MONTEGO BAY, St James — The Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, bishop of Dover and Canterbury, has urged Jamaicans at home and in the Diaspora to maintain their moral voice on the global stage even as they seek to build a more resilient island home.

“As we seek to build a more resilient Jamaica, at the core of this will be about how we lift each other up, how we treat those who are most vulnerable,” stated Bishop Hudson-Wilkin, a former chaplain to Elizabeth II, Queen of England.

“In other words, my sisters and brothers, we have got to care about each other. And not just the each other whom we can see, we have got got to care about what is happening in Cuba — yes, the blockade that is happening in Cuba. We’ve got to care about what is happening in Haiti, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We’ve got to care about what is happening in Sudan and the Middle East. Why? Because we share a common humanity,” stated Bishop Hudson-Wilkin.
