About Rev. Father Baker
The Rev. Father James David Kwee Baker was one of the nation’s most outstanding clergymen and founder of St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Camp Johnson Road, Monrovia.
Fr. Baker, as he was affectionately called, was born to Grebo parents at Hoffman Station, Maryland County on June 17, 1893. He received his early education at St. Augustine’s Boarding School at Cuttington Collegiate Divinity School (the primary division of Cuttington College and Divinity School). Cuttington College was established in 1889 by the Protestant Episcopal Church, during the episcopacy of the church’s great Education bishop, Rt. Rev. Samuel David Ferguson. This visionary bishop, as a young priest in 1881, also established the YMCA of Liberia in Cape Palmas, Africa’s first YMCA.
Father Baker later entered the College of West Africa (CWA), where he graduated summa cum laude in 1916.
