AN ANGLICAN PRIEST is looking for the light to shine on Barbados.

Speaking at a service to kick off the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Barbados Hospitality Institute at St Matthias Anglican Church yesterday morning, rector Hugh Sandiford said he was looking for some comfort from the recent tragedies.

They included an elderly woman being killed by a pack of dogs two Saturdays ago, and a day later, a road accident that claimed the lives of four young people.

“I think Barbados needs it more than ever now. We’ve started on a sad note – in the last week we had four young persons died, we had a mauling. So we need folks to really let our lights shine to bring some measure of solace, some measure of comfort, and to offer hope to our society,” he said. (YB)
