Oct 4th, 2021 | Category: GLEANER PREMIUM | 18:06#JamaicaGleaner #JamaicaBaptistUnion #SpanishTown OCTOBER 4, 2021: After being away from pastoral duties for 20 years, former general secretary of the Jamaica Baptist Union, Reverend Karl Johnson has assumed the pastorate of the historic Phillippo Baptist Church in Spanish Town, the former Jamaican capital that is seized with mob crime and endemic violence. Referencing the ongoing high-profile trial of 33 alleged members of the Clansman Gang, which uses Spanish Town as its power base of murder and extortion, Johnson said there is a great need to reaffirm the ethic of life in one of the island’s most socially toxic towns.
