The Birth and Growth of Four Jamaican Protestant Churches
CHAPTER THREE THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF FOUR JAMAICAN PROTESTANT CHURCHES 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter focuses on the birth and growth of the four Protestant churches that participated in the development of theological education in Jamaica. These are the Church of England (1655-1966); the Baptists (1783-1966); the Methodists (1789-1966); and the Presbyterians (1823-1966). The history of these four churches is similar to the development of colonialism in Jamaica. For instance, in contrast to the missiological, theological and educational model of the church as the prime agent of social transformation, individual freedom and global reconciliation, the Church of England (Anglican) started as a kind of chaplaincy to the plantocracy, and became, before its disestablishment, inextricably connected to the State; while the Baptists, the Methodists and the Presbyterians that were regarded as allies of convenience of the enslaved community, were engaged in a functionally strategic tactic of neutrality.1 Consequently, the mission of the Church as an intermediary between the enslaved population and the plantocracy vacillated between addressing the oppression and suffering of the Afro-Jamaicans, and redressing the ethnocentric and materialistic policies and practices of the Euro-Jamaicans. The European-led churches reflected a position of ambiguity and compromise with the actual trinity of slavery, plantation and colonialism. By the third decade of the nineteenth century, some missionaries became uncomfortable with their theologically conservative orthodoxy, their stereotyped cultural bias, and their socio-politically conformist stance. Consequently, they embraced the risks and vulnerability, which were essential elements of the relevant and authentic mission of the Church within the Jamaican context. -

ANGLICAN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION (1858-1966) Although
CHAPTER SEVEN ANGLICAN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION (1858-1966) 7.1 INTRODUCTION Although the Church of England arrived in Jamaica in 1655, its earliest attempt to provide theological education for candidates who desired to serve in its ministry was made in 1858, with the establishment of Bishop's College in Kingston. Between 1655 and 1858, graduates of Oxford and Cambridge Universities who had obtained their Bachelor of Arts degrees were usually, after their theological studies, accepted by their Bishops for ordination, and some of them sent to Jamaica as missionaries. The emancipation of the slaves in 1838 resulted in an increasing number of Afro- Jamaicans seeking the pastoral care and spiritual guidance of the Anglican Church in Jamaica. Between 1838 and 1858, some Rectors reported that the attendance of ex-slaves at corporate worship had rapidly improved and that churches had been crowded with them. At the same time, additional grants were provided by the Society for the Propagation of the Christian Religion, the Vestries and the Imperial Government for the building of chapels and schools. With the disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Jamaica (1870) its income from the State was reduced. At the same time, many members of the church and elites of the society were unwilling to contribute financially to a theological institution of purely local derivation. These factors combined with the inadequate supply of students led to the closure of Bishop's College in 1870. In 1871, a special committee was appointed to consider the establishment of another training college for the clergy of the Church of England in Jamaica. -

He was appointed a Research Fellow at Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University in 1988; and he received the Doctor of Ministry Degree from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge in 2004. Action-packed Ministry Oversight for construction of the Church of the Resurrection in Duhaney Park was his major achievement as Assistant Curate at The Church of St. Mary the Virgin. The project assigned by the Rector, the Rev. Canon Ernle Gordon, made Robert Thompson the first Curate in the Diocese to undertake a task of this magnitude. Conceived as a community centre and basic school, the structure showcases the work of two outstanding Jamaican artists, Carl Parboosingh and Bishop Thompson & Charmaine, Christopher Gonzales, both of whom offered his wife of 41 years their service free of cost. In 1980 he was appointed Rector of St. Jude’s, Stony Hill. Describing his 10 years at that Church as “my hardest bit of work,” Bishop Thompson recalls spearheading its Centenary Robert McLean Thompson Celebrations in 1987. This included monthly activities which featured presentations by specially invited guests from overseas.

Enos Nuttall Centenary Lecture
ENOS NUTTALL PUBLIC LECTURE DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR PATRICK BRYAN PROFESSOR EMERITUS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES AT THE MICO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE ON TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2016 _________________________________________________________________ Archbishop Enos Nuttall and the Outreach of the Anglican Church in Jamaica, 1862-1916. In this lecture I will focus on Archbishop Enos Nuttall’s transformational leadership of the Church of England in Jamaica, together with his vision and ideas about the furtherance of his Jamaican and international Christian mission. I will examine how, under Nuttall’s leadership the Anglican Church not only over-rode the financial crisis created by disestablishment in 1870 but entered a period of expansion of churches, missions and schools. Nuttall’s work also needs to be understood against the background of Empire, race, culture and class in late nineteenth century Jamaica, since missionary work had to confront racial and class attitudes which were at the forefront of the consciousness of most Jamaican citizens (white, brown and black) who prided themselves on their membership of the British Empire. 1 Enos Nuttall (born January 26, 1842) arrived in Jamaica in 1862 from England as a Methodist lay missionary, but with residual links to the Anglican Church. In 1866, one year after the Morant Bay Rebellion and the year of Jamaica’s adoption of Crown Colony Government, Nuttall was ordained a priest of the Anglican Church, Island Curate and appointed to St. George’s in Kingston. Nuttall’s explanation of his break with the Wesleyans exemplifies his strong belief in cooperation between Christian churches: no doubt bearing in mind that John Wesley, an Anglican priest, never left the Anglican Church. -

I aim to understand how Catholicism progressed from a white French imperial religion to one almost exclusively identified with Black Grenadians. To do so, I focus on the social status of Grenada’s Catholics of all races and classes as they struggled against the manifestations of imperial Britain in colonial society: political institutions, religious institutions, and most significantly the institution of slavery. -
