Our purpose is also to understand how church life has been shaped in the region. Or again, what are the particularities of theology as it has developed in the region reflecting the unique history and culture of the islands. Is it connected to the life and work of people or separated, offering solace for what cannot be found in this life. Throughout our time in the Caribbean we will visit sites of historical and touristic interest. Time will be found to visit local beaches, with swimming and scuba available, as well as sites that are important to the colonial and revolutionary history of the islands.
All sites are dependent upon further changes and arrangements.

We will be staying at the United Theological College of the West Indies and visiting St. Michael's Theological Center and other church and social settings on the island.
