‘Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Wors

‘Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.’ - Psalm 100

Ringing the bell throughout worship assemblies and meetings within the Spiritual Shouter Baptist community represents an iconic and enduring feature of Trinidad and Tobago’s only indigenous faith. Ringing the bell not only calls the faithful to worship but also raises the vibrations of the Spiritual Shouter Baptist congregations, connecting them to the divine presence of the Holy Spirit. In fact, no worship nor celebration is complete without frequent bell-ringing.
However, ringing the bell, added to the dancing, clapping, loud singing and shouting, which are all distinctive features at Shouter Baptist meetings and worship, were deemed a public nuisance of noise by the British colonial government who banned the Spiritual Shouter Baptist faith with the enactment of the Shouters Prohibition Ordinance of 1917. That the worship of the Shouter Baptists was expressive and vibrant, was not welcomed by the colonial powers who were conditioned to the composed and dignified worship characteristic of other religions.
Let us recognise the struggles of the Spiritual Shouter Baptists whose peaceful tenacity and unyielding spirit to keep their faith helped them overcome the oppressive rule of the day.
Let us be inspired by the united front demonstrated by the Shouter Baptists to stay the course and to have fought the good fight
Let us embrace and accept each other’s faith and gently reminded that ‘every creed and race has an equal place’ in Trinidad and Tobago.
Let us pay tribute to Spiritual Shouter Baptist Community whose struggle, ongoing faith and activities have contributed to the rich heritage that we proudly own and celebrate.
On behalf of the IMA, Happy Spiritual Shouter Baptist Holiday

As we continue to recognize the significance of se

As we continue to recognize the significance of seagrasses, this week, we would look at what has to be done to protect them.

Poor water quality from land-based pollution and coastal development are the main factors affecting the health of the seagrasses in Trinidad and Tobago. To prevent seagrasses from being smothered by sediments, hillside development and deforestation upstream of seagrass areas must be regulated and land reclamation near seagrass communities must be stopped. Land–based pollution from agriculture, industries and housing must be addressed and boat use over shallow seagrass beds must be limited.

There is an urgent need to manage, and in most area rehabilitate our seagrass community to ensure that they continue to provide a safe haven for our rich biodiversity, and protect our coastline. For rehabilitation to be successful, it is critical that the causes of the original decline in seagrasses be mitigated. Effective management / conservation of this ecosystem must be holistic, integrated and must utilize a participatory approach that engages the surrounding communities and the resource users.

“Thousands have lived without love, not one without water” – W. H. Auden
Celebrating World Water Day under the theme, Accelerating Change.
Water affects us all and we all need to take action!
.
Local Scenario ---
• The estimated daily consumption of water per capita in Trinidad and Tobago is 82 gallons per day while the average consumption per capita in the region is 46 gallons.
• A draft Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy (IWRMS 2018) was submitted for Government’s approval, and this document includes promoting the coordinated development and management of water resources
• We all need to play our part, from the individual to the collective, in how we sustainably manage the use and conservation of this precious commodity for use by future generations
.
Call-to-Action---
• Repair burst water pipes and dripping faucets at home
• Take shorter showers
• Adhere to the regulations during the dry season when there are restrictions on the use of water for household tasks such as watering the lawn and washing cars.
• Do not waste water
Report any burst pipes with running water to the authorities – WASA
