Liberian pastor Samuel B. Reeves urged leaders and citizens not to let past failures determine the country’s future during a sermon in Monrovia. His appeal comes as lawmakers consider proposals to establish a court for war crimes and economic crimes, reports FrontPage Africa.

Pastor Samuel Reeves called on Liberia’s leaders and citizens not to let past failures dictate the country’s future in a sermon delivered on Sunday 18 October in Monrovia, FrontPage Africa reports. “Liberia’s children cannot feed on yesterday’s political rhetoric,” he said.

Titled “Yesterday Ended Last Night”, the sermon was delivered at Providence Baptist Church, where Reeves is senior pastor. Founded in 1821 by freed African Americans, it is Liberia’s oldest church and hosted the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1847.
