Evans Roots and Blossoms Theological Education in a Multi-Ethnic by Edmund Davis | Some reasons for the lack of information about Black Anglican clergymen in Jamaica in the 19th century: * the names of all the Church of England clergy are of European origin, providing no indication of the ethnicity of those who bore them; * official policies in the late 19th century discouraged the use of terminology relating to colour, since there were supposed to be no distinctions based on colour; therefore the colour of an individual clergyman is rarely mentioned; * until the early years of the 20th century there are very few photographs of clergy, in the newspapers or in books;  The Cathedral, Spanish Town |
