(Guyana Graphic November 20,1972)
A City parson who has been criticized by some persons because he has been preparing a kitchen garden in the backyard of his manse yesterday told his congregation :”There is too much time in Guyana to idle, so people gossip all the time.”
The Rev. Dr. Benjamin . O . Berry Presiding Elder of the AME Zion Church said that since his appointment he has been engaged in planting in the backyard and he was aware that there was some criticism going the rounds.
Dr. Berry recently returned from the USA expressed the hope that the congregation would follow the noble duty and plant in order to be able to have enough for themselves and to spare a morsel to some needy person.
