Rev Dr. Antwi suspended for committing bigamy

A high profile Presbyterian Church priest, Dr Daniel Antwi, has been suspended indefinitely by the General Assembly Council of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

The “man of God” who was the ex-Principal of the Trinity Theological Seminary located, at Legon, was suspended for acting contrary to what he was teaching at the Trinity Theological Seminary.

He was sanctioned for committing “Bigamy”. He wedded a woman outside his wedlock, which the Presbyterian faith frowns upon. The Holy Bible does not expect such immoral turpitude even from its ordinary members, much more from a priest who is supposed to lead by example.

Dr Daniel Antwi who had not divorced his wife wedded another woman at the City Council Hall. This bad news got to Dr Daniel Antwi’s original wife and this became a source of worry to the Presbyterian Church of Ghana who had no option than to suspend him indefinitely.

In Priestly Parlance, his Collar had been removed and that as long as his suspension continues he cannot preach to the faithful flocks
