RELIGIOUS NEWS, STORIES AND CHURCH EVENTS

A lesson in humility and service

By ALESHA CADET Tribune Features Reporter acadet@tribunemedia.net

Aquiet stillness settled over St Gregory the Great Anglican Church on Carmichael Road last Thursday evening as worshippers gathered for one of the most solemn observances of Holy Week.

In a service marked by reverence and reflection, parishioners came together to observe Maundy Thursday, a sacred moment on the Christian calendar that calls believers to remember not only the final hours of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry, but the enduring example of humility and service he left behind.

Maundy Thursday signals the beginning of the Easter Triduum, leading into Good Friday and culminating in Easter Sunday. Within the Anglican tradition, the observance centres on the re-enactment of Christ’s actions at the Last Supper, when he washed the feet of his disciples. The act, simple in form yet profound in meaning, continues to stand as a powerful expression of servant leadership and unconditional love.

According to members of the church, the service at St Gregory the Great brought that message into sharp focus through the symbolic washing of feet, a ritual that remains deeply rooted in Christian teaching.

Rector Rev Father Dr Kari Marcelle, assisted by Rev Father Dr Roland Hamilton, led the ceremony with quiet dignity. “In a moment that drew the

congregation into deep reflection, both clergymen knelt before parishioners, gently washing and kissing their feet. The act unfolded without spectacle, yet its meaning resonated throughout the sanctuary,” church members said.

As the congregation watched in silence, many were visibly moved by the intimate display of faith.

“For some, it was a humbling reminder of core Christian values: selflessness, service, and unconditional love,” they added.

They noted that the observance extended beyond tradition, offering a lived example of the principles it represents. The washing of feet, they said, continues to challenge believers to embrace a posture of service in their daily lives, both within the church and in the wider community.

As the service concluded, the significance of the evening lingered. Maundy Thursday, while rooted in remembrance, also carries a forward-looking message, calling on the faithful to reflect Christ’s example through their actions.

At St Gregory the Great, that call was delivered through a quiet, deliberate act that spoke to the heart of the Christian journey.

“For some, it was a humbling reminder of core Christian values: selflessness, service, and unconditional love.”

Faith in the Everyday

By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net

During seasons like Lent and Easter, faith often feels closer, more intentional and more visible.

Churches are fuller, conversations around spirituality become more frequent, and for many there is a renewed sense of awareness about God, purpose and personal reflection. But once those seasons pass and life settles back into its usual rhythm, the question becomes less about celebration and more about consistency.

For many believers, faith is not defined by a single season, but by the quieter,

everyday moments that follow.

Young professional Alana Rolle said maintaining faith outside of structured seasons requires a different level of discipline as she balances work and personal life.

“During Lent especially, I find myself being more intentional. I’m praying more, I’m reflecting more, I’m thinking about my choices. But after Easter, it’s like life just picks back

up so quickly. I’ve had to learn that faith isn’t just about those heightened moments, it’s about how I show up every day, even when I don’t feel as connected.”

That sentiment is echoed by many who say the transition from seasonal observance to daily practice is where faith is truly tested.

For father of two Ricardo Johnson, faith has become less about routine and more about responsibility, particularly in the face of everyday pressures.

“It’s easy to feel spiritual when you’re in church or when everyone around you is focused on the same thing. But real faith is when you’re at home, dealing with bills,

dealing with your children, dealing with stress. I’ve had to ask myself, how am I applying what I believe in those moments? That’s where it counts the most.”

While church services and religious observances provide structure, some believers say their most meaningful moments of faith happen outside of those spaces.

University student Kayla Dean said her understanding of faith has evolved beyond what she once associated with attendance and tradition.

“I used to think being a good Christian meant going to church every Sunday and doing all the ‘right’ things. But now, I’m learning that it’s also about how you treat

Bible stories would be part of a new Texas public schools reading list drawing attention

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH

Associated Press

BIBLICAL stories like Jonah and the whale would be required reading for Texas public schools students under proposals that are putting the state at the center of another contentious wrangling over the role of religion in classrooms.

Religious leaders, teachers, parents and students spent hours Tuesday before the state education board arguing about the reading list for the state's 5.4 million kindergartners to 12th-graders. The debate is part of widening efforts in the U.S. to incorporate religion in schools, mostly in Republican-led states, driving legislation and legal action.

