Archbishop Duncan-Williams is the General Overseer of Action Chapel International headquartered in Ghana, and he led a prayer session at the service on Friday.

He has written a number of books, including Born with a destiny (1999), Birth the promises of God in Travail (1999), The incredible power of a praying woman (2009) and Divine Timing (2012).

Donald Trump and Mike Pence along with their spouses and other family members, attended the traditional Inauguration Day church service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington on Friday morning.

The family was joined by about 300 fellow worshipers.

The pair were later sworn in on the steps of the Capitol by the Chief Justice of the United States of America.

The service is known to be a tradition for incoming presidents on the morning of a presidential inauguration, dating back to 1933 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt attended a service with his wife, Eleanor.
