A HIGH Court judge has urged voters to be guided by their spiritual values when they cast their vote to choose the nation’s leaders.

Justice Frank Seepersad gave the advice during his Holy Week sermon at the Penal Presbyterian Church on April 16. He reminded worshippers that Jesus’s model of leadership involved humility, obedience, and service – abandoning divine privilege to serve humanity.

In his sermon, which focused on the spiritual and national significance of the season, Seepersad urged the congregation to consider Pilate’s role in the Easter story as a cautionary example of poor leadership.
