  1. I think people tend to mixup dreadlocks and Rasta. He is not a Rasta neither does he have Rasta beliefs. He only sports a hairstyle which is locks.

    1. He is wearing Afrocentric style preference with pride. Some people prefer to be bald, some people prefer to be simple, he prefers to embrace his African roots, that’s how I see it.

  2. Love this. Love the humility that can be he displayed. Whether dreadlocks, bald head, black, white are in between we are all people of the living God and when he makes his appearance he won’t be frightened by our appearance so we have to list a Christ filled life. In the end of the interview Neville said he feels like saying brethen but he’s going to address him in his honor and say father; for me that’s commendable.πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š

  3. The Anglican church in Jamaica has a BIG shortage of priests. In fact, some Anglican churches do not have a permanent priest. So just having a young man as an Anglican minister is an accomplishment in itself. THAT is what SMILE Jamaica should be emphasizing! Whether he has natural dreads or if he is wearing hairdresser implanted dreads, etc., etc., the shallow title overshadows an important issue in Jamaica’s Anglican church.

  4. Awesome testimony πŸ™Œ πŸ‘ πŸ™πŸΌ Good luck in all your endeavors young Priest πŸ‘

  5. Excellent Black Representation! Big up yuhself Fada! We pray that your influence will impact more “church” people!

  6. Explain this scripture priest Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

  7. Come on female presenter ! You know the cruelty of racism / Colourism in Jamaica ! Stop it! Be genuine !!!

  8. Jesus / God and His followers were dreadlocked ! Spending long periods of time walking in / around Nazareth / no permanent homes / dwellings / nowhere to lay head/ETC!! Read the Gospels!! This is the foundation!! Welcome Priest! You represent the Gospel! Hope you are / will be influential ?!! God bless you !!

  9. When God saves us, it is not for us to change our personality but to be our selves and express jesus through that. Our life has changed but our personality has not. One has comedic personality then use it and express Jesus. Some of us as christians are too false. We must be authentic.. You go sir and continue to shine for jesus.

  10. “I was never a Rastarari” “My experience with Rastafari”
    Help me to put this context please!!!

  11. There are church worshippers who have dreadlocks, so a priest having it is no different πŸ™πŸ™πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡ΉπŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ή
