The Roman Catholic Bishops of the Caribbean, the Antilles Episcopal
Conference (AEC), have over the past forty years written statements
addressed to their faithful and people in the wider Caribbean. The
statements covered a wide range of issues impinging on the life and
faith of Caribbean people, including political engagement, crime
and violence, homosexuality, HIV-AIDS, sexuality, the environment.
A key theme running through the statements is the concern with
justice. This collection of critical essays and personal
reflections explores the insights provided by these statements. In
so doing, it presents a critical reading of the corpus with a view
to presenting its relevance to the regional and global conversation
on matters of human flourishing. The authors of the volume
represent the diverse voices from within the Catholic Caribbean,
particularly some fresh new voices. This collection brings together
the voices of men and women--pastors, laity, theologians, political
leaders, educators; each essayist considers a specific statement
and provides a commentary and interpretation of its contents as
well as a considered assessment of its impact on the life of the
faithful. Academics, lay persons, pastors, policy makers and
politicians will find this a useful collection.
