[Anglican Communion News Service] Churches in the Bahamas are helping feed hundreds of people left with nothing after their homes were swept away last month in Hurricane Dorian.
A report from the bishop of The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, Laish Boyd, has cataloged the damage to churches, church properties and their members and also reveals how many churches are continuing to provide a lifeline to communities.
Shortly after the hurricane struck, the bishop encouraged his clergy and congregations to reach out to those in need around them.
