I think youre taking his statement out of context, he didn't strike me as unintelligent or a snob. Your status in life has nothing to do with honesty, this is true! Would you trust your great aunt living in First Street, who never saw as much as a $1000 dollar pay cheque with your hard earned 50 dollars or would you give it to the management of BOB to invest? Ditto for rich stealing as much. MunroeĪ thief is a thief I like that, a friend of mine once said to me that he doesnt get why people try to understand why people do what they do, he said sometimes they take it too far, "why does a thief steal" he said, "why? Because he's a thief, that's what he does!!"pretty profound and no college degree needed for that session So let us move religion out of the equation and then consider what could be done to honour Dr.
MYLES MUNROE STARS IN THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE FREE
Munroe might have been a great man, but his teachings were never free or accessible to the average poor man.
MYLES MUNROE STARS IN THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE SKIN
How many Bahamians recognize him today? There are countless other Bahamian civic leaders who have fought for the rights of every Bahamian, regardless of their skin colour, belief or social status,who have never been recognized, much less had a holiday named after them. On the other hand, you have great contributors such as the late Sir Étienne Dupuch, who introduced the first comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in the colony's history into the House of Assembly,which outlawed the practice of racial discrimination in hotels, restaurants and other public places. So when you bring a public holiday into the equation, you are forcing every Bahamian to acknowledge his teachings or beliefs. This country has many religions that do not even recognize the teachings or beliefs of Dr. However, even though the Bahamas is supposed to be built on religion, not every Bahamian is religious.
No one can deny that he has left an indelible mark on this country, as a great leader,motivational speaker and author. Myles Munroe's contribution to the Bahamas is immeasurable. Mr Williams continued: “We have lost a hero, a great Bahamian and we need to acknowledge him.”Īfter news of Dr Munroe’s death began to circulate, thousands of Bahamians and people from around the world took to Facebook and Twitter to express sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of the internationally renowned pastor.ĭr Munroe and his party were heading to Freeport to attend the Global Leadership Forum, which he was to host in Grand Bahama yesterday.ĭr. He said that these people saw the greatness of Mr Munroe. Mr Williams, who is also a taxi driver, added that many of the tourists he drives on a daily basis ask to see BFM’s compound on Carmichael Road. It doesn’t matter which road it is, the important thing is that we acknowledge this man in our history.” There should be a street, one major roadway that bears his name. “We have to find a way to preserve him, his name and what he stood for. “What Myles has done in this country from a non-political standpoint is amazing,” Mr Williams told The Tribune. He suggested that the country take initial steps to ensure that generations of Bahamians can learn what he stood for.ĭr Munroe, pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International and his wife, Ruth, were among the nine persons who died after their plane crashed Sunday in Freeport, Grand Bahama.
A LOCAL advocate has called on government to assure that internationally recognised pastor and author Dr Myles Munroe is remembered in history by naming a street after the “great Bahamian”.īahamas Love and Care Association member, Sam Williams said the government has to step up and preserve the memory of “a man that has done so much for so many”.
