SOURCE: OBSERVER – Antigua’s Christian Ministries Centre has implemented a new policy that prohibits cannabis smokers from becoming godparents during christenings or dedications at the church.
Bishop Charlesworth Browne, the head of the Christian Ministries Centre, made this decision to ensure that godparents actively promote Christian values and do not conflict with parental guidance.
The church believes that marijuana use can have destructive effects, particularly on impressionable young minds.
During the session with potential godparents, a declaration is now made that marijuana smokers cannot fulfill the role.
Bishop Browne emphasized the importance of godparents assisting in providing a godly and Christian upbringing.
While some Caribbean countries have decriminalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, the Christian Ministries Centre has taken a firm stance against its use in the context of godparent responsibilities.
The church aims to ensure that godparents serve as positive role models and uphold Christian principles.
This policy highlights the ongoing debate surrounding marijuana’s acceptance and its compatibility with religious practices.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa! Keep pushing #Bulling.
Are you going to prevent cigarette smokers and alcohol drinkers too? Are you going to do a drug screening? This makes no sense except for publicity!
The bishop is simply showing you who he has always been..and what religion truly is..
[Maikem will never prevail..your karma awaits you]
The Bishop shouldn’t be showing me ,,who he is.
The Bishop should be showing,,,,,Gods word and ,a path to Godliness.
Not his ego
A very poor attempt in the search for relevance.
As Charlesworth Browne stands proudly showing his support of Gay Pride with the colours,,he exhibits,,, ” a thing” the Bible,,specifically lashes out against,,(Leviticus 18-20),he,,Mr Browne,,lashes out against Cannibas,, “a thing” the Bible specifically,,,endorses.
Genesis 1 29-30.
What a way,,to lead,,,or MIS-lead his flock.
You go boy
You go Shepard,,,keep misleading your sheep using your EGO,wrapped in a political agenda.
@WTF. This man of the cloth has made his position clear about the gay lifestyle

For years Browne has rallied AGAINST proposed law changes, such as the overturning of the anti-sodomy law in Antigua and Barbuda.
If you have an umbrella,,,if you have a shoe,,,,if you have a dress,,,if you have a hand bag,,,,if you have a belt,,,,with the colors adopted by the LGBT community you are ,,,wittingly or unwittingly,, showing support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) pride and LGBTQ social movements.
The enemy is very sneaky
With a very,,anti Gay voting record,,this X US senator, ,Larry Craig…..was caught in an Airport, Bathroom,,soliciting an undercover cop for sex.
Mr Craig,,was very much on record about Battyman-isms.

This man is such a hypocrite. He did not want to shake the apple cart for fear of a backlash and in a quest to aid his party in winning the election, he allowed the law to pass unchallenged and after six months, here he is with his rhetoric. Tenpeople and all the other henchmen have nothing to say on the issue; month end is not very far away.
Forget abt the godparents, what of the parents that smoke, lol, this is such a joke
We all know the church is a business, so they will make decisions that’s good for the profit (prophet) 😃😄 (anyway you want to spell it) of the church.
Gay people spend a lot of money, so it’s good for business for the church, so they will gladly accept the LGBTQ society as great “God parents” but not the Ganga smoker.
I don’t smoke, but this is pure hypocrisy at its highest. So the Christian that has a cabinet full of 40% liquor bottles make for a good “God parent”?. What otter hypocrisy. Just preach the word and stay out of the news bishop. Smdh.
*utter*
He who is without sin cast the first stone.
Leave the Caucasian God alone and go look a real job.
1. How you gonna know the person(s) smoke
2. Did you ask the parents if they smoke
3. Is your heart clean worrying about others.
Cause you busy building your heaven here with church going ppl money while telling your congregation their heaven is after death. Go look into your church members and see how many of them smoke, or having sex with kids, sex with their neighbors or other church members who are married already…
HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.
ALOT OF YOU SO CALLED PASTORS CANT EVEN BEND TO PICK UP A STONE CAUSE YOUR DO CALLED GOD WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN AS YOU BEND
Tell them go Fudge Themselves, my God gave is weed and imma smoke it
