“In the moment of a national crisis, a moment of great danger…a people must decide: ‘Who shall we be?’” Archbishop Michael Curry, January 2021
The words of Archbishop Michael Curry, uttered in response to the horrific events at the US Capitol this week, applied to voters in the former Colony of The Bahamas in 1967, as it applies today to Bahamians as citizens of a sovereign nation.
As Curry stated, those words also applied to Americans at many points in their nation’s history.
The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that they also apply to every member of the human race.