Nationally, President Donald Trump has pledged to protect and expand religious expression in public schools. And Texas, a red state that is home to about one in 10 of the nation's public

school students, often helps set the agenda.

Texas became the first state to allow chaplains, in 2023. And just last year, a Republican-led mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools took effect in the state, although around two dozen districts took them down because of a lawsuit.

But while the debate over Texas' reading list could have national implications, to the speakers the issue boiled down to whether the passages are essential to understanding the nation's history and morals — or unconstitutional.

"Our children need truth," said Nathan Irving, a pastor and father of eight from Myrtle Springs, Texas. "Truth is the only currency that never devalues. Investing truth into our children is the most loving thing that we can do for them. This is the truth. This country and this state were founded upon a Christian worldview. Like it or not, it is true."

Final vote on the changes still ahead

A final vote on the list is expected in June, and if approved by the Texas State Board of Education, the changes would take effect in 2030.

Several speakers cited the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment, which states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

"This list is a tool of proselytization that has no place in our public schools," Rabbi Josh Fixler, of Congregation Emanu El, a reform synagogue in Houston, told the board. "There is a difference between teaching about religion and teaching religion, and this list will force teachers to cross that line."

Megan Boyden, a mother of three from Denton, Texas, described is as a direct attack on her private faith.

"As a Christian mother, it is my right and responsibility to teach our family's religion," she

people, how you handle situations, and how you grow as a person. There are days when I don’t feel as strong in my faith, but I’ve realised that doesn’t mean it’s gone. It just means I’m human.”

That honesty around inconsistency is something many believers quietly relate to, even if it is not always openly discussed.

For Monique Ferguson, a small business owner, faith has become something that shows up most in how she navigates people and pressure, rather than in outward routines alone.

“There are moments in business where things don’t go how you planned, and your first instinct might be to react or panic.

said. "It is not the state's job to shed through the lens of a teacher who may not share the same beliefs I do. Will Bible passages be taught in conflict with my beliefs?

"What," she asked, "of non-Christian students?"

The list stems from a state law passed in 2023, which called for the creation of a state-approved list of high-quality materials.

Third graders would learn about the Road to Damascus, which tells the story of Paul's transformation from an early persecutor of Christians into a follower. Seniors, meanwhile, would learn about the Book of Job, a story about a man whose faith is tested when he looses everything.

The list also includes classics like Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat," stories about the national folk hero Daniel Boone. And there are also works by famous African Americans like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr. and a book about Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad fame.

Texas has already approved optional curriculum that incorporates the Bible

For me, faith shows up in how I respond in those moments. It’s choosing patience, choosing to trust, even when you don’t fully understand what’s happening. That’s where I see growth in myself.”

In The Bahamas, where church culture remains deeply rooted, faith continues to shape identity for many. But beyond the visible expressions, the services, the seasons and the traditions, there is a quieter shift happening. More believers are moving away from seeing faith as something tied only to specific times of the year, and instead embracing it as something lived out daily, often in ways that go unseen.

The GOP-leaning board previously approved a new Bible-infused curriculum that is optional for schools to incorporate in kindergarten through fifth grades. The board also is considering social studies standards that have been criticized as too state-centric, not focused enough on world events and rife with an undercurrent of American exceptionalism. They call for students to "identify the Texas flag as a symbol of Texas pride," and recognize the state song "Texas, Our Texas."

Students also are supposed to be able to understand stories about Texas Independence. Curriculum debates crop up occasionally. Over the years, state boards in places such as Kansas have debated whether the teaching of evolution should reflect doubt about the well-established scientific theory — and leave room for arguments that the universe's complexity points to an intelligent design.

Allison Cardwell, a mother of a fourth grader and a fifth grade social studies teacher, urged the board to rethink the standards. She said fifth grade would be the only time most Texas students would receive instruction in U.S. history until high school.

A life measured by faithfulness: Celebrating 45 years of pastoral leadership

Some journeys are measured in miles. Others are measured in faithfulness. For Bishop Robert A McPhee, JP, DD, forty five years of pastoral leadership reflect a life shaped by obedience to God, sustained through humility, and strengthened by perseverance.

