Alford Alphonse’s acceptance speech after receiving a plaque for his service.
As a career pastor, he has never drawn a distinction between the the spiritual teachings of the Bible and social equity and justice. Instead, he has embraced the line of thinking embraced by others in the Judeo-Christian tradition who believe that the Bible and the Gospel call for spirituality to be integrated with social policy and attitudes.
Rev. Alford Alphonse
As a career pastor, I have served in the The United Kingdom, Caribbean, Panama and, of course, in the United States of America. Unlike many here, I have never drawn rigid distinctions between and among the the spiritual teachings of the Bible, social equity and justice. Instead, I have embraced the idea that the Bible and the Gospel call for spirituality to be integrated with social policy and attititudes.
