Controversial Anglican priest Reverend Charles Morris has apparently run afoul of his public service bosses.
Morris, a teacher at Combermere School, confirmed this week that he had received a letter from Permanent Secretary Cecile Humphrey of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, asking him to explain comments he made earlier this year that were critical of the Government.
While Morris would offer no comment beyond confirming he had received the correspondence, sources provided the DAILY NATION with a copy, which read: “I have been apprised of an article which appeared on Page 20 of the Daily Nation newspaper of February 3, 2014, under the caption Morris Chastises Church For Silence Amidst Decay. The article included statements about the ‘current Government’ which were attributed to you . . . .
“Please submit your comments by Tuesday, April 15, 2014.”
In an address to a People’s Assembly discussion organised by the Opposition Barbados Labour Party (BLP), the Anglican cleric said too many church leaders were more interested in titles than serious theological discussion and they were sitting quiet in the face of societal decline.
