COP's message on Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day

On this happy and historic occasion of Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day 2011, the Congress of the People extends sincerest greetings, as you commemorate today the fruits of your long arduous struggles for respect and equality. 

"Freedom of religion and freedom of worship" as enshrined in our Nation’s Constitution is most definitely alive.

Spiritual Shouter Baptists presence has propelled T&T to become a multi-religious, multi-racial society. 

Historians would have to rewrite your glorious history, especially for the benefit of the young who may be unaware of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of those who have gone before. 

There are literally hundreds of Shouter Baptists churches scattered across the nation. Your work in charity, community empowerment and national development are well-noted. You have indeed caused your flags to fly conspicuously high.

As we approach 50 years of Independence, you are well aware that our nation and indeed the rest of the world are facing challenging times; economically, morally and spiritually. 

Therefore, as we celebrate with you the great victories of the past, we also call upon you to join with the rest of the society in today’s battle; the battle for the soul of our nation.

Moving ahead we must pay attention to the needs of the Shouter Baptists as they have become integral members in our nation citizenry. There is a need to honor their leaders with national awards. We must deliver their promised school and National Cathedral, if we are to look forward to the Spiritual Baptist community playing their part in shaping a better nation, the nation we all love.

Happy and Holy Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day 2011. May God bless our Nation.

Joseph Toney | Chairman, Congress of the People
