Church on Essequibo Coast agitates residents

May 09, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
It bothers me a lot to know that several complaints were made to the Anna Regina Police Station for the irritating noise that a Deliverance church has been causing for several years now. Their method of praying involves shouting at the top of their voices when beating out demons. This is very atrocious and irksome.
Also they sometimes make reference to Hindus deities as demonic.
Services are usually conducted almost every Saturday and Sundays and sometimes during the week also for lengthy hours using a P.A. Sound System. The speakers usually hung outside the church makes it impossible for residents to communicate within their own home.
My mother, who is 81, can’t even answer her telephone as much. The residents around here are afraid to make any complains since they might be victimized.
Among the residents are several senior citizens almost 80 years old. They had work and toil in their younger only to find that their once peaceful village has become a nightmare. My mother is presently suffering from a nervous breakdown because of the noise blast which this demonic church is involved in.
I am totally fed up with the situation. Even though the following steps were taken the situation has worsened –made over 50 reports to the Anna Regina Police Station, via phone and face to face interaction; signed to two statements at the Anna Regina Police Station; went to the Station and make the written reports; meeting with the Sergeant on two occasions; spoke with the  new Commander on several occasion; sent a registered letter to Minister Priya Manickchand on 29/06/2011; tried to make contact with the minister of Home Affairs but was not succeeded; called the Ministry of Home Affairs hotline number several times.
If at all there should be any action for improvement on this matter it has to be through you. I have full faith and trust in you that you‘ll handle this matter urgently- not for me but for old mom and all the residents who are suffering silently out of fear.
