“From the birth of our nation, in 1983, our national anthem tells us, With God in all our struggles, St. Kitts and Nevis be, a nation bound together with a common destiny. 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 calls us to be one body with many different parts. It reminds us that togetherness is oneness and that If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. So it is with our twin island federation of St. Kitts and Nevis…one country but two.”
