Podcast Overview

Established in Sierra Leone in 1792 by ex-Loyalists who journeyed from the American South to Nova Scotia then Freetown on 16 ships, joined later by Maroons from Jamaica, Liberated Africans, Africans from the West Indies, and the seventeen nations including Mende, Sherbro, Temne and Bullom peoples of the region to form the Central Circuit, Zion Methodist Church today remains a fixture of living history in the heart of Freetown. Seven generations of family and 230 years of fellowship later we look back at the story of Zion and set course for the next port in a remarkable 'One Journey'.
