Members of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) Council paid a visit to Commander Defence Force, Commodore Raymond E. King and his Executive team, at Defence Headquarters on April 2, 2025.
The ACW is a ministry within the Anglican faith, dedicated to spreading the gospel, serving the church, and empowering women. Established in November 1963, the council was formally organized in 1964. Current council members include President Melinda McKenzie, Vice President Elsie Strachan, Member Deborah McKinney, and Immediate Past President Charlene Rodgers.
During the visit, the ACW Council discussed its upcoming Unite in White Walk, an initiative raising awareness of challenges faced by young women. The walk is scheduled for April 26, 2025, at 6:00 a.m., starting from Goodman’s Bay. To commemorate the visit, Commodore King presented guests with gifts.
The RBDF maintains a strong relationship with the ACW, most recently supporting the 51st Annual Conference Sessions. This ongoing partnership highlights the RBDF’s commitment to community engagement and continued support of the Anglican Church.
Commander Defence Force, Commodore Raymond E. King’s intent is that the Royal Bahamas Defence Force exemplifies its commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen through a range of extensive outreach initiatives and projects. These endeavors aim to strengthen community relations, positively impact individuals, and contribute to the development of thriving communities.
