‘The nation is becoming de-souled’ - Clergyman pinpoints school fights, sexual lewdness as signs of Jamaica’s decline in discipline
WESTERN BUREAU:
Jamaica is being judged to be an undisciplined State, resulting from years of decline in morality that must be urgently addressed if the nation is to uphold its position as a God-fearing country.
Addressing the National Workers’ Week and Labour Day Thanksgiving Church Service at the St John’s Methodist Church in Montego Bay, St James, on Sunday, Bishop Dr Roy Notice, the chairman of the Jamaica Umbrella Group of Churches, cited several recent reports of school fights and aggressive behaviour among children, along with violence in the wider society, as evidence of Jamaica becoming desensitised to lawless behaviour over time.
