Dear Editor,
On Monday, May 11, 2015 just under a half million Guyanese exercised their constitutional right during our general elections. While there were a few reports of disquietude, the people of this country behaved in an exemplary manner. It was noteworthy to external observers to note this, and equally as important, it was a self-affirmation that the vast majority of Guyanese are honourable, decent and orderly people.
In the aftermath of the election, we salute the outstanding service and efforts of those who have served and will no longer serve in government. The people have spoken and have indicated whom they have reposed their trust in to manage our national affairs.
The new government is the government of our country. In congratulating, His Excellency, Brigadier David Granger and his colleagues on their victory, we commend them to our prayers and pledge our collective support for the further building and strengthening of Guyana. This is the time for all Guyanese, and persons who desire what is best for Guyana, to unite.
The campaigning must cease. The election is over. There must be no voices of partisanship. The collaborative work of continued development in a true spirit of national pride under the supremacy of God, must be the national agenda.
Like I stated after the elections of 2011, I reiterate, that the Anglican Church stands ready to work with the government in advancing the cause of Jesus Christ, and in spiritually, morally, socially and materially assisting all and sundry in improving the quality of life for all who call this dear land of Guyana, home.
May God bless you, and may He bless the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
Yours faithfully,
The Right Reverend
Cornell Jerome Moss, DD
Bishop of the Anglican
Church of Guyana
