Michael James

The very first meeting of the bishops of the then colonial British West Indies, later to become the Antilles Episcopal Conference (AEC) with the incorpo- ration of the French and Dutch West Indies, took place on January 21–22, 1948, in Kingston, Jamaica. Among those attending the meeting were Archbishop Finbar Ryan, OP, of Port of Spain, Trinidad; Bishop Thomas Emmet, SJ, of Jamaica; Bishop George Weld, SJ, of ; and Bishop Antoine Demets of Roseau, Dominica. The only Caribbean-born attendee was Jamaican Fr. (later Msgr.) Gladstone Wilson in his position as the Secretary to the Conference. The meeting took place at a time of major social and political changes around the world, particularly in the British Empire. The “winds of change” had brought independence to and Pakistan, and independence move- ments had already taken root in the colonial Caribbean. The major issues addressed at this first meeting of the incipient AEC, included the relationship of the Catholic Church in the region to the fledg- ing University College of the West Indies (UCWI), which later became the University of the West Indies (UWI). The bishops agreed that they should offer the fullest cooperation in the development of higher educa- tion in the region. Bishop Emmet, noting that it would probably take a long time before the University could provide adequate buildings and facil- ities for its premedical course, proposed exploring the possibility of making the services and facilities of the Jesuit-run St George’s College in downtown Kingston available to the budding University until it could develop its campus at Mona. It was also noted that Dr T. W. J. Taylor, principal of the University Col- lege, would welcome the cooperation of the Catholic Hierarchy, including the establishing of a Catholic Chaplaincy to the University and the Catholic joining the teaching faculty. Very early discussions on possible philo- sophical and theological inputs to the University would be later realized in the establishment of close links between UWI and the academic programs of the Catholic St. Michael’s Seminary in Jamaica and St. John Vianney Seminary 272 Appendix 5: The Antilles Episcopal Conference in Trinidad, the ecumenical United Theological College of the West Indies at Mona, and the Anglican Codrington College in Barbados. Catholic involvement in early West Indian university education was also recognized by the AEC in 1948 as an important aspect of promoting greater local Catholic involvement in the social, political, and public life of the region. The bishops at that inaugural meeting also addressed as urgent the devel- opment of a local diocesan Catholic , made even more urgent by the growing nationalism in the region and the general trend of the European powers to cede greater self-determination to their colonies. In 1943, the Benedictine Order had started a training program for local candidates to the priesthood for its monastery community in Trinidad. Archbishop Ryan, however, obtained permission from the Vatican to open a Seminary for training diocesan priests at a site just below the Monastery in 1948 and with great foresight predicted that it would become the “Central Religious Seminary” for the whole of the West Indies region. The Seminary officially became the AEC Regional Seminary of St. John Vianney and the Uganda Martyrs in 1970, and has trained scores of Caribbean priests as well as larger numbers of lay university theology students. (Teaching at the Seminary has been suspended for a period of three years from June 30, 2010, for the purposes of improving the facilities and enrolment, increas- ing the resident faculty, and developing the financial base for the Regional Seminary.) The Conference was represented by Archbishop Ryan as an Observer at the first Continental Meeting of Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean (CELAM) in Rio de Janeiro in 1955 and the following year approved the statutes for the AEC whose objective was “to study problems of common interest pertaining to the Catholic Church in the area.” The decision was taken in 1957 to adopt the name “Antilles Episcopal Conference” mak- ing way for it to broaden its membership across the region. The bishops also agreed to set up a Permanent Secretariat in Kingston, Jamaica. The AEC Secretariat would remain in Kingston until 1990 when, at the initia- tive of the then President Archbishop Kelvin Felix of Castries, St. Lucia, the AEC took the decision to move the Secretariat to an AEC-acquired property in Port of Spain, Trinidad, and to appoint a full-time general secretary. By 1957, with full AEC support, a Catholic Chaplaincy headed by Fr. Louis Grenier, SJ, was established at UCWI Mona to serve the nascent Univer- sity whose student population was then just 480 from across the Caribbean, including 80 Catholics. Fr. Grenier had argued convincingly for the estab- lishment of a “first class Catholic Student Centre” on the grounds that the present students in years to come would be occupying the very top posts in government, business, and the professions across the Caribbean. A permanent, modern “Aquinas Centre” to serve the needs of the Uni- versity community was inaugurated 1961 (Today it is St. Thomas Aquinas Church). Appendix 5: The Antilles Episcopal Conference 273

