AN ANGLICAN PRIEST is calling on churches and Christians across Barbados to help those involved in violence and gun crimes to turn away from their wicked ways.

As he lamented the growing gunplay in the nation and called on the youth to put away the guns, Canon Curtis Goodridge, rector of St Lucy’s Parish Church, challenged fellow believers to take the lead in showing young people how to turn to Jesus Christ and live better lives.

“You and I must be in the forefront in showing this way to our youth, while others are apportioning blame. You and I who are part of the body of Jesus Christ must tell our young people that God’s desire for them is that they should come to the saving knowledge of His son Jesus Christ,” he told his congregation yesterday morning during a service marking the Rural Development Commission’s (RDC) 20th anniversary.
