"The proclamation of the Word is central to the faith life of the people in the Caribbean, a region where people are described as "religious" and Bible-reading. Because the people of the Caribbean place much emphasis on the proclamation of the Word, they have great expectations of the preacher... Given this tendency to favour the proclaimed word, it can be said that shepherds who do not feed the sheep create the conditions for someone else to feed them."