In 1958, the AEC became a full member of CELAM, while the decision was taken to also work towards a broadening of the regional conference to include the Dutch Antilles and Suriname, the French-speaking territories of French Guyana, Martinique and Guadeloupe, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. In 1963, the first non-English-speaking bishop Stephen Kuijpers of Paramaribo represented the Dutch Antilles at an AEC Annual Plenary Meet- ing (APM). In 1971, the French Antilles joined the AEC as observers. (They would confirm their status as full members at the AEC meeting in 1983 in Cayenne, French Guyana.) The first AEC APM hosted by a non-English- speaking territory, Martinique, in 1975, was attended by the Secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Archbishop Lourdusamy, in tribute to the pioneering role of the AEC, which by 1956 had become one of the first Episcopal Conferences to receive official recognition by the Holy See, well before the holding of Second Vatican Council. In 1968, Archbishop Samuel Carter of Kingston, Jamaica, was elected the first Caribbean-born president of the AEC, succeeding Archbishop John McEleney. When Archbishop Carter was re-elected two years later, Archbishop Anthony Pantin of Port of Spain was elected vice president and Bishop Anthony Dickson of Bridgetown, Barbados, Episcopal Secretary, prompting the AEC to note that “for the first time in the history of the Con- ference since its inception in 1957, all the officers are West Indians—two Jamaicans and a Trinidadian” (Press release November 12, 1970). A Trinidad Catholic News article on the 1971 APM of the AEC quoted from the bishops’ press release:

The most notable change in the Church in the past five years had been the West Indianization of the episcopacy. Since Archbishop Carter of Jamaica was ordained bishop in 1966, there have been 10 local priests elevated to the rank of bishop. Two of these were in the French Territories, another seven in the English-speaking lands and a West Indian Bishop (Bowers) in Ghana has been transferred to Antigua. (Catholic News, July 12, 1971)

Archbishop Carter, while president of the AEC, was also a key figure in the formation of the Caribbean Conference of Churches (CCC). As the chairman of the 1969 Steering Committee for the formation of the first regional ecu- menical body worldwide, Archbishop Carter led the Roman Catholic Church into full membership; this followed the unanimous decision by the AEC to become a founding member of the CCC. The year 1969 also saw the AEC taking an increasingly active role in responding to the urgent social, cultural, and political problems facing the region, including addressing controversial issues such as the Black Power movement in the Caribbean. In 1975, the AEC published its widely-cited pastoral Justice and Peace in a New Caribbean (JPNC). In it the Caribbean bishops fully endorsed the 274 Appendix 5: The Antilles Episcopal Conference conclusions of a landmark 1971 Synod in Rome, attended by AEC President Archbishop Carter, and declared that the most important statement to emerge from the Synod was the following:

Action on behalf of justice and participation in the transformation of the world fully appear to us as constitutive dimension of the preaching of the Gospel, or, in other words, of the Church’s mission for the redemption of the human race and its liberation from every oppressive situation. (Justice and Peace in a New Caribbean §4)

“These,” the AEC stated, “are strong and clear words. They mean that we cannot separate action for justice or liberation from oppression from proclaim- ing the Word of God. The expression of our religious faith must go hand in hand with our active promotion of justice” (JPNC). And they continued,

It follows immediately from this that the work of the Church cannot be con- fined to the sacristy or the sanctuary. On the contrary, it is the Church’s vocation to be present in the heart of the world by proclaiming the Good News to the poor, freedom to the oppressed, and joy to the afflicted. Christ clearly proclaimed that this was his own mission. It must therefore also be the mission of the Church He founded. (Justice and Peace in a New Caribbean §4)

Even as the Conference spoke out on social and human rights issues, it was also calling on the Church in the Caribbean to practice what it preached. In 1972 following its Grenada APM, the AEC called on all educators, parents, and teachers in Catholic schools across the region “to strive by word, exam- ple, projects as well as suitable courses to inculcate in their pupils, principles and practice of social justice” (Press release number 4, November 11, 1972). They invited “Boards of Management, administrators and other authorities in our Catholic Schools to make it possible for parents and teachers both reli- gious and lay, to participate in the decision making processes of our schools,” and they urged “these same parents and teachers to accept this challenge.” Another press release from the same meeting called for full transparency: “We accept the principle that the annual income and expenditure and the holding in real property and in financial assists and liabilities of dioceses, parishes, church organizations and religious institutes should be open to pub- lic knowledge” (Press release number 1, November 12, 1972). Archbishop Pantin of Port of Spain was among those who led by example in moving from his residence in Port of Spain to live in Laventille, one of the poorest and most marginalized and ostracized communities in Trinidad. This and other actions demonstrated that the Catholic Church in the Caribbean had come of age. This brief account of the early days of the AEC has shown a clear trajectory: Appendix 5: The Antilles Episcopal Conference 275

● The Church discerned the movement of the Holy Spirit in the historical liberation struggles throughout the region, and played a prophetic role, that is, it attempted to re-interpret the developing social and economic events in light of the Gospel of Christ and the teaching tradition of the Catholic Church. ● The Church mobilized and organized its human and material resources in the mission of justice and peace throughout the region. ● Similar to the political leaders of the pre- and post-independence era, Church leaders identified closely with the pain and struggles of the Caribbean people, and carved out its prophetic role in the liberation movement. ● The Church’s efforts for justice and peace in the region were in tandem with the missionary work of the Universal Church. ● The Church confidently asserted itself and played a significant role in the formation of the future religious and political leaders of the region.

This is the meaning of the expression “to come of age.” Despite the Church of the region still being considered by some as “missionary,” this account presents evidence that the Church is growing in maturity, that is, taking own- ership and responsibility for the mission of Jesus Christ to the people of the region.
