A totally wrong-headed idea. What good can possibly be accomplished by bringing together in conversation such diametrically opposite ideologues and dogmatists as lesbian – loving Father Sean Major Campbell and militant anti-gay crusader Phillipa Davies in a conversation about the Church and Sexuality? Neither authoritarian church nor authoritarian state are capable of rationale thought on … More A Futile Conversation
The Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons hit song of the 1960s, covered by Barry Manilow in the 70s and the reggae version released by Winston Reedy in 2021 is as close as rhetoric can come to the feeling of falling instantly and deeply in love – capturing the blissful fascination of those ensnared by … More My eyes adore you
After Rachel Maddow’s expose tonight, I am emboldened to come out and say what I have been holding myself back from saying for some time. One would have to understand the longsuffering involved in coming to this decision. I’ve written down my intercessory story in Natural Mystic. In chapters 9 and 10, I discuss the … More SPLAYED!
The recalcitrant haughtiness of fundamentalism can be as impenetrable as steel. This is most unfortunate especially when the ills of the present time require the kind of flexibility which at least allows one to engage with the adversary (I mean of course diplomatic engagement, not throwing bombs to annihilate them).

It was just a few years ago that my friend who happened to lead one of the several Father’s support organizations in the island approached me with the predicament that the men’s movement was having. A woman’s organization had announced its launch on Father’s day, which was a perceived affront to all ‘di man dem’ … More Faith of our Fathers and Cultural Friction
“But where there are prophecies, they will cease” Since Nov 13th 2020, I’ve largely remained silent on Donald Trump. I had made a pronouncement then, it would be fair to call it a prediction, given very much in prophetic style though I was clear in stating then that I was making no claim of speaking … More Pray for Donald Trump 2
“Babylon System is a vampire, sucking the blood of the sufferers.” I’m getting increasingly intolerant of those ignoramuses that still abound whose brains and bellies are tagged ‘product of the USA’ or ‘made in the UK’ schooled in classical *‘Perkinsian’ economics, believing Britain better, trained to smooch the nether parts of political and religious empire, … More Lef’ my people Gold
The time has come to move from rhetoric to action, but even this challenge could become another case of rhetoric, if we do not design the institutions through which action can be achieved. – Michael Manley Errol Miller’s latest two volume work, Elections and Governance: Jamaica on the Global Frontier – The Colonial Years and … More Institutional Design
