``I love music, particularly in the jazz form as well as the creator and innovators. Music for me is a part of life, it is recreational as well as spiritual. I consider it a great challenge as well as a privilege to be a part of this great church body at Saint John's and I look forward to our future with optimism and enthusiasm." |
