Description
In this paper, I conduct a critical exposition of a pamphlet published in 1802 on the subject of the Two sermons preached by the late Reverend Mr. Charles Peters A.M who was the Rector of St. Georges and Roseau in Dominica, on the 11th and 13th of April, 1800. The sermons were based on an exegesis of Colossians 4:1: Additionally, I critique the attached appendix which includes his minutes that he wrote of three trials “at the grand sessions holden at Roseau, in the Island of Dominica, on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th of February, in the Spring of 1779.” These extraordinary sermons were preached over two centuries ago by this Anglican preacher, who had joined the abolition movement, and used the platform of his office to rail against the injustice that enslaved Africans and their descendants in Dominica were subject to. His efforts were greeted with disdain from the local plantocracy.
