The History of Spiritual Baptist Day?

The Spiritual Baptist faith is a unique Afro-Caribbean religion that blends Protestant Christianity (especially Baptist traditions) and West African spiritual practices.

On November 16, 1917, the British colonial government in Trinidad passed the Shouter Prohibition Ordinance. This law banned Spiritual Baptist worship, labeling it noisy and disorderly. Activists, including Tubal Uriah Butler and Elton Griffith, fought for decades to end the ban. The UGTT (union movement) and other leaders played key roles in lobbying for repeal.

on March 30, 1951, the Shouter Prohibition Ordinance was officially repealed. Spiritual Baptists were finally free to worship openly without fear of prosecution.

In 1996, the government of Trinidad and Tobago officially recognized March 30 as Spiritual Baptist Liberation Day. Trinidad and Tobago remains the only country in the world to have a public holiday honoring this faith.
