The Breakfast Show welcomes Venerable Edwin Primus, Vicar General of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Trinidad and Tobago, for a profound conversation about faith, society, and the role of religion during one of the nation's most challenging periods.
As a senior church leader during the unprecedented replacement of Independence Day celebrations with a Day of Prayer and Reflection due to security concerns, Venerable Primus brings spiritual perspective to both immediate national crises and broader questions about religion's place in modern society.
Our thought-provoking discussion explores faith's intersection with society:
The significance of replacing Independence Day festivities with a Day of Prayer and Reflection and what this reveals about the nation's spiritual needs
Whether religion's influence in Trinidad and Tobago society is declining or evolving in the modern era
The church's role and effectiveness in addressing crime and criminality in communities across the nation
Whether religious institutions are adequately meeting society's needs or failing in their mission
The relevance of organized religion in addressing contemporary social challenges like violence, corruption, and moral decay
How faith communities can more effectively contribute to national healing and social transformation
The balance between spiritual guidance and practical action in addressing societal problems
Whether the turn to prayer during crisis represents genuine faith or desperation
Beyond immediate concerns, Venerable Primus discusses the evolving role of the church in Caribbean society and how religious institutions can remain relevant while addressing the complex challenges facing modern Trinidad and Tobago.
Don't miss this essential conversation about faith, society, and the search for spiritual solutions to earthly problems.
