A MORAVIAN MINISTER has decried the rising tide of gun violence that took the life of Andrew King last month.

But, said Reverend Ezra Parris, King’s death should be the catalyst for change and society should get back to the ways of God. andrew-antonio-king

“Change is not going to come through laws and policing alone. What we have is a spiritual problem. What we have in the hearts of young men are hate and evil,” he said.

Parris delivered the sermon yesterday at the Sharon Moravian Church, St Thomas, where family and friends gathered to pay their last respects to the young man who was gunned down in the early hours of February 18. (HLE)