Born in Anna’s Track, Exuma, the youngest of seven children, Bishop McPhee’s early life was grounded in discipline and strong values. He began his education at Barre Tarre All-Age School before completing his secondary education at Eastern Senior High School in Nassau. He later developed his skills in carpentry and built a successful career in the insurance industry with Family Guardian. Yet even as he advanced professionally, a deeper calling was taking shape.

At the age of seventeen, a young Robert McPhee committed his life fully to Christ, a decision that would define his future. “I was open. Wherever the Lord wanted me to go, whatever He wanted me to do, I was willing,” he recalls. His early ministry began in humble settings, teaching in Sunday school and youth gatherings.

One of his first opportunities to speak publicly came during Vacation Bible School, where he taught from Psalm 1. What seemed like a simple assignment

revealed a calling that would continue to grow.

Committed to serving with both passion and preparation, Bishop McPhee pursued theological training, earning credentials from the Assemblies of God Institute, Trinity College, and Covington Theological Seminary, and later receiving an honorary doctorate from Virginia Theological Seminary.

In 1980, he was ordained under the late Bishop E A Beckford. Following Bishop Beckford’s passing in 1981, Bishop McPhee was appointed Senior Pastor of Cooper’s Terrace Cathedral Church of God, a role he has faithfully served for more than four decades.

Under his leadership, the church experienced significant growth and deepened its impact within the community. His ministry extended beyond the church into schools, homes, and businesses, reflecting a commitment to serving people in practical and meaningful ways.

In 1989, he was elevated to the Bishopric within the Highway Church of God. Over the years, he served in several key leadership roles, including District Superintendent, General Treasurer, First Assistant General Superintendent, and General Superintendent for twelve years. His influence has also extended internationally through partnerships across the United States, the Caribbean, and Canada.

A project to save rural synagogues grows from Maine to Montana

By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press

RABBI Rachel Isaacs spent the days leading up to Passover overseeing the preparation of ceremonial foods at Beth Israel Congregation, a synagogue in central Maine where membership has quadrupled over the last 15 years.

These days, growing congregations is very much on Isaacs' mind, as she's leading a movement to strengthen rural synagogues and Jewish communities around the country.

They've reached dozens, and they're hoping for many more.

"Rural Jewish life is important for the Jewish people and it's important for rural America," Isaacs said. "Those people deserve to be served and shepherded."

Isaacs is executive director of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life at Colby College, a liberal arts school in Waterville, Maine. The center began a decade ago with a goal of supporting Jewish congregations that are far from big cities and it has grown to run programs for

At the heart of his leadership is a simple but profound conviction rooted in Christ’s words to Peter: “Feed my sheep.”

For Bishop McPhee, ministry has always been about devotion to God above all else.

“To love God more than these means choosing to please God above everyone else,” he explains.

“Only from that place can a leader faithfully care for the people entrusted to them.”

more than 60 communities in 22 states. A little less than 2.4% of Americans are Jewish. Of those millions of people, one in eight lives outside a major urban area, and the center exists to help them thrive, Isaacs said.

The center's work is taking place at a vital time, as there are roughly 20% fewer synagogues in America than there were in 1990, according to data compiled by Alanna E. Cooper, a Jewish studies professor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. The trend is even more pronounced in rural America, where aging populations and the relocations of residents has hit congregations hard.

The outreach to rural synagogues is also happening as Jewish Americans confront a rising tide of antisemitism and violent attacks against Jewish communities. The

He is equally honest about the cost. “Ministry requires sacrifices that are often unseen.

Leadership demands time, energy, and commitment.” Yet his dedication has remained steady, anchored in his understanding of the sacredness of the call.

Family has also been central to his journey. He shared forty six years of marriage with his late wife, Modena McPhee, and together they raised four lovely daughters. He has since remarried Minister Kimbley Josey-McPhee, and adopted an additional daughter, continuing a legacy of faith that extends to his children and grandchildren.

When asked what encouragement he offers to those sensing a call to ministry, his response is clear: “Do not be afraid. God never calls us without giving us the strength to fulfill the assignment.”

After forty five years, one truth remains at the center of his life: “My life is not my own.”

As the church and wider community mark this milestone, we celebrate not only the years, but the life behind them, a life that continues to demonstrate what it means to walk faithfully with God.

Next weekend the church will reflect reflect on the leadership of Bishop McPhee, at Cooper’s Terrace Cathedral. There will be a special retirement service at 3pm on Sunday.

