Pastor Ted Wilson, the president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), has commended Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness for the Jamaican government’s stance on upholding the country’s reputation for religious liberty and tolerance.
Addressing Saturday’s hosting of the SDA Church’s Ambassador Convention 2025, at the West Jamaica Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in Montego Bay, St James, Wilson said the right to freedom of worship is one of Jamaica’s keynote attributes.
“I want to thank the country and the Government of Jamaica for religious liberty in this country, otherwise we would not be able to meet in this auditorium. I want to thank the prime minister [Holness], the Parliament, and all of those who are in government, for protecting and sustaining religious liberty, as it is a foundation of prosperity for this country,” Wilson said before offering a brief prayer for Jamaica’s leaders.
