TWO MEN OF THE CLOTH yesterday took different views about the recent upsurge in crime and violence as the island concluded its Weekend of Prayer.
A third has called for a “deeper investigation” into how guns and drugs are finding their way into Barbados.
However, Prime Minister Mia Mottley stressed that Government, in partnership with the church and other social groups, could turn the country around.
“We have, as a nation, to ‘hold each one’ and the Government has enough resources, but we’re sending piece there and piece there instead of bringing everybody into a single mission – to save our families. If we in Government, in partnership with the church and groups with similar minds, are prepared to save our families from St Lucy to St Philip, we can turn this country around and shun the forces of evil which want to take over,” she said.
She was speaking at Sanctuary Empowerment Centre, Country Road, St Michael, where Bishop Dr Marlon Husbands anointed her head and feet with oil, and held special prayers for her as well as for the country. (CA)
