LAST year, Easter Sunday saw five people in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Port of Spain with Archbishop Jason Gordon being one of them.
This year, instead of preaching to a camera, two musicians and one deacon, Gordon was able to speak to an almost full, yet socially-distanced cathedral. And his joy was palpable. Hallelujah, hallelujah, that s why it s so joyful. When you think back to last year and how it was, this year really having the congregation is amazing, he told reporters after his Easter Sunday service.
