Rev. Cllr. Dr. Pearl Brown Bull declares at Providence Baptist 200 Anniversary Liberian lawyer and minister of the Gospel, Rev. Cllr. Pearl Brown Bull, has declared that Liberia’s foundation is in trouble if its citizens remain standing on the “Faulty foundation” that has upheld the country for 173 years. In her sermon, delivered at the 200th anniversary of the Providence Baptist Church on Sunday, March 7, the vocal Liberian female lawyer and preacher identified “Wickedness and greed for money” as vices that have taken over the true essence and motto of the establishment of Liberia. Many Liberians claim that, because the country’s independence was signed in the Providence Baptist Church and those at the time were majority Christians, therefore “Liberia is built on Christian Principles,” an assumption that free thinkers and members of other religions have contested.
