AAAAmerican Posted May 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2010 A few want to make money, for themselves. The People do not want Government run Gambling. Recall what the current premier, Ewart Brown, did earlier this past secession? One word. Guantánamo. Ewart tried to do what is known in American football..as an end run. He said there would be NO VOTE on the Casinos.. OOPs he fibed.. when most were away on holiday he called a Special Election . He lost the vote. Now with A fellowship of more than 80 pastors and leaders from over 70 churches has been launched to oppose gaming in Bermuda. United for Change, says it is the largest collaboration of churches in the history of Bermuda and is "seriously concerned for Bermuda's people, small businesses, and charities". United for Change has an administrative team consisting of pastors Simons and Hall plus Pastor Terrence Stovell, Bishop Lloyd Duncan, the Rev. Nicholas Dill and Major Alfred Wilson. It has three advisors local Bishop Vernon Lambe, plus Dr. Tony Evans, an author and speaker from the Urban Alternative in Dallas, Texas, and Pastor Jim Cymbala, an author and senior pastor from the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York. According to Pastor Simons, churches represented within the fellowship are Brethren, AME, Anglican, Apostolic, Baptist, Non-Denominational, New Testament Churches of God, Church of God and Church of the Nazarene. It also includes other denominations Methodist, Pentecostal, Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, United Church of Canada and the United Holy Church of Bermuda. The fellowship has formed several task forces to suggest alternative solutions for tourism. Meanwhile, it said that public announcements regarding locations to sign the petition will be forthcoming. :rolleyes:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