Anti-Defamation League noted a nearly 900% increases in antisemitic incidents for the decade ending 2024. Some of the states with a high rate of incidents include largely rural states like Maine, New Hampshire and Wyoming, the ADL's report said. The center's work can help reverse that trend, Isaacs said.

"You have more Jews that experience joy, who can locate strength, form connections with other Jews across the country and around the world," Isaacs said. "In a world of rising antisemitism it's more and more important that Jewish communities are joyful, strong and connected."

Since forming, the center has helped congregations from Maine to California, Montana and Texas.

Isaacs is also the rabbi at Beth Israel, a century-old synagogue

down the road from Colby that is the only one within 20 miles of the college. The synagogue has grown along with the center, but the Center for Small Town Jewish Life's work stretches far beyond Maine, she said. And congregations that have relied on the center said its contributions are vital in a country where the Jewish population has overwhelmingly been urban since the early days of immigration. In Helena, Montana, Rebecca Stanfel, the executive director of the Montana Jewish Project, said the center was instrumental in helping bring together the relatively small Jewish community in her vast state.

Linking far-flung faith communities together is critically important in a place like Montana, Stanfel said.

P.R.E.P. has done it again with another successful and family event

The Easter holiday bought a warm celebration of community faith and shared joy as more than 30 children, their parents, youth leaders and members of the St Matthews wider community gathered together.

The fun day which was organised by P.RE.P. (Parish Religious Education Programs) included residents from the wider community such as Canaan Lane, Balls Alley, Okra Hill and St James Road.

Kids learned the art of flying kites, watching colours dance against the Caribbean sky. The fun continued with beloved traditional games that had children cheering and parents laughing along. Egg and spoon races tested balance, ring toss challenged aim, and the three-legged race fostered teamwork and smiles. The Easter Egg Hunt added an extra spark

of excitement, with prizes warming the pockets of eager young hunters.

Music provided by Bloodline Sound set an upbeat backdrop, encouraging participation and dancing between activities. Tents and bouncing castles from All D’s Party Rentals Bahamas created a festive atmosphere, offering a shaded space for rest and imaginative play.

The day concluded with a hearty spread of hot dogs and hamburgers, fueling attendees for more conversations, laughter, and connection. The collective energy reflected a true sense of community, with the church and its wider neighbourhood sharing moments of care, compassion, and unity.

The event stood as a bright example of how faith communities can come together with neighbours to celebrate the season and build lasting relationships.

Pope Leo urges peace in first Easter Mass as Christians

celebrate in Jerusalem, Gaza and Tehran

VATICAN CITY

Associated Press

POPE Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass as pontiff with a call Sunday to lay down arms and seek peace to global conflicts through dialogue, but he departed from a tradition of listing the world's woes by name in the Urbi et Orbi blessing from the loggia of St Peter’s Basilica.

Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, emphasised Easter’s message of hope as a celebration of Jesus’ resurrection after being crucified.

“Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us. Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them.” the pope implored.

With the US-Israeli war on Iran in its second month and Russia’s ongoing campaign in Ukraine, Leo acknowledged a sense of indifference “to the deaths of thousands of people ... to the repercussions of hatred and division that conflicts sow … to the economic and social consequences they produce.’’

Without mentioning the wars by name, Leo quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, who during his last public appearance from the same loggia last Easter reminded the faithful of the “great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day.’’ Francis, weakened by a long illness, died the next day on Easter Monday.

The Urbi et Orbi blessing, Latin for “to the city and the world,’’ has traditionally

included a litany of the world’s woes. Leo followed that formula during his Christmas blessing. There was no immediate explanation for the shift.

Earlier, Leo addressed some 50,000 faithful from an open-air altar in St Peter’s Square flanked with white roses, while the steps leading down to the piazza where the faithful gathered were filled with spring perennials, symbolically resonating with the pope’s words.

He implored the faithful in his homily to keep their hope in the face of death, which lurks "in the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys.’’

Speaking from the loggia, the pope announced a prayer vigil for peace April 11 in the basilica.

Small shifts in traditions

Leo greeted the global faithful in 10 languages, including Arabic, Chinese and Latin, reviving a practice that his predecessor Pope Francis had let lapse.

