‘Holy Spirit moves through Woman of Worth Conference’ By ALESHA CADET Tribune Features Writer acadet@tribunemedia.net

omen threw their hands up, kneeled down in supplication and praised the Almighty as they felt the Holy Spirit move through them at last week’s Woman of Worth Conference and Retreat. Christie Cadet founded the Christian nonprofit Woman of Worth Movement two years with a goal to educate, develop and empower all women in a godly way. Based in Freeport, Grand Bahama, the organisation hosted its second annual conference and retreat last week, October 4-9. The event featured a business seminar, brunch, an empowerment retreat weekend and a conference. “In an unconventional way, the Holy Spirit moved through the whole conference and retreat 2023,” said Christie. “Words can’t even begin to describe what the women that were in attendance experienced. The turnout we had from supporters was incredible. Women from New Providence, several of the Family Islands and also the United States and Canada showed their support in a mega way. We are pleased to report that the outcome was indeed greater than last year’s event.” She said women from different walks of life all gathered unashamedly in the name of Jesus the Christ. Organisers saw a lot of familiar faces from last year’s event, but also a lot of new faces.

“It was indeed heartwarming to see the growth and expansion of the WOW Movement’s impact in the lives of women,” said Christie. “More women are getting wind of the way Yahweh is moving at the WOW Movement and they are jumping on board without hesitation. Several women reached out to me via Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp to share their experience from the events.” One attendee said: “I didn’t take note of the time at all. I wanted to stay there all night because of the presence of God that was in the room.” Another added: “When I walked into the room, I never felt a presence like that and I am always in church.

When I stepped in the room, I just wanted to cry because of the presence of God that was thick in the room.” Christie said the focus this year was to encourage women to become their best selves and reach their next level of greatness. Organisers wanted to create a space for women to build their faith, be restored spiritually, emotionally and mentally; hence a two-night worship experience. “So many women entered those rooms wounded, broken and spiritually low, but left revived, empowered and ready to show up whole,” said Christie. “The way women were bowing down and laying out at the altar

was a clear demonstration of Holy Spirit freeing and transforming women that so desperately needed it. We also wanted to create a space for woman to learn practical kingdom principles on how to birth, build, manage and scale successful businesses so we hosted a one-day business seminar/brunch.” The week culminated with a weekend retreat at a private rental home. Christie said she and her team are now already planning for next year, and maybe even for Christmas. “My team and I have been discussing the need to make our presence felt more in the

community and to give back in more tangible ways. We are a newly established organisation so we are looking to partner with other non-profit organisations to do some community outreach,” she said. “Hopefully, in December of this year, provided that we have the financial support, we truly desire to assist some single mothers, widows and women in need with groceries, gas vouchers and other resources needed to ensure they are not forgotten and neglected during the holidays.” Those interested, can follow the Woman of Worth Movement on its social media platforms on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

Anglican Diocese hosts annual conference for healing with focus on youth THE Anglican Diocese of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands will be hosting its third annual Healing Conference October 20 – 21 in the Auditorium of St John’s College in New Providence. The theme for the conference is “Deep Calling into Deep: Divine Encounter; Empowered Disciples” and the theme scripture comes from Psalm 42:7. The objectives of the conference are:
UÊ / Ê Õ `iÀÃÌ> `Ê Ì >ÌÊ going deeper with God helps with healing. UÊ/ Ê}> Ê> ÊÕ `iÀÃÌ> `ing of how faith and prayer are intertwined. UÊ/ ÊiÝ> iÊÌ iÊ}À ÜÌ Ê in spiritual discipline as it relates to our walk with God. UÊ/ ÊiÝ«iÀ i ViÊÌ iÊ«ÀiÃence of God. This year’s conference will be somewhat of a departure from the previous two.
One of the main focuses will be on young people, preparing them for leadership roles in the prayer and healing ministry, allowing them a platform so that believers can hear what God is saying through them and encourage them to be an influence among their peers. “We know that God has given us the responsibility to train our young people so that they would be well equipped to address the challenges in life as they arise,” said the Diocese. “So, what better way to
confront these challenges but through prayer, fasting, bible study, sharing the Gospel and simply saying to others, Jesus loves you. “Our theme requires us to engage in introspection by doing a self-check on our relationship with God. Therefore, the organising committee for the conference asked themselves as they ask everyone else: How thirsty are we for the things of God? Can we hear God calling to us in the depths of our hearts? Do we take time from our busy schedules and
our daily activities to hear God speak? Do we want to respond to God’s call to heal the hurt and pain that we have experienced? Do we want God to heal us from the pain and injury we have inflicted on others? If you can truly say yes to these questions, and you know that God desires you to be his vessel during this period in your life, then you are encouraged to attend the third annual Healing Conference.” Speakers for the conference include Bishop Laish Boyd, Canon Basil Tynes,
BISHOP LAISH BOYD Fr Andrew Toppin, Rev Paulette Cartwright, Fr Whitfield Hutchinson, Fr Scott Jupp and Deacon John Pinder. “They have had experience with some form of healing and through the power of the Holy Spirit testify to the goodness of God in their lives,” said the Diocese.

