During Grenada’s 2026 Independence anniversary interdenominational church service, prominent Seventh Day Adventist Pastor Enoch Isaac delivered a powerful sermon warning citizens about the dangers of political tribalism. Speaking at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church on February 1st, Pastor Isaac emphasized that national progress requires transcending divisions along political, religious, and class lines.\n\nThe religious leader defined political tribalism as \”an intense loyalty to a political group that often prioritizes group allegiance over objective truth and national interest.\” He cautioned that this mentality transforms political opponents into \”immoral enemies\” rather than legitimate adversaries, ultimately fostering hostility and degradation within society.\n\nIsaac called for a collective shift toward reconciliation and collaboration, stating that \”true transformation starts with the spiritual transformation of citizens.\” He urged parents to instill strong values in children and challenged leaders to govern with \”humility, integrity, honesty and accountability.\” The pastor specifically emphasized that churches must serve as the nation’s \”moral compass\” in this transformative process.\n\nThe service, broadcast live through Government Information Service platforms, was attended by Governor General Dame Cecile La Grenade, government ministers, opposition parliament members, and senior civil servants. Notably absent was Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, who had traveled to Dubai for an international conference. Acting Prime Minister Lennox Andrews subsequently delivered the scheduled scripture reading in Mitchell’s absence.\n\nThroughout his address, Pastor Isaac repeatedly invoked the phrase \”ever conscious of God,\\” urging congregants to maintain this perspective while pursuing national development and the \”transformation of the Spice Isle.\”
