Worshipping in peace a blessing

Over the weekend 44 worshippers were killed in Egypt. All they were doing is worshipping God and some individuals saw it fit to bomb them.

We are in the week leading to Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and thousands of people all over TT will be congregating. Thank God they can do this with a sense of peace and safety. This is also the case with all other religious celebrations throughout the country.

It is important that this freedom of worship not be taken for granted, even in this Holy Week. I appeal to all our leaders and also our citizens to do their best to ensure that no one takes this away from us. Let us guard our freedom which goes with true democracy.

As a wise people it is important that we take note of what is happening around us and be always alert.
