Rev. Dr. Michael P. L. Friday
Executive Minister
The Rev. Dr. Michael Friday is the fifth child of his parents, who raised him in a Baptist home and church, and in a multicultural and multiethnic village in southeast Trinidad, in the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. He attended an elementary school, two doors down from his home, whose headmaster and staff were Muslims, with classmates from Christian, Muslim, Hindu bacgrounds, and some of no religious backgrounds. In those early days Michael learned a generosity of tolerance and welcome of others. Later, when he would attend the United Theological College of the West Indies – a multi-denominational seminary – these values would be strengthened.
