“We respect the decision of the Chambers Justice and the authority of the Supreme Court of Liberia,” Benson stated on behalf of the Conference. That judgment was subsequently appealed and is now pending before the full bench of the Supreme Court of Liberia for final determination. Following arguments, Justice Kaba declined to issue the Writ of Prohibition and lifted the Stay Order that had been temporarily imposed. Despite the ruling, Benson maintains that the substantive issue of ownership remains before the Supreme Court. “Until the Supreme Court renders its final opinion, the United Methodist Church continues to assert its lawful ownership and administrative authority over the Ganta Mission properties.”Benson reiterated that all properties of the Ganta United Methodist Mission belong exclusively to the United Methodist Church in Liberia and remain under its supervision.
