Abstract
[The following biography narrates the life and work of Edward Francis Small,
O.B.E. (1891-1958), a local preacher of the Methodist Mission in The Gambia.
Disturbed by the abject poverty and powerlessness of the vulnerable peoples at his mission station, Small felt compelled to preach, teach, and propagate a
message of Christian liberation founded upon Wesleyan democratic traditions. Small’s legitimate use of trade unionism, journalism, and politics provided invaluable tools for his evangelizing praxis.]
