Prime Minister Stuart Young has urged the nation to take a deeper look at the long journey of the Spiritual Baptist community, reflecting on the hardships endured by its early devotees and the lasting generational effects of such trauma, as revealed by psychological research.
“This must not be swept under any proverbial carpet and must not be underestimated,” Young said in his message for Spiritual Baptist Day.
Young said in order to begin such awareness and healing, as a first step he will request the National Library (Nalis) to organise a series of monthly discussions across the country on the struggle and triumph of the Spiritual Baptist community and other significant junctures in the history of Trinidad and Tobago.
