A member of the Turks and Caicos Pastoral Fraternity is to be invited to join the Justice Working Group, announced Governor Peter Beckingham today, Wednesday, 19 February 2014.
Governor Beckingham said: “I was pleased to have a full and candid exchange with members of the Pastoral Fraternity at Waterloo today. We covered a great deal of ground, ranging from youth unemployment, healthcare, human rights and the public service.
“I emphasised to the Ministers that I was keen to hear from them about the concerns of their congregations, and the role of their churches in working within the community. I thought it was a valuable exchange, and we agreed we should meet periodically. At the Fraternity’s suggestion I will also be asking one of the Pastors to join the recently established Justice Working Group, and I also hope to meet soon with their fellow pastors in Providenciales.”
The visiting pastors were: Pastor Vernon Malcolm, Chairman of the Fraternity; Rev Julia Williams; Pastor Marilyn Forbes; Pastor Dennis Swann Rev Mark Christmas; Bishop Austraham Hamilton; Tomlinson Skippings; Pastor Oswald Skippings; Canon Mark Kendal.
