Lawrence Tetteh must stop the hypocrisy

In an article published on May 10, 2024, on Ghanaweb, Pastor Lawrence Tetteh threatens to march to the Jubilee House over the president’s failure to sign the Anti-LGBT+ Bill.

We find Pastor Lawrence Tetteh’s comment awful, hypocritical, and a bluff.

We know that he and his family reside in the UK, a country that, if we analyze his public pronouncements carefully, we will call “Sodom” and "Gomorrah."

Like Lot and his family in the Bible, if there is something that the self-righteous man of God must do, it is to first relocate his family back into the "mess,” as he once described Jamestown.

This would be a noble thing to do to show he is indeed on the moral high ground. As it is now, we find his attack on the clergy only as a show-off.

We want to promise him that we, the clergy, against the Bill, will march alongside him to the Jubilee House to petition the president NOT to sign the Bill that is an affront to the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