Before retreating into the basilica, Leo stepped forward out of the loggia’s shadow and waved to the cheering crowd below. He later greeted people in the piazza from the popemobile that took him all the way down Via della Conciliazione toward the Tiber River and back.

During the marathon that is Holy Week, Leo also reclaimed the tradition of washing priests’ feet on Holy Thursday, a gesture of encouragement toward clergy, after Francis had chosen a more inclusive path, traveling to

“Whether we like it or not, we have young children who do not understand what’s going on. They just need to feel normal.”

prisons and homes for the disabled to wash the feet of women, non-Christians and prisoners.

The 70-year-old pontiff also became the first pope in decades to carry the light wooden cross for the entire 14 stations during the Way of the Cross on Good Friday.

Christians in the Holy Land mark a subdued Easter

Traditional ceremonies at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, revered by Christians as the traditional site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, were scaled back under an agreement with Israeli police. Authorities have put limits on the sizes of public gatherings due to ongoing missile attacks.

The restrictions also dampened the recent Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr holiday, as well as the current weeklong Jewish festival of Passover. On Sunday, the Jewish priestly blessing at the Western Wall — normally attended by

tens of thousands — was limited to just 50 people.

The restrictions have strained relations between Israeli authorities and Christian leaders. Police last week prevented two of the church’s top religious leaders, including Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, from celebrating Palm Sunday at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Gaza’s tiny Palestinian Christian community celebrates first Easter since ceasefire

At the Holy Family church in Gaza City, Catholics young and old gathered for a traditional Easter Mass. Singing, they formed a queue in the aisle, waiting for their chance to kiss a sketch of Jesus held by a member of the clergy who wiped the glass frame between turns.

“There is great joy, especially after the ceasefire and after nearly three years of suffering and being unable to celebrate all the holy holidays,” said George Anton from Gaza City. “People

are somewhat relieved and more stable.”

Armenian Christians try to show normalcy by celebrating in Iran

Armenian Christians observed Easter at a church in Iran’s capital on Sunday, striving to maintain a sense of normalcy five weeks into the war.

Families embraced and children exchanged painted eggs at the St Sarkis Cathedral in central Tehran. Iran’s capital has been targeted by daily airstrikes since the United States and Israel launched the war on Feburary 28.

“Whether we like it or not, we have young children who do not understand what’s going on,” said Juanita Arakel, 40, an English language teacher. “They just need to feel normal.”

The Islamic Republic, with a population of around 90 million, is home to some 300,000 Christians, mostly Armenians, and three seats in parliament are reserved for Christians.

“Our calls and prayers are that we will be able to end this war,” said Sepuh Sargsyan, the archbishop of the Armenian Diocese of Tehran. “Our calls and prayers are that we will be able to end this war.”

Faith in the Everyday

By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net

During seasons like Lent and Easter, faith often feels closer, more intentional and more visible.

Churches are fuller, conversations around spirituality become more frequent, and for many there is a renewed sense of awareness about God, purpose and personal reflection. But once those seasons pass and life settles back into its usual rhythm, the question becomes less about celebration and more about consistency.

For many believers, faith is not defined by a single season, but by the quieter,

everyday moments that follow.

Young professional Alana Rolle said maintaining faith outside of structured seasons requires a different level of discipline as she balances work and personal life.

“During Lent especially, I find myself being more intentional. I’m praying more, I’m reflecting more, I’m thinking about my choices. But after Easter, it’s like life just picks back

up so quickly. I’ve had to learn that faith isn’t just about those heightened moments, it’s about how I show up every day, even when I don’t feel as connected.”

That sentiment is echoed by many who say the transition from seasonal observance to daily practice is where faith is truly tested.

For father of two Ricardo Johnson, faith has become less about routine and more about responsibility, particularly in the face of everyday pressures.

“It’s easy to feel spiritual when you’re in church or when everyone around you is focused on the same thing. But real faith is when you’re at home, dealing with bills,

dealing with your children, dealing with stress. I’ve had to ask myself, how am I applying what I believe in those moments? That’s where it counts the most.”

While church services and religious observances provide structure, some believers say their most meaningful moments of faith happen outside of those spaces.

University student Kayla Dean said her understanding of faith has evolved beyond what she once associated with attendance and tradition.

