The main speakers will be US-based international human rights lawyer, Susan Yoshihara, and a Jamaican residing in the UK, Kwabena Peat, who will present his story of how his rights of freedom of conscience and employment have been destroyed. Under the theme 'Celebrating God: The Giver of Rights', the concert will be an extension of an international conference: Human Rights, International Law and the Family, to be hosted by both the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society and the Lawyers' Christian Fellowship, at the Jamaica Conference Centre, on Saturday, December 8, beginning at 8 a.m. At the 'Concert in the Park' on International Human Rights Day, participants will be challenged to sign the Kingston Declaration, which is a formal statement outlining the Judeo-Christian bases for valid universal rights and ideals for marriage and the natural family, necessary for a healthy society. The Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society is a Christian non-profit organisation which was formed in January, 2012. In this short time, JCHS has earned its reputation as a watchdog for Christian principles on marriage, sex and the family, through a variety of activities and projects. |
