DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The "Shakers" religion, now known in its most recent reincarnation as Spiritiual Baptists, was established in the 1800's in the Colony" of St. Vincent but was outlawed by the 1900's due to efforts of the Colonial authorities and religious sectors of the day. The herculean efforts of individuals within the society, politicians and the Shakers' leaders of the day guaranteed the removal of the Prohibition Ordinance from the Law books of SVG in 1965 giving back to them the freedom to worship God in their own way. This book details the life of the Patriarch Edmund John, the oldest Shaker/Baptist here in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
