CCSJ’s Chair, Leela Ramdeen, introduces Sir Ellis Clarke – feature speaker at the Seminar on Friday 24 Sept. 2010 (Republic Day)
Good afternoon brothers and sisters. Welcome to the start of CCSJ’s Respect For Life Week – an initiative that was born during Synod in 2009 when there was a groundswell of opinion that each year the Archdiocese should observe such a week. RFLW, therefore, is one of the Synod Resolutions that CCSJ is implementing since it falls within our remit.
