Grenada, West Indies

Filed under: There,

Ninety miles off the coast of Venezuela lies the nearly-hidden island of Grenada. Unlike most of the Caribbean, Grenada still remains largely unknown and undeveloped, saving it from the vast estates of resorts that dominate other areas. Then in 2004, the island as a whole was battered dramatically during Hurricane Ivan, so the slow rebuilding and scattered ruins have kept it at a native level. This is the charm of Grenada.

It may be a third-world country, but the Grenadian people are loving, polite and modest, always wearing clean, pressed clothes and treating even the most run-down church or home with sincere and honest care. Animals walk alongside the roads as Reggae buses veer wildly around the narrow curves. Just like the clear, clean water, the island of Grenada is one of the purest places on earth.

Spirituality in the Subway

One of the benefits of working in the religious press is that I have learned, over time and experience, how to properly talk about religion. We’ve all been advised, of course, to “never discuss religion and politics in polite company,” and most of the time that serves us well in avoiding a wicked argument or boring discourse. But religion, like most complicated subjects, can be discussed in an objective, intellectual manner that makes for fascinating and enlightening conversations, as long as its speakers know enough about it to make it worth attempting, that is.
