President: We’re drowning in inhumanity

He said, “I do recall as every young man would, growing up in rural TT, the Shouter Baptists preaching the word of God and His beneficence and Hell’s damnation.

“Those admonitions, as the bells they rang, resonate today, relevant and timely.” Reflecting on the state of affairs today, Carmona said, “It is therefore timely and relevant that we celebrate today the perseverance and the human resilience of the Spiritual Baptist community.” He appealed to citizens to, “Not lose hope, as a nation, in our capacity to get things right and put things right. The Spiritual Baptist movement has demonstrated that hope lives eternal.” Reflecting on the struggles of the Spiritual Shouter Baptists, Carmona said today “celebrates a defining victory in our burgeoning democracy.” He said the Spiritual Shouter Baptist faith had “further demonstrated that a belief in the supremacy of God can progressively propel any nation.” Against this background, Carmona said, “We must therefore stand proud as a nation, that we had the strength of character and foresight to correct a wrong of the past.”
