Greetings Friends: As we Ethiopian descendants continue to struggle for Emancipation in the 21st century and beyond, it is a blessing to be a part of such a noble endeavor! The Rastafarian World-Wide Community is in desperate need of a place to call their own. For too long Rastafarians have been trodden through Babylon. It is full time that Rastafarians build a foundation upon which to place all sacrifice and efforts of those who began the journey before us. The above message is simple, yet profound. The Church Of Haile Selassie I was formed in the year 1987 by Brother Ammanuel Foxe. A Rastafarian activist and also the international President of the Imperial Ethiopian World Federation (I.E.W.F.) Inc. The theological base of the Church of Haile Selassie I is founded upon the Temple worship through Liturgical Chants and rituals dated back to the days of Moses in the wilderness. This is known as Rastalogy, “Black Theology”, based upon the Divinity of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of Yahweh Elohim Sabboath, 225th rebirth of King Solomon of Jerusalem. The early emergence of Rastafarianism was unable to establish a documented way of worship, because the lack of academic education and material resources; which do not give the grassroots people the opportunity. The opening of England for cheap labor, gave members of the Rastafarian Community the opportunity to migrate, where these brethren exploited the educational facilities in Europe for the interest of the socio-political and religious development of the Rastafarian Community in Jamaica; so that today, sixty years after the emergence of Rastafarians in Jamaica, the community has finally established a documented way of worship. This establishment came at a time when young Rastafarians and their families needed a documented way of worship which would legitimize their faith and religious practices, giving their offspring and aged, security and a religious status, both in the workplace, in the community, and at school. The continuity of the religious faith of the Rastafarians could not survive the 21st Century without a centralized way of worship, the Crowning Glory of the Faith of Rastafarians. Haile Selassie I worshipped as God amongst man on Earth, incense burned in his name; and people blessed and baptized in the Name of Haile Selassie I, could only be fulfilled with the coming of the Church of Haile Selassie I Temple Worship. The establishment of the Church of Haile Selassie I and temple worship will ensure that in the year 2001 and beyond, the Name Haile Selassie I will be praised and proclaimed in a manner compatible to that of Jesus The Christ, Lord Buddha, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. We connect people from all walks of life to a tradition and a lineage that has served humanity for more than 5,000 years. The church of Haile Selassie I is committed to providing sincere believers with inclusive, practical and spiritual teachings that will ensure growth and development in order to address whatever situations they will encounter. The commitment of the Church of Haile Selassie I, to you is: > To enrich spiritual growth; > To provide sacred and inspiring worship; > To support you when you need counseling or assistance; > To provide a spiritual foundation/education; > To provide you with opportunities to serve; > To provide fellowship and social activities.

Your dollars will help us to build Rastafarian Churches, Temples and Institutions, wherein the Name of our god and King, Emperor Haile Selassie I will be praised and all believer’s cares and concerns for a better life will be addressed. (II Samuel 7:1 1-14: “I will build a house for you, I will raise up thy seed after you and establish the Throne of His Kingdom forever, I will be His Father, and he shall be my son.”) Blessed be the Name of Emperor Haile Selassie I, forever and ever, Amen. |
