Bishop not aware of plans to hurt Christians

Bridgetown.

Arch-Bishop of the West Indies and Anglican Bishop of Barbados Dr John Holder says there are many Christians who were members of Masonic Lodges but he is not aware of any plan to hurt the church by fraternity members in the commercial banks.

Holder told the media that no one or group had frustrated the Anglican Church’s attempts at acquiring funds from the commercial banks.

“Whenever we want assistance from the commercial banks, it is forthcoming. It has not been an issue for us. It has not been a problem. I know of no plot against the Anglican Church.

“I know several well meaning, upright Christians who belong to Masonic Lodges, doing some extremely good community work. For us in the Anglican Church, we do not hold up the lodges as any evil organizations,” he said.

Earlier this week, Pastor Emeritus of the People’s Cathedral, Holmes Williams said that commerical banks were "stacked” with Masonic Lodge members dedicated to the demise of Christians.John_Holder_Archbishop_-_Dr-450x350