“I used to think being a good Christian meant going to church every Sunday and doing all the ‘right’ things. But now, I’m learning that it’s also about how you treat

Bible stories would be part of a new Texas public schools reading list drawing attention

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH

Associated Press

BIBLICAL stories like Jonah and the whale would be required reading for Texas public schools students under proposals that are putting the state at the center of another contentious wrangling over the role of religion in classrooms.

Religious leaders, teachers, parents and students spent hours Tuesday before the state education board arguing about the reading list for the state's 5.4 million kindergartners to 12th-graders. The debate is part of widening efforts in the U.S. to incorporate religion in schools, mostly in Republican-led states, driving legislation and legal action.

Nationally, President Donald Trump has pledged to protect and expand religious expression in public schools. And Texas, a red state that is home to about one in 10 of the nation's public

school students, often helps set the agenda.

Texas became the first state to allow chaplains, in 2023. And just last year, a Republican-led mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools took effect in the state, although around two dozen districts took them down because of a lawsuit.

But while the debate over Texas' reading list could have national implications, to the speakers the issue boiled down to whether the passages are essential to understanding the nation's history and morals — or unconstitutional.

"Our children need truth," said Nathan Irving, a pastor and father of eight from Myrtle Springs, Texas. "Truth is the only currency that never devalues. Investing truth into our children is the most loving thing that we can do for them. This is the truth. This country and this state were founded upon a Christian worldview. Like it or not, it is true."

Final vote on the changes still ahead

A final vote on the list is expected in June, and if approved by the Texas State Board of Education, the changes would take effect in 2030.

Several speakers cited the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment, which states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

"This list is a tool of proselytization that has no place in our public schools," Rabbi Josh Fixler, of Congregation Emanu El, a reform synagogue in Houston, told the board. "There is a difference between teaching about religion and teaching religion, and this list will force teachers to cross that line."

Megan Boyden, a mother of three from Denton, Texas, described is as a direct attack on her private faith.

"As a Christian mother, it is my right and responsibility to teach our family's religion," she

people, how you handle situations, and how you grow as a person. There are days when I don’t feel as strong in my faith, but I’ve realised that doesn’t mean it’s gone. It just means I’m human.”

That honesty around inconsistency is something many believers quietly relate to, even if it is not always openly discussed.

For Monique Ferguson, a small business owner, faith has become something that shows up most in how she navigates people and pressure, rather than in outward routines alone.

“There are moments in business where things don’t go how you planned, and your first instinct might be to react or panic.

said. "It is not the state's job to shed through the lens of a teacher who may not share the same beliefs I do. Will Bible passages be taught in conflict with my beliefs?

"What," she asked, "of non-Christian students?"

The list stems from a state law passed in 2023, which called for the creation of a state-approved list of high-quality materials.

Third graders would learn about the Road to Damascus, which tells the story of Paul's transformation from an early persecutor of Christians into a follower. Seniors, meanwhile, would learn about the Book of Job, a story about a man whose faith is tested when he looses everything.

The list also includes classics like Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat," stories about the national folk hero Daniel Boone. And there are also works by famous African Americans like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr. and a book about Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad fame.

Texas has already approved optional curriculum that incorporates the Bible

For me, faith shows up in how I respond in those moments. It’s choosing patience, choosing to trust, even when you don’t fully understand what’s happening. That’s where I see growth in myself.”

In The Bahamas, where church culture remains deeply rooted, faith continues to shape identity for many. But beyond the visible expressions, the services, the seasons and the traditions, there is a quieter shift happening. More believers are moving away from seeing faith as something tied only to specific times of the year, and instead embracing it as something lived out daily, often in ways that go unseen.

The GOP-leaning board previously approved a new Bible-infused curriculum that is optional for schools to incorporate in kindergarten through fifth grades. The board also is considering social studies standards that have been criticized as too state-centric, not focused enough on world events and rife with an undercurrent of American exceptionalism. They call for students to "identify the Texas flag as a symbol of Texas pride," and recognize the state song "Texas, Our Texas."

Students also are supposed to be able to understand stories about Texas Independence. Curriculum debates crop up occasionally. Over the years, state boards in places such as Kansas have debated whether the teaching of evolution should reflect doubt about the well-established scientific theory — and leave room for arguments that the universe's complexity points to an intelligent design.

Allison Cardwell, a mother of a fourth grader and a fifth grade social studies teacher, urged the board to rethink the standards. She said fifth grade would be the only time most Texas students would receive instruction in U.S. history until high school.

