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). The other option of course … More Inter-Faith Dialogue or Demonization
The title does seem vague and somewhat curious, but the theme of this year’s Emancipation Day Conversation was not pulled out of a hat. It is the continuation of a contiguous conversation we at the Caribbean Christian Leadership Network have been having for over five years. One can review from the beginning and recognize the … More The Church and Socio-economic development
One of the earliest claims for reparations was made in 1962 by the Rt Excellent Alexander Bustamante and the young Edward Phillip George Seaga then visiting the British parliament in negotiating upcoming Jamaican independence. It was Mr. Seaga who pointed out in stark terms the absolute social mess the British were leaving Jamaica’s incoming new government to … More Land of my Birth
“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

I check my past blog articles fairly regularly to patrol what video references may have become defunct i.e. (have been taken down by Google). My subject matter has evidently very disturbing potential (the purpose of the trumpet is to ‘sound secrets never spoken’. I have understood that there is tremendous energy invested in not knowing … More Hypocrites or Hypnotized?
Tonight was my first visit to King’s House since it’s present occupant, Governor General Sir Patrick Allen took up office in 2009. Once a regular visitor as one of the preferred musicians for former heads of state, I was delighted to see some of the fairly recent changes in the last two years of divers … More Tabernacle of Testimony
It is always interesting to compare the human and divine perspective. We have always pictured hell’s gates as open wide to receive the hosts of sinners and unbelievers captured by demon spirits scattered throughout the earth. But in scripture, it is heaven’s gates that are open wide and never shut, needing no defense. All who … More A shift of perspective-Gates again
The racism at the heart of the Judeo-Christian worldview is easily recognizable to those unobstructed by the sacred veil that hides its face from its proponents. Indeed, all religion tends to promote a decided ethnocentrism, even if it seeks and struggles in doctrine and practice to transcend it (as admittedly does Christianity with grand pronouncements … More Right and Rule
I’ve lifted from my draft folder the following unfinished post, written during the pivotal days before the January 6th insurrection when Trump was still challenging the election results through the Courts: I recommend every American believer, of whatever stripe and persuasion to daily tune in to Pat Robertson’s 700 club and Dutch Sheet’s Give Him … More A brief look at the recent past
