IN PICTURES (Covid-19): Churches in Dominica open to down-sized congregations

Masked and physically-distanced congregants at the Canefield Catholic Church on Sunday

A number of churches in Dominica opened this weekend to a down-sized congregation due to the physical distancing measures which the government has kept in place.

Dominica News Online (DNO) got a glimpse of Sunday worship in a few churches this morning where generally, the Ministry of Health safety protocols were observed. In addition physical distancing, at the Peoples’ Pentecostal Church temperatures were being taken and at Roseau Cathedral, they were recording the names of attendees in an effort to assist in the process contact tracing in case of infections.

    Solemn looking and asking for mercy for their Sins. Lack of Spiritual Knowledge continue to drive the Descendants of Slavery deeper into the HELL created by Dante Alighieri on behalf of the Catholic Church. Some of us have been asking this question for Generations, how can a Doctrine used to EnSlave our People, be the same Metaphor to guide them to Salvation? Religion as we know it , have replace the Chains. Along the way, the Destruction is just as catastrophic as being Chattel, their Slave Master is a direct resemblance of the Savior they worship to. As Africans, we are the most SPIRITUAL of all Peoples, our Devine Dieties are always in our midst willing to help if only we can get to know and Emerse in them.”In The Beginning Was The Word, And The Word Was”? those reading this comment can continue the quote, this is Kemetian, from the Heart of the African, his true CHURCH. Empty your Cup and replace it with the TRUTH that exist all around. AMEN.
