AFTER SHOOTINGS THAT claimed the lives of two Christ Church residents in less than 24 hours last week, one religious minister in the parish is crying out for an intervention.

At the funeral service of long-time resident Angela DeRoudge on Saturday at the New Life Tabernacle in Kendal Hill, assistant pastor Bernard Young spoke passionately on the violence that has gripped the surrounding neighbourhoods and Barbados on a whole.

He said that villagers were living in fear and he called for peace to prevail.

However, he stressed that peace could not occur without God’s involvement, and that was why he made a plea to Prime Minister Freundel Stuart to declare a national day of prayer. (SDB Media)
