The Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel International, Nicholas Duncan-Williams, says he still loves his son, Daniel Duncan-Williams, despite his actions and outburst on social media.
Reacting to his son’s nude videos that had gone viral, the Archbishop and family said their son has a serious illness and is battling with acute bipolar disease for the past six years.
“We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent, but understand that he has a serious illness,” the statement on Tuesday said.
According to the statement, “Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication.”
“This is a test of his faith. I acknowledge the situation my son is in,” he noted, adding that, “I still love him. Please pray for us.”
He also urged the public to respect their privacy as they navigate through this time.
