• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As citizens of this great nation, The Bahamas, we have many questions to answer, not only about economic growth and sustenance but about the moral and social dilemma in which we find ourselves. Our country is in a crisis, entangled in a morass of immense crime, violence, and moral and spiritual decadence. How much longer can we survive on this path? How should nations spiraling out of control be governed? What is our role as citizens in reconstructing our nation?
How to Reconstruct a Nation takes an in-depth look at the political dynamics in The Bahamas. Included are reform ideas in the context of democracy, thoughts, experiences, and divine revelations. This combination provides thought-provoking and inspiring information on how to promote institutional integrity and the establishment of moral authority for national leadership.
No longer can we be engrossed in partisan politics and blindly follow the ill-focused and ineffective agendas of political leaders. "Government is for the people, and by the people." Therefore, we the people must make the call for constitutional reform, integrity, and righteous leadership to take our country forward.
-How should the people respond to institutions of leadership?
-The role of the church in the governing process and policy
-Is there a case for higher ethics and morality in politics?
- Legitimacy, moral authority, and accountable governance
