Celebrating 200 years of Baptist partnership between Jamaica and Great Britain.

Live from Cannon Street Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham, celebrating 200 years of partnership that established some of the earliest multiracial Baptist churches in the world.

Two hundred years ago Baptist missionary John Rowe sailed from England for Jamaica. This service, live from Cannon Street Memorial Baptist Church in Birmingham, tells the story of an extraordinary 200 years of partnership at the start of which white Baptists migrated from the UK to join enslaved Black Christians to establish some of the earliest multiracial Baptist churches in the world. In 1814, John Rowe was the first to answer that call. In later years the partnership reversed as black Baptists travelled to the UK to found what are now some of Britain's biggest churches. Leader: Pastor Patrick Adetuwo. With the Revd Lynn Green, General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Preacher: The Revd Karl Johnson, General Secretary of the Jamaica Baptist Union. Producer: Rowan Morton-Gledhill.
