• W271884977 abstract "St. Patrick's parish is located at the southwestern end of Tobago, where once there were sugar plantations in the undulating coastal plain. An incumbent in the 1930s, in his journals written for the S.P.G., lamented the fact that tall sugar canes no longer waved in the gentle breezes. If the physical landscape of the parish has changed, so has the spiritual landscape. Increasing religious competition, a pattern of short-term incumbencies, and the emigration of large numbers of educated and highly skilled workers, have all taken their toll on St. Patrick's Church. Tobago is one of two islands forming the twin-island state of Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies. It is small, being approximately 118 square miles in area and having a population of just about 60,000 persons. In it can be found the influences of Dutch and French as well as of English colonizers. For most of its history, Tobago has depended on agriculture, while commercial activity has been concentrated in Trinidad. Tobago has had to import most of what it has used, not directly, but through the sister island. This pattern has automatically increased the cost of goods sold in Tobago. Although some things have changed over the years, an economic dependence on Trinidad continues. This shapes the economic circumstances of the people of St. Patrick's parish. They have been and continue to be largely wage earners in lower-level employment. St. Patrick's Church stands alone on a hill looking out to the sea on two sides of the peninsula on which it stands, yet some distance away from the nearest residents. It was built in the 1840s for a congregation which was then small. The geographical parish originally extended through the length of the peninsula, and at a time when life was much more leisurely, parishioners not unusually walked to church on Sundays. In the early 1900s, because of the growth of the congregation, the parish was divided, and another place of worship, called St. Francis of Assisi, was erected some two miles away. St. Patrick's stands like a parish church in an English village, reflecting the influence of those who built it. Every year in August, the parishioners participate in what is called an Ancestral Walk, commemorating the transportation on the heads of their ancestors of the bricks used in the building of the church. One of these ancestors is buried near the west door of the church. The building is rectangular in shape, in dark weathered red brick. At the west end is a small bell tower, and the windows have a hint of gothic in their arches. Inside there is a raised altar on the eastern end and a small gallery on the west end of the building. The congregation has a clear view of all the activity in the sanctuary, and the priest has an unimpeded view of his congregation. Since the church is small in size, there is no need for sound amplification for one with a good voice. Indeed, the building's isolation from traffic means that there is usually no disturbance of worship, except when there is construction or other unusual activity. The sanctuary takes up about one quarter of the total space, the rest being divided between the choir and the congregation. To the right of the sanctuary, as one enters, stand the sedilia, and to the left of the sanctuary is the credence table. The altar, originally placed against the wall for the priest to face towards the east, is now drawn out, so that the priest can stand in basilical position facing towards the west. Two large windows frame the altar, one on each side; but these are now covered by a tapestry to shield the worshipers from the glare of the morning sun. There is very little ornamentation, reflecting the rather Spartan tradition of the Anglican church in Tobago as a whole. Early on Sunday, 8 January 2006, a visitor enters St. Patrick's Church for a service of Holy Eucharist. A congregation is gathering which will number about seventy-three; the visitor counts thirty-seven females and thirty-six males. …" @default.
