Dr. Samuel Pipim is an effective speaker who has addressed diverse groups of youths, students and young professionals, business executives, healthcare professionals, legislatures and institutions, among others. A prolific writer, he has already authored seventeen books and is likely to write more. Not one to quietly allow things to slide through the cracks, he is known to speak boldly and freely on issues that make many squirm. He has over the years spoken extensively and written copiously about issues of Church-growth style, divorce and remarriage, styles of worship, homosexuality, none of which has endeared him to many in favor of emerging trends and liberalized relaxations of orthodoxy in the Christian church. As a result, his works have been subject to heavy criticisms, some of which are subjective and personal in nature, but a reality that fuels his naturally-inquisitive mind and drives him to further research.
In May 2011, Dr. Samuel Koranteng Pipim resigned from his primary work as Director of CAMPUS, after publicly announcing a moral failure while on an overseas trip. Within a few weeks, he resigned from his other public assignments and withdrew from public engagements to deal with the fallouts from his public announcement of his failure and resignations, a period he refers to as his “night.” It was during this nighttime that he started sharing short, inspirational messages with some of his online friends who were discouraged about his situation. These ‘Songs in the Night’ have today become “Weekly Thought Nuggets” that details his own experiences and challenges, inspires, and encourages others.
In response to his public resignation, surrender of ministerial credentials, and submission to disfellowship by his local church, many questions have been raised by those genuinely desirous to know the truth, and those who see Dr. Pipim’s spiritual failure as an occasion to get even. His communications on the issue have been limited to providing basic information with careful regard for privacy and confidentiality of other parties involved. Some of his communications regarding his resignation can be found on his web site: http://drpipim.org/resignation.html.
Out of Christian decency he tried to keep identities and details of those involved confidential to prevent future compromise of their lives. But it was not the case with those who capitalized on his fall to push forward their own personal, ideological, financial, political, racist, and other agendas. With complete disregard for ethics and professionalism, Christian principles and basic tenets of justice, many individuals and groups recklessly confidential information they got or fabricated with no regard for names, locations, identity or other private circumstances of others, including those they claimed to be helping. Going further, some of these people continue to engage in unethical and indecent harassment of organizations, groups, and individuals that are connected to him, stalking some for weeks and months on end and virtually harassing them to dissociate from him. Many web pages and posts have been used to promote the defamatory responses by these individuals and groups.
Dr. Samuel Pipim’s response to all the furor is that he the Lord has graciously given him another chance to put his God-given talents, gifts, successes, and failures, and will not expend this time to focus on those whose wish is to completely remove him from any future service, including even his own personal activities. He and his family are grateful for those who encouraged and supported them in his nighttime even as they made it clear that they did not condone his failure. Without downplaying his moral failure, he reminds those who condemn him that an extensive media trial based on one side of a story does not satisfy requirements for justice by either God or man. He accepts his moral failure but discountenances allegations of rape, and homosexuality as a mischievous and malicious twist of a moral failure on his part by those who seek for him to vanish, or be tarnished, and forever banished.
