Dear Editor,
Last Sunday, April 6, 2007, was an evening of prayers and not politics, as a group of Guyanese and friends of Guyana in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC, gathered together at the Church in Bethesda (which is in Bethesda), a rather upscale city in Montgo-mery County, Maryland, to offer prayerful petitions to God for an end to the murders, wanton shedding of blood, crime, gang activities and the drug culture that is threatening to overtake our beloved country, Guyana.
Among the prayerful group was the Ambassador to the United States of America and the Organisation of American States, Mr Bayney Karran who was accompanied by his charming wife, Donna.
