The recently held Trinity Trod Youth Alliance Gathering held in Antigua from the 13th-19th August, 2008 was a success and was able to accomplish most of its mission and objectives. The Trinity Trod Youth Alliance Gathering is a Spiritual RasTafari Organization based on the Faith, Principles and Teachings of Christ and Haile Selassie First being our Comforter and Defender of I and I Faith God Manifest in Flesh.
We uphold the Faith of The Orthodox Church of Ethiopia and live according to the ways of Haile Selassie First. We have adopted a three-way Secretariat in St. Kitts, Antigua and St. Martin, where we have Executive functioning and committees established. Our three previously held Gathering were in St. Kitts and Hosted by the Theocracy Reign Ancient Order of Melcheizedec House of David.
This recent Gathering in Antigua had over fifty Three delegates from overseas including 20 persons from St. Kitts with 15 being under the age of 25years, 32 delegates came from St. Martin and One coming from Anguilla.
The Gathering was hosted by The Falmoth Youth Bible Study in Antigua. We deliberated on various topics during a variety of Panel Discussions, such as Spirituality and The seven Sacraments, Agriculture Trade and Commerce and Organic Farming with a unique twist of Spiritual Agriculture a comparison of the growth in Spirituality and Agriculture. We reasoned about Marcus Garvey and his contribution to society during his Earthlight on the 17th August.
~~Adz:Right~~ We had two baptisms and one sanctification of a baby. There was a delivery by High grade a youth from St. Kitts concerning The Teaching of Hola Trinity and guiding the youths for a better tomorrow. We had a Bible Study, Arts and Craft Session, and fun sports for the Youths and an Adult Bible Study for the General Public. The entire Gathering was productive and we concluded that it was necessary as short tem goals to establish a Day Care Centre for Children between 3-5 years old; another short term goal is to establish a Farming Cooperative and continue our trading links that is already established between St. Kitts and St. Martin.
These two projects will be initiated in St. Kitts then we will expand to establish them in Antigua and St. Martin. Our future plan is to buy or build a boat that will transport people and Cargo and Agricultural produce between the Islands. There was a general consensus among I and I towards organic Farming with the direct elimination of Gramazone (herb Killer) during the process of land preparation.
There was a host of Government Officials that made presentations, at the Opening ceremony we were bless with a presentation from the Governor General of Antigua and the Minister of Culture. We also had The Head Teacher of the Cobbs Cross Primary and the Director of Youth Affairs come and reason on the Importance of Education.
