Sarah Ann Gill
National Hero Sarah Ann Gill played the vital role of establishing the Methodist church here in Barbados. She was persecute and prosecuted. What little history is known is documented and repeated by all the usual sources. I want to celebrate her life with this short acrostic poem. The first church I attended was the place of my dad’s Sunday School and now I learn a church established by Sarah Ann Gill. This National Hero was born on Feb 16, 1795 and died to Feb 25, 1866.

Sarah Ann Gill
Some people in their stringent defiance to secure A place in society for our rights and more Receive our accolades now but back then All was horrendous and often life threatening Heroic deeds are those that in the face of adversity
Are battled with devotion and persistency No matter what the local authorities did to Sarah Ann Gill Nothing prevented her from following God’s will
Getting persecuted, prosecuted, life threats and burnt in effigy In their attempts to make certain Methodism can never be. Lets acknowledge this heroine who braved the hostile past Liberated Methodism and pioneered that religious freedom be passed
