The I know that Elder Planno was EOC Member too and recieved an EOC funeral like Bob did? So what does that tell us?
Nyahbinghi is Gvmnt, Planno never switch from that. I n I all is Ithiopian Christians from ever since, the fact is, that is what makes Rasta. You shouldn't be surprised about that.
It's just how we use the definition. During His Majesty's Gvmnt I n I Nyahbinghi were eager to get part in the EOC, not only in JA but also around the world. In fact the Whole Movement in England/London was built on the EOC and EWF. There were many deacons who were Rasta. Cah true Ithiopian Christian is Rasta. The Abuna in those days said I n I can interprete the Bible as I n I do.
His Majesty was head of the church in those days.
But then they turned their backs on the King. It was on 11 Sept. 1974 over Radio that the Abuna betryaed the King. Since that they also turn against I n I. From that on they fight I n I in the Church for we locks and the way I n I live as Nazarenes.
But during His Majesty's time he ordered the EOC to fight for I n I rights as Nazarenes concerning Locks and Livity in schools, prisons, workplaces etc. They did so in London, I know of that first hand.
So I believe there is a misoverstanding in this thread. You can't compare EOC of HIM with EOC now. Many Nyahbinghi Elders were closely connected with the EOC in those days. Coz it was Planno go to the Gvmnt in those days and say RASTA want EOC in JA.