Largest Hindu temple outside India in the modern era opens in New Jersey By LUIS ANDRES HENAO AND DEEPA BHARATH Associated Press
BISHOP J Carl Rahming and Minister Evangeline "Mum" Rahming with their children at St Paul's Baptist Church.
‘The Mayor of Fox Hill’ Bishop J Carl Rahming to be honoured for 40 years of service with gala banquet By FELICITY DARVILLE ST PAUL'S Baptist Church on Bernard Road is hosting a special gala banquet and retirement service to honour Bishop J Carl Rahming for more than four decades of dedicated service as a spiritual leader for thousands of people in the Fox Hill community. Through the years, Rev Rahming's reverence for God and his riveting messages have brought many to the St Paul's congregation, and the church has been able to expand and grow under his leadership. As recently as August past, new deacons were licenced and ministers ordained to serve the growing flock. Bishop Rahming gained recognition as a wellversed, articulate, dynamic, humble, compassionate and well-loved church leader. He was sought-after as a guest preacher throughout the Bahamas and the world, especially in the US, where he gained popularity at affiliated Baptist churches in Atlanta, Georgia, and Detroit, Michigan.
IN AUGUST, new church leaders were licenced and ordained by Bishop J Carl Rahming. At home in Fox Hill where he was born and bred, he is called "the mayor" because he has made it a point to give not only to his members, but to anyone in need in the community as best he can. He strives to give sound moral advice and as such, has become one of the leaders in the Fox Hill community. St Paul's invites members of the public to share in celebrating Bishop Rahming by joining in a special banquet to be held at Superclubs Breezes on
Friday, November 24, under the theme: "Celebrating a Faithful Servant of God the Man, the Mission, the Ministry". Tickets are $150 and can be purchased at the church on Bernard Road just before the Fox Hill Park, or by calling the church office at 435-2372. Additionally, join church members as they raise Bishop Rahming up in prayer with a service on Sunday, December 3, at 3.30pm.
IF STONES could talk, sing and tell stories, Yogi Trivedi believes the marble and limestone that adorn the spires, pillars and archways of the stunning Hindu temple in central New Jersey would compose a paean to the divine. The tales these stones tell are those of seva (selfless service) and bhakti (devotion), which form the core of the Swaminarayan sect, a branch of Hinduism, said Trivedi, a scholar of Hinduism at Columbia University. It took a combined total of about 4.7 million hours of work by artisans and volunteers to hand-carve about 2 million cubic feet of stone. The four varieties of marble from Italy and limestone from Bulgaria traveled first to India and then over 8,000 miles across the world to New Jersey. They were then fitted together like a giant jigsaw to create what is now touted as the largest Hindu temple outside India to be built in the modern era, standing on a 126-acre tract. It will open to the public on Monday. The largest temple complex in the world is the Ankgor Wat, originally constructed in the 12th century in Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia, and dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu by King Suryavarman II. It is now described as a HinduBuddhist temple, and is one of 1,199 UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Robbinsville temple is one of many built by the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha or BAPS, a worldwide religious and civic organization within the Swaminarayan sect. “Service and devotion are the two basic elements that form the subtle foundation of how a temple so majestic gets built here in central New Jersey,” said Trivedi, who studies the Swaminarayan faith tradition and follows it.
This temple will be the third Akshardham or “abode of the divine” the organisation has built after two others in New Delhi and Gujarat, where BAPS is headquartered. The former is the largest Hindu temple complex in the world. The sect, which will celebrate its 50th year in North America next year, oversees more than 1,200 temples and 3,850 centers around the world. The New Jersey Akshardham, which has been in the works for about 12 years, came under scrutiny and criticism after a 2021 civil lawsuit alleging forced labor, meager wages and grim working conditions. Twelve of the 19 plaintiffs have now retracted their allegations and the lawsuit is on hold pending an investigation “with which BAPS continues to cooperate fully,” Trivedi said. The complaint alleges that those exploited were Dalits or members of the former untouchable caste in India. Caste is an ancient system of social hierarchy based on one’s birth that is tied to concepts of purity and social status. The case continues to raise questions among activists fighting caste discrimination and those advocating for workers’ rights, about the blurred lines between uncompensated work and the concept of selfless service, which followers of the faith say constitutes their core belief. Trivedi said these allegations weighed heavily on community members because their faith has always taught them “to see the divine in all and love and serve them as manifestations of the divine.” He said Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the sect’s fifth spiritual successor, who envisioned such a temple campus in the United States, was a progressive guru who cared deeply about social equality. “Caste and class do not divide us,” Trivedi said. The temple project brought forth volunteerism
and service, which like the sculptor’s chisel, chip away people's egos and prime them to learn, he said. “In that learning, one becomes a better person within and that is the end goal of seva,” Trivedi said. “It’s not just to give to the community or build these (ornate structures), but to better oneself.” He said the temple would not have been possible without the service of thousands of volunteers many of whom took time off school and work to serve in different capacities. This might be the first Hindu temple where women were involved in the actual temple construction under the artisans’ supervision, he added. This week, families from across the country, have been streaming into the temple campus to get a sneak peek. Devotees bowed to each other and to monks in saffron robes. As the sun set, two men in white robes performed a ceremony in front of the 49-foot-tall statue of the Bhagwan Nilkanth Varni, who later became known as Bhagwan Swaminarayan, the founder of the sect who ushered in a moral and spiritual renaissance in western India. Other worshippers prostrated on the floor pressing their foreheads to the ground in reverence. As night fell, Nikita Patel meditated and lit an incense stick before the deity. “All religions, all communities are welcome here,” she said, “And here, they will feel the peace.” Trivedi said he does not view the temple “just as a Hindu place of worship.” “It’s not even just Indian or Indian American,” he said, adding that the temple stands for universal values that can be found in every religious text and in the hearts and minds of great thinkers and leaders of every era. “What we’ve tried to do is express these universal values in a way that relate to all visitors.”
