Social activist Hamilton Lashley has blasted churches for deciding to close their doors during the COVID-19 crisis.
Lashley told Barbados TODAY that he was left hopping mad after learning that the Anglican Church has decided to suspend services for the next two weeks as a result of the presence of COVID-19 on the island, and has proposed to broadcast and stream live sessions online.
Lashley did not address Government’s restrictions on social gatherings in excess of 100 people. Most of the members of the Anglican Church are over age 65, considered the group most vulnerable to lethal viral illness.
But the former Minister of Social Transformation declared it was the devil’s work to close their doors at a time when citizens are living in fear and uncertainty regarding the threat of the virus, saying the church cannot allow this.
