Click to view full size

A group of Christian churches known as the TT Council of Evangelical Churches (TTCEC) has reacted to the government's introduction of Play Whe on Sundays by issuing a strong condemnation of gambling in a statement on January 15.

"Gambling is addictive and can be fed by an increasing acceptance of it in society," TTCEC lamented.

"The issue of allowing gambling on Sundays and thereby increasing gambling overall can have a deleterious impact on the nation."
