 The Sons of God Apostolic Spiritual Baptist Church has lost another of its founding members months after the death of Archbishop Granville Williams.

Beloved church figure Esme Eurethia Bailey, more affectionately known as Mother Bailey, and sister of Williams, died last week Wednesday.

Mother Bailey, 87, has been with the church for 57 years and bore the title Queen Grand Abbess. In that role the grandmother attended to the spiritual needs of members.

The Baptist members sought her out in order to have their dreams explained or for her to give clarity on any troubles they were experiencing.

Mother Bailey had seven children and was grandmother to 14.

She will be buried on September 20 at 10 a.m. at the Cathedral Church of Jerusalem, Ealing Grove. (AC)
