THE REVEREND Al Miller has blamed the non-development of downtown Kingston on the shedding of innocent blood in communities there, for which, he said, there has been no 'justice' or 'atonement'.
"It is one of the reasons why the communities and surrounding communities cannot develop. No matter what we do, it can't develop. No matter how much money they spend, it can't produce anything because bloodshed pollutes the land and until you make atonement and clean it up no amount of money spent going to make any difference," said the Rev. Miller.
He made the statements during a 'Jamaica Bawl Out' prayer meeting at Coronation Market on Spanish Town Road in downtown Kingston on Sunday.
The function was supported by hundreds of people from nearby communities.
UNDER A CURSE
He argued that the land was under a curse and this had to be addressed quickly. He further pointed out that persons who know of crimes committed and kept quiet were also guilty of the crime.
"God seh if you see and know about it and yuh no talk, this a when yuh haffi seh like Red Rat, 'Me haffi talk, me haffi talk' because it brings a curse on your community and it cannot prosper and it cannot be blessed until the atonement is made for the blood of the innocent that was shed," he said.
The Jamaica Bawl Out Committee, he said, provides the vehicle for the country to make atonement before God publicly for the shedding of the innocent blood over the years so that the nation can begin to prosper again.
Hundreds of people holding hands in files of two marched along Darling Street 'bawling out' against corruption, idolatry, witchcraft, whoredom, sexual immorality and homosexuality and bloodshed, murder and abortions.
