Jamaica Observer - 'Bounty Killer' and 'church' were two words that just didn't
sound as if they should be in the same sentence ... and so very close together.
Anyway, the story was that Miss Ivy -- Bounty's beloved mother and an upright
Christian lady -- had ordered her son Rodney, to be present at her church yesterday
morning. And, as the source pointed out, "If Miss Ivy say him fi come a church,
him haffi come."

Needless to say, Bounty, and his entourage, was present and on time at Miss
Ivy's place of worship, the Agape Christian Fellowship Church in Gregory Park,
St Catherine.

Dressed in his trademark 'full black' and looking none the worse for his 10-day
stint in police lock-up, from which he was released only on Friday, Bounty was
obviously there to give thanks that he had come through his recent ordeal unscathed.
No doubt, the prayers of Miss Ivy and the prayer warriors at her church played an
active role in Rodney's eventual release from jail and the church welcomed Killer as
if the Prodigal Son had returned.

Clearly, Bounty was not in church under duress, as the radiant smile on his face as he
fellowshipped on an overcast Sunday morning, was enough to light up the entire
community of Gregory Park in Portmore. Church leader, Pastor Maxwell -- father of
Spelling Bee Champion Jodie-Ann Maxwell -- had a special consecration for Miss Ivy
last son, who, like a good altar boy, was armed with his sword -- the Holy Bible.
Evangelist Yvette Blake also had prayerful words of advice for Rodney.
