Creation possesses a divine intentional destiny.
Coral reefs provide life-giving food and safety,
limestone rocks secure housing,
coral sands carpeted beaches,
colourful shells, a safe space for growing conch.
In the inner, dark, safe space of safe shells
conchs transform and grow
on the warm floor of the “Shallow seas” (Baja mar) of The Bahamas.
Inner spaces
affirming
challenging
welcoming
escalating conchs’ journey to divine destiny.
Like the conch shell,
the Bahamian soul
housed a
safe
affirming
challenging
welcoming
space for the Antillean Bishops
to listen
to dialogue
to pray
to discern
to transform:
how to recreate safe “conch-like” spaces in
relationships,
structures, and
ministries?
Growing in participation and communion,
emerging from six days of re-creation
to mission anew the Caribbean People,
to blow out sounds of “Good News”
from the conch shell of the Baja Mar’s safe space.
