Re: Hundreds witness...
The consecration of Rev. Father Laish Boyd took place at a packed Christ Church Cathedral in Nassau, which brought together Anglicans from all walks of life, a host of Anglican bishops from throughout the Caribbean and members of parliament.
A true "family" affair, Father Boyd walked into the church not long after two of his three sons, who serve as acolytes, entered.
His sister delivered the first reading and his wife, the second reading, while his youngest son looked on from a front pew.
Before taking the oath, Bishop Boyd received a powerful charge from the Rt. Rev. Dr. The Honourable John Holder, bishop of the Diocese of Barbados, who admonished his colleague to speak boldly and balance authority with compassion.
He reminded the new bishop that the step he has taken comes at a critical time in the history of the Anglican Church, which is searching for answers to new questions, while still wrestling with many of the old ones.
He implored Bishop Boyd not to fall into the bad habit of finding quick and ready-made answers for them all, for "there may be none."
