Patriarch dies

Pastor emeritus Dr Holmes Williams, regarded as the father of evangelism in Barbados and a national honouree for his religious work, died yesterday surrounded by his family.

Williams, who would have been 76 on Saturday, became a household name with a reputation for spreading the gospel and empowering the church as the founder of People’s Cathedral on Bishop Court’s Hill, St Michael.

He had been a patient for the last three weeks at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where his son, Peter Williams, reported he was hospitalised for the last three weeks with chikungunya and dengue fever. (AC)