A life measured by faithfulness: Celebrating 45 years of pastoral leadership

Some journeys are measured in miles. Others are measured in faithfulness. For Bishop Robert A McPhee, JP, DD, forty five years of pastoral leadership reflect a life shaped by obedience to God, sustained through humility, and strengthened by perseverance.

Born in Anna’s Track, Exuma, the youngest of seven children, Bishop McPhee’s early life was grounded in discipline and strong values. He began his education at Barre Tarre All-Age School before completing his secondary education at Eastern Senior High School in Nassau. He later developed his skills in carpentry and built a successful career in the insurance industry with Family Guardian. Yet even as he advanced professionally, a deeper calling was taking shape.

At the age of seventeen, a young Robert McPhee committed his life fully to Christ, a decision that would define his future. “I was open. Wherever the Lord wanted me to go, whatever He wanted me to do, I was willing,” he recalls. His early ministry began in humble settings, teaching in Sunday school and youth gatherings.

One of his first opportunities to speak publicly came during Vacation Bible School, where he taught from Psalm 1. What seemed like a simple assignment

revealed a calling that would continue to grow.

Committed to serving with both passion and preparation, Bishop McPhee pursued theological training, earning credentials from the Assemblies of God Institute, Trinity College, and Covington Theological Seminary, and later receiving an honorary doctorate from Virginia Theological Seminary.

In 1980, he was ordained under the late Bishop E A Beckford. Following Bishop Beckford’s passing in 1981, Bishop McPhee was appointed Senior Pastor of Cooper’s Terrace Cathedral Church of God, a role he has faithfully served for more than four decades.

Under his leadership, the church experienced significant growth and deepened its impact within the community. His ministry extended beyond the church into schools, homes, and businesses, reflecting a commitment to serving people in practical and meaningful ways.

In 1989, he was elevated to the Bishopric within the Highway Church of God. Over the years, he served in several key leadership roles, including District Superintendent, General Treasurer, First Assistant General Superintendent, and General Superintendent for twelve years. His influence has also extended internationally through partnerships across the United States, the Caribbean, and Canada.

A project to save rural synagogues grows from Maine to Montana

By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press

RABBI Rachel Isaacs spent the days leading up to Passover overseeing the preparation of ceremonial foods at Beth Israel Congregation, a synagogue in central Maine where membership has quadrupled over the last 15 years.

These days, growing congregations is very much on Isaacs' mind, as she's leading a movement to strengthen rural synagogues and Jewish communities around the country.

They've reached dozens, and they're hoping for many more.

"Rural Jewish life is important for the Jewish people and it's important for rural America," Isaacs said. "Those people deserve to be served and shepherded."

Isaacs is executive director of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life at Colby College, a liberal arts school in Waterville, Maine. The center began a decade ago with a goal of supporting Jewish congregations that are far from big cities and it has grown to run programs for

At the heart of his leadership is a simple but profound conviction rooted in Christ’s words to Peter: “Feed my sheep.”

For Bishop McPhee, ministry has always been about devotion to God above all else.

“To love God more than these means choosing to please God above everyone else,” he explains.

“Only from that place can a leader faithfully care for the people entrusted to them.”

more than 60 communities in 22 states. A little less than 2.4% of Americans are Jewish. Of those millions of people, one in eight lives outside a major urban area, and the center exists to help them thrive, Isaacs said.

The center's work is taking place at a vital time, as there are roughly 20% fewer synagogues in America than there were in 1990, according to data compiled by Alanna E. Cooper, a Jewish studies professor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. The trend is even more pronounced in rural America, where aging populations and the relocations of residents has hit congregations hard.

The outreach to rural synagogues is also happening as Jewish Americans confront a rising tide of antisemitism and violent attacks against Jewish communities. The

He is equally honest about the cost. “Ministry requires sacrifices that are often unseen.

Leadership demands time, energy, and commitment.” Yet his dedication has remained steady, anchored in his understanding of the sacredness of the call.

Family has also been central to his journey. He shared forty six years of marriage with his late wife, Modena McPhee, and together they raised four lovely daughters. He has since remarried Minister Kimbley Josey-McPhee, and adopted an additional daughter, continuing a legacy of faith that extends to his children and grandchildren.

