From the Opposition New National Party (NNP)


St. George's Grenada, October 23rd, 2009: The New National Party is dismayed surprised and disappointed that no National Ecumenical or Interfaith Service is being held this year as has been the custom and as expected by the Grenadian public. On Thanksgiving Day commemorate on October 25th we see the need to acknowledge God Almighty and pay homage for His deliverance as a Nation.

The question needs to be asked why is this change in Policy? Does the present Administration not acknowledge the hand of God in activities, is that an indication of the ideology of the Government and is this some sort of lead of where the Government is heading so far as religious doctrine and practice are concerned? What is the position of the Minister of Ecclesiastic Relations? The New National Party (NNP) calls upon the Conference of Churches, the Interfaith group and the Evangelical Association to respond to this unexpected and surprising turn of events.
