CANE GARDEN BAY, Tortola, VI – Online commentators have been giving their take on allegations that there was a recent call for a collection at the Cane Garden Bay Baptist Church to aid the funding of the political campaign of Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull.

Calls to the National Democratic Party (NDP) candidate in the Second District all went unanswered yesterday. However, when Turnbull returned a text message asking how he could help us, he did not respond after the issue was put to him, whether there was a call for a collection for his campaign and whether he wanted to respond to the social media reactions.

Yesterday afternoon June 2, 2015 our reported texted Turnbull after trying to reach him by phone without success. After he responded saying ‘What’s up?” the reporter said, “Great. I heard reports that your dad (Rev Dr Melvin A. Turnbull) asked for a collection in church to help your campaign efforts. Is that accurate? Saw some social media comments to that effect.”

This was at 3:29 PM. By 4:15PM he still had not responded.

Efforts also to reach Rev Melvin A. Turnbull of the Cane Garden Bay Baptist Church proved futile.

While some of the online comments were against the idea of the church raising funds for someone’s political campaign, some saw it as no big deal, saying that everyone begs for money and if persons thought that Turnbull was a good candidate then that issue should not prevent them from voting for him.

“That is not politics. That is sowing a seed…beginning a new chapter in his life…people in the church donate monies to all sorts of endeavours all the time…schooling, starting a business, medical care, debt relief…” said one comment.

Another said, “While you have a point, don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Don’t be a blind person and only see that as the issue and not vote for the young man. If you think he is a great candidate and will do a great job then give him your vote. Simple as that. Or else find another excuse for not voting for him but not that stupidness about collection plate. Like who the hell else doesn’t beg for money around here.” 

However, some were clearly against the idea of the church getting involved in funding a campaign. “As a regular attendee of his family’s church I was disgusted when one day they announced a picking up of an offering to help finance his campaign…politics has no place in the house of the Lord and I lost all respect for his candidacy right there. That is not what the donation of the good people of your church should go towards. Give the money back and I might consider giving you a vote,” the comment said.

“Spot on…I fully agree,” said another. “If this happened then it simply shouldn’t have. I would have expected much better from the Cane Garden Bay Baptist Church. Churches should have nothing to do with financing political parties.”

‘No comment’ – Bishop John I. Cline

Bishop of the New Life Baptist Church John I. Cline when contacted for a comment said that he preferred not to as he did now know the details of the alleged call for a collection to finance ‘Mitch’ Turnbull’s campaign.

“I don’t know about the incident so I cannot verify whether it is so or not so. I cannot comment on something that I don’t know. The truth of the matter is I really don’t want to comment on the matter because there is much back and forth and people need to make a decision on the real issues and not these kinds of things,” said Bishop Cline.

Church should stay neutral

Contacted for a comment, President the People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) Natalio D. Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru said that while such activity may not be against electoral and campaign financing rules, persons might frown on it as being unethical.

“Let’s say for instance you have people in the church who want to vote for the other candidate…so perhaps the church should stay neutral in a situation like that,” he said. He added that while politics is divisive, the church should be careful that it acts always as a unifying force and hence should stay neutral.

In addition to Turnbull’s candidacy in the Second District, the PEP is fielding Elford W. Parsons while the Virgin Islands Party is fielding Rajah A. Smith.

    an organization is the perfect place to influence votes. that is why in US there is constitutionally a separation of church and state. churches sway people. it is bad enough that preachers have a big play in politics, parties, and self-serving. Their churches also avoid standard taxes. This idea of using a safe haven to promote politics is disheartening and discouraging. It is called institutional corruption. Not that the players are corrupt. They are not (so far), but the system needs to be better monitored and kept objective so as not to intimidate parishioners and have fair elections.

      The role of the church is not to attempt to collect money to finance a political campaign. Whilst it should go to the maintenance of the church and utilities as well as a stipend for the pastor, if any additional funding is available. It should go towards community outreach programs, help feed persons in need, help to spread the good word of the gospel.

      This allegedly happening is nothing short of despicable, and sickening. What lengths will these persons go to gain political power?

      This does not reflect good on you mitch and your candidacy.

    Thre is something wrong when... and I hate to say so, our Spritually Leaders in the name of fear, promise of doubling what we gave in return or other stimuli to feed their personal gratifications asked the congragation for monetary gifts. Each member of the Church should be free to choose and openly express his/her support for whosoever candidate or whatsoever Party without fear. But as a Church one has to be wise and to avoid "contention" and "wars among us" , one has to wise. The bible tells us that we should "pray for Governments and those who are in authority over us"...I admit, it is a hard thing to do at times but thats our teachings. If again according to the bible "that promotion comes from God who is able to take one down and elevate another then we must trust him that "all things worketh together fro good" if even the party or individual we supported loss. Openly raising a collection in any church for a particular Political Party/individual person is not the best way to go. There are persons in our communities who are genuinely needy/poor and the church should use these occasions to help them. After all that is why we exit.

