An Open Letter to Mr. Gladson Henry

Sep 12, 2020 Letters

DEAR MR HENRY,

I wish to express deepest appreciation for your sentiments as stated through the media in recent days.
For all my conscious years, like so many of us, I have seen and described myself as being a Christian. More so, in recent times I have had to lament in my mature years “being Christian is hard work”.
The gruesome events surrounding the tragic deaths of Joel and Isaiah have brought so many of us to deep despair and anger at this abomination in our dear motherland, Guyana.
I have seen via the media, a Father who had just witnessed a post mortem of the mutilated remains of his child yet finding space in his most wounded soul to tell us about his continuing love for all his neighbours.
Your acclamation that the teachings you had received is your unfailing guide, is very profound.
You have brought home to me, and no doubt many others, that there is yet a higher level to our previously held values of loving our neighbours as ourselves, though very hard at times.
A most important lesson for us is that our Guyana can produce human beings that are capable of so much love, compared to the evil doers who snuffed out the lives of Joel and Isaiah.
I pray that someday we can embrace with a joint prayer for Joel and Isaiah; that their lives and violent passing may bring our people and country to a better place with more love and understanding.
Thank you for shining the light in our darkness. May you and your family be always blessed.

A Brother
