I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG AND TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE PEOPLE UNITED IN LOVE AND SERVICE.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of The Bahamas owes its inception to Philip Arthur Rahming. At the time of composition, in February 1970, he was a student at Southern Baptist Theologist Seminary, Louisvill, Kentucky. This pledge came out of the thought, tone and beat of his entry, "God Bless Our Sunny Clime" - which was judged first runner-up to the National Anthem, "March On Bahamaland".

A graduate of Calabar Theological College, Kingston, Jamaica, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky and United Theological Seminary, Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Rahming began his schooling at Sandilands Public School in Fox Hill, his hometown. As a boy, Philip always had a love for service and a determination to become outstanding in something. Nurtured in a Baptist Sunday School where his grandfather was the Superintendent, young Rahming learnt that God gave special gifts to individuals and that each person has a particular contribution to make in life. As an adult the Reverend Dr. Rahming became President of The Bahamas Christian Council and he served for six years. Later he became a member of the Ethics Commission of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). A former Secondary School Teacher, retired College of The Bahamas Lecturer and past Chaplain to the Hon. Speaker of The Bahamas Parliament. He was a Commission member on Baptist Doctrine and Inter-Church Co-operation of the BWA and Pastor of Rehoboth Ministries. Reverend Rahming is a Justice-of-the-Peace.
