LEIGHTON, R.A.
Five Views in Baptist Chapels in Jamaica.
Very little is known about this scarce book. Whenever Jamaican Baptists talk about their early beginnings two significant points in history come to mind: 1783 and 1849. It was in 1783 that the first Baptist missionary arrived, a freed black slave from the USA and an ordained minister. In 1849 the Jamaica Baptist Union was founded.
