Nationals in New York turn out in their numbers to give thanks for 43 years of Independence<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only standing room remained as Antiguans and Barbudans filled the pews of the Westchester Methodist Church in the Bronx yesterday Sunday 27th October as they came together to give thanks for the 43 years of nationhood of the country of their birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Independence Service is organized annually by the Antigua and Barbuda Consulate General in New York and traditionally brings nationals from the tri-state area to solemnly reflect on the significant strides of the nation, while celebrating their heritage and enduring connection to a land they still call home.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The service was filled with inspiring messages from the country\u2019s political leadership, including Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne and the collection of Antiguan and Barbudan clergy who presided over the proceedings.  Also bringing greetings was Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Walton Webson.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In his message, delivered on his behalf by Consular Officer Michelle Lightfoot, Prime Minister Browne sung the praises of the Antigua and Barbuda diaspora for the role they continue to play in the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed to the example of the pandemic as a prime example of the firmly entrenched familial ties that have allowed the country to survive tough times, making it possible for Antigua and Barbuda to enjoy substantial economic growth today.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile my government\u2019s policies account for the phenomenal growth, the contributions by the diaspora to their families, friends and commerce in the country were substantial,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The sermon was preached by Rev. Elouise Hill-Challenger, who encouraged the congregation of fellow Antiguans and Barbudans to reflect on times past to highlight the many blessings that have fallen on the nation as a result of the country\u2019s leadership.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cLook at Antigua and Barbuda now. We have evolved, we have progressed, we have grown, we have expanded, and we have moved from local to global. What a blessing!\u201d Rev. Hill Challenger stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe leadership of Antigua and Barbuda has been one of action to encourage unity, unity that allows us to say, \u2018remember when\u2019,\u201d she continued, urging nationals to make use of their numerous skills and resources to tap into the fabric of the new Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Ambassador Webson described the work of the Consulate General as a humbling experience to be working tirelessly to serve the thousands of Antiguans and Barbudans who seek to maintain their connections to their homeland, even from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThank you for your support and we trust in God that we will continue to provide for you the type of support that you deserve and the high standards of service that we Antiguans and Barbudans are known for,\u201d Ambassador Webson stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In addition, Attache at the Antigua and Barbuda Mission Jackley Peters gave a moving tribute to the late Dr. Patrick Lewis, a former Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations, who passed away earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also leading prayers during the service was an all Antiguan and Barbudan clergy that included Rev. Dr. Ava Jolley, Evangelist Patricia Ralph, Rev. Dr. Dave Allen, Rev. Dr. Gordon Edwards, and Rev. Dr. Freddie Mason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Antigua and Barbuda International Chorale, directed by the Very Rev. Belgrave Pelle and the City South Steel Orchestra, led the singing patriotic songs in the flag waving and music filled celebration to give thanks for the country\u2019s celebration of 43 years of Independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The celebration continues on November 16 when Antiguans and Barbudans in New York gather for the annual Independence Gala on at the Glen Island Harbour Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
