Spanish Town

The church decided to attack Spanish Town, St Catherine, on Sunday and did just that.

But they did not attack the town for any *lo** letting, but to gain souls and to put a stop to violence. The 'attack' was done by members of the Spanish Town's Ministers Fraternal at the staging of the Spanish Town Revival held at the Municipal Bus Park.

As a way of putting forward their aim, Bishop Rowan Edwards, one of the presiding ministers dramatised the whole way forward for the Old Capital.

The meeting saw hundreds of people flocking under the tent, was told by Bishop Edwards in his sermon, that the persons causing mayhem are "blindfolded" by the devil.

He took stems of roses to people in the audience who expressed sorrow due to the passing of loved ones by way of violence. He threw loaves of bread to persons. He said they were symbols of sacrifice to cleanse Spanish Town.

Among those who attended the meeting was Spanish Town's Mayor Andrew Wheatley. "I think it is good for the Church to bring persons from all walks to Spanish Town as a part of their revival campaign, this can only be good," he said.

Edwards told THE STAR that the revival is a way forward for Spanish Town's survival.

"I think that Spanish Town needs persons from the Church to unite and cause them to see that there is a better way and it is a testimony tonight that the thirst for change is being quenched, " he said.
