THE CHURCH PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE WHEN DEALING WITH CHALLENGES IN ANY SOCIETY, SAYS ST. KITTS-NEVIS’ MINISTER OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS

Basseterre, St. Kitts, April 02, 2019 (SKNIS): The essential role that the church plays within any society, particularly in response to social challenges and natural disasters, was emphasized by Senior Minister and Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the Honourable Vance Amory, during his meeting with His Lordship, The Most Reverend Robert A. Llanos, Bishop of the Diocese of St. Johns – Basseterre on Monday, April 01, 2019.

“I believe we have to stay firm and strong in being grounded in the church because when we have our challenges – whether it is man-made, or it is natural – the first thing we do leading up to the hurricane season is ask the church to do intercessory prayers for protection against hurricanes,” said the senior minister.
