As ten­sions be­tween the Unit­ed States and Venezuela con­tin­ue to cause anx­i­ety in Trinidad and To­ba­go and across the Caribbean, Arch­bish­op Ja­son Gor­don yes­ter­day called on peo­ple to ac­cept the gift of peace and let it guide every as­pect of their lives.

Gor­don, pres­i­dent of the An­tilles Epis­co­pal Con­fer­ence (AEC), re­mind­ed his con­gre­ga­tion dur­ing his New Year’s Day homi­ly at Our La­dy of Per­pet­u­al Help Church in San Fer­nan­do of the AEC’s call for Jan­u­ary 1 to be ob­served as a Caribbean Day of Prayer for Peace amid ris­ing ten­sions in the Caribbean Sea.
