Payne, Lutheran Church, Liberia Bishop David M. Fyneah,Methodist Church, Liberia Bishop Francis Thomas, Free Protestant Episcopal Church, London Bishop Wilbur Kunkel,Pillar of Fire, Oakland, USA, Missonary Bishop to Liberia Rev. Dr. Hoff , Rector of the University of Liberia, West-Africa After my consecration as Diocesan Bishop, I began to work exclusively for the interest of the church in Liberia. October 1972 I had to leave Liberia as "Persona non grata". Tolbert could not escape from the rivalry among Liberias leading families. The Tolbert-family being one of the largest in the country, he soon appointed relatives in important public positions. I could not agree to it. In the mid-1970s several Cabinet members belonged to the Tolbert-clan among whom the Minister of Finance, his brother. Another brother was President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, the Major of Monrovia was a cousin etc. William R. Tolbert, Jr., an ordained Baptist pastor and former President of the Baptist World Alliance, was President Tubmans modest (invisible) Vice-President for nearly 20 years. He succeeded President Tubman (1944-1971) on July 23, 1971 after he had died in a London clinic. This was the end to a good time with president W.V.S.Tubman.
