EDITOR, The Tribune.

THIS is an Open Letter to Bishop Delton Fernander, et al, from the so-called Bahamas Christian Council.

Bishop Fernander, I am deeply disappointed with you and your performance as President of The Bahamas Christian Council. While the FNM administration, which many of you all seem to support is on an unchristian run to shake the very scriptural foundations of marriage with the proposed/drafted Bill/s, you have failed to acknowledge any of my recent emails, copied to your assistant, Ms Josette Penn, and to my very own beloved and highly regarded spiritual leader, Apostle Valentino Williams, the council generally and YOU in particular are ‘FAILING’ the people of The Bahamas, big time, especially those of us who call ourselves Christians.

Marriage, by its very nature is ordained by God.

No secular man; tin god or LGBs has the power to overthrow the core principles. You all should KNOW this but, apparently, in a bogus and ungodly attempt to appease the political masters many of you have abandoned God and are prone to bending down low to secure material resources from them?

I have been BEGGING you to return to the Real Deal, ever since you donated the few dollars to the family of the young child who was fatally shot over in Bain’s Town almost six months ago!

You have, characteristically, or so it seems, totally ignored all of my requests. The dumbest Attorney General in the checkered history of our wonderful nation, goes off to Geneva and insulted you; your colleagues and the entire populace of The Bahamas.

He said that he had ‘consulted’ with you. You now have egg over your face (You Bishop) and have been obliged to eat crow!

You are aware of the influence of the responsible media. I will not ask you, again, to return to The Real Deal but I would be obliged if you’d designate a knowledgeable and sincere executive colleague from the council to make a timely appearance to flesh out the official views of the knee jerk council.

I do not wish to insult your collective intelligence, but it is past time that we CHRISTIANS become resurgent again in our society.

We Christians just like to lay back and take whatever shaving cream is dished out, in huge doses, by the clueless and abjectly godless political directorate. Boy to say that I am disappointed directly in you, Bishop Fernander, would be putting it nicely.

To God then, in all things, be the glory.
