Rodney Smith "Gypsy Preacher"


http://www.wholesomewords.org/biography/bsmith.html http://www.biblebelievers.com/gypsy_smith/ To all detractors, who are of the opinion that Romany Travelers are untrustworthy and/or dishonourable, here was one Gypsy man at least who was a minister of the Gospel. His name was Rodney Smith. He was born in a camp at Epping Forest. His family sold baskets, tinware, and clothespegs, for a living. His home was a wagon. So from a young age he was used to traveling. Which served him well, in his later life as an evangelist. So as you can see, Romany come from all walks of life. From fortune tellers, to christian preachers. Only it seems that mainstream society values the contributions of itinerate evangelists over other traveling people.