    I would like for someone to tell me what the problem is if Mitch's church decided to ask for an offering for him. Please tell me.....A sensible answer. It was not mandatory. They didn't insist that anyone give. If you didn't want to give, you didn't, end of story. You thought the money was for the Lord's work??? They didn't take the church collection money and give it to Mitch. They asked for a special one for Mitch, so how could anyone think they taking the "Lord's money"... Finally, the church should not be involved because?? Separation of Church and State? There is nothing in the Virgin Islands Constitution (that I am aware of) that says the church should not be involved in politics in any form. This is not America. The church is the people, the people are the community. Mitch is a part of the 2nd district community. I really don't see a problem here. This is just more proof that you all are THREATENED BY MITCH. THREATENED !! But don't worry, the SWITCH is still on...... lol.

      It is a question of integrity and moral discernment.

      Mitch's candidacy started out on the basis that he has something fresh to offer. That was something to look forward to. However, the more one hears about his campaign, the more one feels that he is not the best candidate in the race.

    This is the word that came to me when I heard this story...

    …28"For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? 29"Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, 30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'… Luke 14: 28-30

    So then... the first stage in building would be to ensure that the builder is God. If God is the builder of your development plans you will not need to ask for assistance. God would provide every step of the way. Many of us do things believing that God is in it but instead we are the sole builder of our life.

      Something is wrong with the ruling party's fund-raising philosophy. While some of their candidates seem to have no problem dropping huge sums of money on their glitzy district launches, political jingles and huge imposing billboards, others are resorting to social media soliciting funds and in this case, if it is true, the church collection plate. Why is there such a disparity among members of this 'family'? This is certainly not a good perception of 'togetherness' - hellooooo - can anyone in their 'action' camp clarify for me for I am certainly puzzled. Laws that govern campaign ethics including sources of funding is a must if we are to ensure transparency in such processes and be taken seriously as a progressive country.

    Mitch grew up in the this church. He is a member of this church. He is a junior pastor in this church. There are many members of this church who is on his campaign team. There are many, many supporters in this church.
    There is nothing wrong in asking for a special offering and a special prayer for him. There is nothing wrong in influencing members to vote for him. This is what all candidates and their supporters do. This is not USA where there is a constitutional law against this principle. I know of other Caribbean Islands where the church sponsors leaders of the church to run seeking to influence the government in a godly way. Not one of these church ministers ever win because people will vote for who they want. This a solid candidate so lets get behind him and stop jumping on the bandwagon of church and state.

      A cult is a group of people who organize around a strong authority figure. Cults, like many other groups, attempt to expand their influence for the purposes of power or money. (A successful induction by a destructive cult displaces a person's former identity and replaces it with a new one. That new identity may not be one that the person would have freely chosen under her own volition (Hassan, 1990).

    Well what I will like to know is what accounts for integrity? When the collection of funds for this candidate started? How often this collection was done? what was the total amount garnered from the congregation to support his candidacy? Will the candidate return all the funds or donate the amount to some non profit organization? As it stands on integrity the majority view this fundraising as meddling in the political machinery as a red line that should not be crossed. This matter begs a candid response from the candidate.

    My take on this is that the Pastor is in an influential position and for him to ask his congregation to make an offering for a political candidate who happens to be son, I find it inappropriate and bordering on unethical behavior. Why? Well if one member decides not to contribute he/she could be considered an outcast. One must not impose their political convictions on another. Members may well find it difficult not to contribute and it is an uncomfortable position to be in. What makes him think that his entire congregation supports his son's candidacy?

    I really find this distasteful but in this political season, distasteful is the norm.

    Oil and water do not mix and religion and politics do not either. Though not illegal but immoral using the church for political reasons is poor form. It appears as if the Rev M. Turnbull may be using his position, stature and influence to coerce (or at leastfeel uncomfortable) members to contribute to his son's political campaign. Is this now the norm? Will donations now be asked for any other member running for political office or elected office. The church should be neutral. What if some members are not NDP supporters and refuse to contribute. Will they be penalized or ostracized? Church should be a place of comfort, a place of worship, and a place of fellowship. This issue has the potential to plant seeds of division among the congregation.

    What about the two VIP strongholds who have been going to the fat lady prophet from the Caribbean and asking her to fortune tell them what will be the outcome of the elections and to pray special blessings on them? You aint know bout that nuh? They been secretly seeing her since January, 2015. When a collection was asked to assist in funding the campaign for Mitch, no gun was placed to their heads. They didn't have to give. The money was not taken from the church. Can't you see the thin line here. The money came from individual's pockets. That to me is considered a personal gift for the cause presented, and all who here fussing about how that money was used if they want to disagree, then disagree with the asker and disagree with the givers, but do not come here cussing MITCH. He didn't ask for money from no one. Move on and stick to the issues.

      Clarification is needed because a prophet is not a fortune teller. These are two very different people. If she is a prophet then she is under God's authority to communicate His words and wisdom to who God wishes, it is not a sin to seek the advise of a prophet of God or have a prophet pray for you. (Fortune tellers practice divination and hears from falling angels 'demons'...not God) Secondly, personal gifts, donations, offers etc. for political campaigning should not be requested or distributed at church. If persons wished to contribute to Mitch's campaign they could have approached him after church hours.

    Let's wait and see how the church will account for the collection. At the end of the year the Church have to account for monies pass through it's organization. Financial services have rules so let's see if it's above a certain amt it has to be accounted for.

      Really? That would be interesting to know? I had no idea that there were such accountability measures in place in the BVI?
