JAMAICA
The Minister of Finance and the Public Service has called on the Church to continue playing a critical role in shaping modern Jamaica, especially at a time when the middle class is retreating from politics.
Dr Nigel Clarke made this comment to guests who were present at the Stella Maris Charities Fundraising Dinner at the Spanish Court Hotel last June where he congratulated the organisation for promoting the kind of voluntarism that brings lasting and meaningful change to the lives of Jamaicans.
