Church of the Ascension,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, New AmsterdamIn a statement issued by that church’s governing body and signed by Monsignor Terrence Montrose, the parish priest, states, “We write in support of all likeminded Guyanese to further condemn the Editorial in the State’s newspaper which was unfortunately funded by taxpayers’ money. We see this as an abomination and as a total insult to all our Indian and African brothers in Guyana”.The council added that it is a shame that the writer of the editorial has “created a profile of the black race based on criminal elements” and questioned what results the “racial profiling” would bring.“As a church, we do not want to stand for such hurtful statements to our Afro- brothers”. The statement went on to say that the editorial piece unjustly labeled Afro- youths as criminals– “young,Cheap NFL Jerseys, promising youths”– and it dampens the spirits of such youths in Guyana.“We believe that such editorial would send the wrong signals at a point when there is an upsurge in criminal activities.
