AS BARBADIANS PREPARE to celebrate Crop Over, a Methodist minister has said that Christians should consider staying away from certain events like Grand Kadooment.
Reverend Ezra Barker said that despite wearing modest costumes and even with the best Christian intentions, their presence in the revelry could be misconstrued.
“If someone is a Christian and they want to please God, there are certain things they just won’t do,” Barker said, as he quickly explained he was only talking about “certain aspects” of the festival.
“Christians have to be very careful. Christians can’t go and wear a costume and get into bands because the very people who are in the band with them will criticise them and say, ‘We thought you were a Christian. What you doing out here?’ ” (HLE)
