RASTAFARI CREED

“Prince and Princess shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopians shall stretch forth our hands and heart unto JAH. O JAH of Ethiopia His own Divine Majesty, thy Spirit come to all dwelling paths ofrighteousness. Lead us. Help us to forgive that we must be forgiven. Teach us love, loyalty on earth as it is in Zion. Endure us with thy Wisdom, Knowledge and Iverstanding to do thy will. Thy blessing to us: the humble be fed, the naked clothed, sick nourished, aged protected, and infants cared for. Deliver us from the hands of our enemies that we shall be fruitful in these last days; when ourenemies have passed and decayed in the depths of the seas, in the depths of the earth, in the bowels of the beast. O give us all a place in thy Kingdom forever. So hail our Emperor Haile Sellassie I,Jah Rastafari! The Almighty  Jah Rastafari! Great and terrible Jah Rastafari is our Almighty!!!

As we move forward into 2016, the major events and issues that traditionally confront the Rastafari Community have been amplified to invoke the pledge of THE RASTAFARI CREED of Collective Benefit for Repatriation with Reparation.  

The Rastafari Unconquerable Exhibit (IOJ) and the 40th Anniversary Ilibration of the Blackheart Man Album by the Hon. Bunny Wailer headlines this CULTURAL MAPPING of the Rastafari Faith and Creed in what have been designated Reggae Month and the UNESCO City Designation of Kingston.  

The Nyahbinghi Ancient Council/Royal Judah Coptic Church/Rastafari Millennium Council (RMC) will therefore be documenting this CULTURAL MAPPING by staging a Nyahbinghi Symposium in TRENCH TOWN on SUNDAY, February 14^th  2016 at the Multi - Purpose Center, 10 -18 FIFTH Street between 10:00 am - !0:00 pm! [See Flyer Attached!]

The Nyahbinghi Ancient Council/Royal Judah Coptic Church/RMC are using this Reggae Month platform to identify the critical intersection and interception of Rastafari Intellectual Property within the Jamaican music and developing Ganja industry in Trench Town. Trench Town is culturally linked to Back A Wall/Ackee Walk/Davis Lane-Trench Town/Wareika Hill/Welcome Avenue as the collective of Rastafari Heritage Sites that exist within Kingston for recognition following the JNHT declaration of PINNACLE in St. Catherine, and its recent UNESCO Music City designation that must be identified, represented, and beneficially preserved as the foundation for all that was presented for this august titling.

Similarly the recent Coral Gardens Report from the Public Defender with its wide sweeping recommendations related to Rastafari Right to Reparation only pertains to the roughly 200 persons that are specifically named in that 'atrocity' and references only Montego Bay.  The other 'atrocities' therefore require the type of testimonial representations to widen the gap between Pinnacle and Coral Gardens, which is majorly the footprint of West Kingston.

The Youth Black Faith in Trench Town and the Issembly Of Elders at Welcome Avenue that transformed into the Royal Judah Coptic Church, are the center of reference for the Nyahbinghi Orderand the Nyahbinghi Ancient Council as also the EABIC (Bobo Shanti) in Bobo Hill from the days of Back A Wall, and so collectively contains some of the most poignant testimonials that make immediate need for current archiving in the contested spaces that exist internal and external for the Rastafari Community.

Come witness the recount of Rastafari Faith that created and shaped Culture and Music in Trench Town, Kingston, Jamaica, the World with liberating force!

One Perfect Love!

From the Executive Directors of the RMC.
