York rather.
“In accordance with this policy, the Clerk of the GA wrote to the Very Rev. Dr. Yaw Frimpong-Manso, inviting him to meet with the Clerk in Accra for an exit interview. The church offered to provide him with a return ticket for purpose of the said interview. In a letter dated November 25, 2015, Very Rev. Dr. Frimpong-Manso declined the invitation to travel to Accra for the interview and instead requested that the Clerk of the GA travels to New York to meet with him there.”
The church has therefore stated its acceptance of the resignation after meeting with the former Moderator.
“The acceptance of his resignation was formally communicated to him by the GA Clerk’s letter dated 21st Marc, 2016, in which it was stated that as a consequence of his resignation, he ceases to be a Reverend Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana effective 16th March, 2016,” it said.
