Portia and Prejudice
published: Thursday | October 2, 2008

In June, I completed my Ph.D. studies on the Native Baptists and I cannot help but perceive parallels between the treatment meted out to the Native Baptists by English Baptist missionaries and that to the Most Honourable Portia Simpson Miller by Dr Peter Philips and his team. The English Baptist missionaries claimed that Baptists of African origin were not competent to lead congregations because they did not have a classical education. The main charge against Portia is that she is lacking in leadership skills.