When asked what encouragement he offers to those sensing a call to ministry, his response is clear: “Do not be afraid. God never calls us without giving us the strength to fulfill the assignment.”

After forty five years, one truth remains at the center of his life: “My life is not my own.”

As the church and wider community mark this milestone, we celebrate not only the years, but the life behind them, a life that continues to demonstrate what it means to walk faithfully with God.

Next weekend the church will reflect reflect on the leadership of Bishop McPhee, at Cooper’s Terrace Cathedral. There will be a special retirement service at 3pm on Sunday.

Anti-Defamation League noted a nearly 900% increases in antisemitic incidents for the decade ending 2024. Some of the states with a high rate of incidents include largely rural states like Maine, New Hampshire and Wyoming, the ADL's report said. The center's work can help reverse that trend, Isaacs said.

"You have more Jews that experience joy, who can locate strength, form connections with other Jews across the country and around the world," Isaacs said. "In a world of rising antisemitism it's more and more important that Jewish communities are joyful, strong and connected."

Since forming, the center has helped congregations from Maine to California, Montana and Texas.

Isaacs is also the rabbi at Beth Israel, a century-old synagogue

down the road from Colby that is the only one within 20 miles of the college. The synagogue has grown along with the center, but the Center for Small Town Jewish Life's work stretches far beyond Maine, she said. And congregations that have relied on the center said its contributions are vital in a country where the Jewish population has overwhelmingly been urban since the early days of immigration. In Helena, Montana, Rebecca Stanfel, the executive director of the Montana Jewish Project, said the center was instrumental in helping bring together the relatively small Jewish community in her vast state.

Linking far-flung faith communities together is critically important in a place like Montana, Stanfel said.

P.R.E.P. has done it again with another successful and family event

The Easter holiday bought a warm celebration of community faith and shared joy as more than 30 children, their parents, youth leaders and members of the St Matthews wider community gathered together.

The fun day which was organised by P.RE.P. (Parish Religious Education Programs) included residents from the wider community such as Canaan Lane, Balls Alley, Okra Hill and St James Road.

Kids learned the art of flying kites, watching colours dance against the Caribbean sky. The fun continued with beloved traditional games that had children cheering and parents laughing along. Egg and spoon races tested balance, ring toss challenged aim, and the three-legged race fostered teamwork and smiles. The Easter Egg Hunt added an extra spark

of excitement, with prizes warming the pockets of eager young hunters.

Music provided by Bloodline Sound set an upbeat backdrop, encouraging participation and dancing between activities. Tents and bouncing castles from All D’s Party Rentals Bahamas created a festive atmosphere, offering a shaded space for rest and imaginative play.

The day concluded with a hearty spread of hot dogs and hamburgers, fueling attendees for more conversations, laughter, and connection. The collective energy reflected a true sense of community, with the church and its wider neighbourhood sharing moments of care, compassion, and unity.

The event stood as a bright example of how faith communities can come together with neighbours to celebrate the season and build lasting relationships.

Pope Leo urges peace in first Easter Mass as Christians

celebrate in Jerusalem, Gaza and Tehran

POPE Leo XIV celebrated his first Easter Mass as pontiff with a call Sunday to lay down arms and seek peace to global conflicts through dialogue, but he departed from a tradition of listing the world's woes by name in the Urbi et Orbi blessing from the loggia of St Peter’s Basilica.

Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, emphasised Easter’s message of hope as a celebration of Jesus’ resurrection after being crucified.

“Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us. Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them.” the pope implored.

With the US-Israeli war on Iran in its second month and Russia’s ongoing campaign in Ukraine, Leo acknowledged a sense of indifference “to the deaths of thousands of people ... to the repercussions of hatred and division that conflicts sow … to the economic and social consequences they produce.’’

Without mentioning the wars by name, Leo quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, who during his last public appearance from the same loggia last Easter reminded the faithful of the “great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day.’’ Francis, weakened by a long illness, died the next day on Easter Monday.

Armenian Christians try to show normalcy by celebrating in Iran

Armenian Christians observed Easter at a church in Iran’s capital on Sunday, striving to maintain a sense of normalcy five weeks into the war.

Families embraced and children exchanged painted eggs at the St Sarkis Cathedral in central Tehran. Iran’s capital has been targeted by daily airstrikes since the United States and Israel launched the war on Feburary 28.
