Mennonites and Seventh-day Adventists | Anabaptist World
It is good and necessary for nation to start the year reflecting and reviewing their faith, values, what it can do to improve them enabling the nation and its official to better arm itself to engage, battle and fight the challenges of the year they have to face, our past church generation, believers of the first, second republic the role they played in government and society. The year 2021, the very grave economic uncertainty brought about by the Covid Pandemic which have devastated most of the world great and powerful economy in 2020, the Human resources required to build such economy, the significant and deep implications for the economy of Small nations State and its people. . Needles to say during the 2020 pandemic the weekly many church and interfaith broadcast we have watched and listened, relevancy respective, views.
When we have the President of the Republic, Wavel Wankalawan emphasizing the relevancy, importance of our faith, belief on the one hand and those of his government advocating the enhance participation of the Masonic Institution, the need to question our national values.
Over the past 30 years given that Voluntary Repatriation program of the Seychelles exiles, refugees 1986/7 those and the many who participated, impute, contributed, helped putting it in place, implementation, the important impacts on the political process to change the One Party System with all its Institutions. In turn the process of, to reintroducing ancestral workings, values, belief, historic links which had been eradicated, buried, forgotten under various forms of punishments, laws and personal consequences. We found our self this first week of 2021 in view of the new LDS government, evaluating these thematic and the process, those who contributed and the why, today their heritage and legacy. We do not have to wait for the political parties, the National Assembly or the Truth commission to affirm this - play their due part as happen, norm across the world.
We found ourselves reading a Facebook publication by Kent Online of the Bruderhof Community in Kent, of particular interests to us then 1995 staying at Caple le fern, Caple Court Country club, the court case at Canterbury we had been successful with, the Judicial Review in process at the RCJ for damages amounting to £25 millions. Of particular interests in 1995 in Nonington, Kent, Beech Grove Bruderhof , the deployment of Window OS 95, their community near London in 2012 and the instance we noticed them on the train and bus or the underground. The Adventist Communities in Kent, Catholic, Church of England, Jewish communities. In the USA the issues of Waco, the Adventist Branch mount Zion Church, Country Life church and restaurant in London and across the Channel, the Temple Solair media coverage. Not to forget the Jones mass suicide of its followers. Those from the Church of Satan. We endeavouring at all cost to get across the Channel, the Centre we had so much wanted to start in Calais, then French officials in Paris, Calais and the EU respective DG. In Seychelles at the time, Mauritius, and Reunion events, church and society, government, politics.
Our mind started to ask question how were the communities of the Bruderhof coping with the Pandemic as we have other church communities. Why did they not have a community in France. We suddenly realized who they were, their origins, history and very important religious debacles. The very important Church reform movement , process and politic of Europe - Switzerland and the persecution they settling in Alsace and the politic and history. This is the interesting part we have written to the Truth Commission about its benchmark, reminding them that the Seychellois of French ancestral decent have had a long experience, history very well documented, archived notion of refugees, exile life and persecutions, terror, martyrdom, injustices in their blood and bones and lies propagated against them. The religious purging in 'France, blood wars and massacres, injustices the Huguenot that fled France to seek refuge in the Netherlands, north america, South America, Britain and later found themselves in Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles. In the case of the Anabaptist our first Child hood recollection of them, was their first Church across the Chetty house, the St Louis river and today the Bahai important church building, the ex McGaw residence which was rebuild and they rented it. They often visited our Adventist school to meet our Head teacher Mr Hermence Calais, in the Church the talk of the Anabaptist and their belief, values. At that the time of writing concepting that 1986/87 program, then Anabaptist they had rebranded themselves, in the Indian Ocean, Africa and Europe to becoming the Pentecostals. The Adventists their own adamant argument how unique, known as the Remnant, Later Day church - there are the many publications proving their origin from the Reform religious movement, persecutions, atrocities and martyrdom mass exodus, exiles movements of Europe and the Anabaptist similarities, many core religious aspects, functioning, link values and shared belief. The evolution of the Pentecostal church in Seychelles of note worthy and none of them respecting the important role that the 1987 SIROP program made on their institutions, christian functionality, family life, and the Church congregation today and their role in the nation workings.
At the time of writing that program we had known and been very aware of the important Huguenot South Africa long history, and during the Cold war, the White government and impacts on South Africa, Seychelles pre Independence colonial relation with South Africa and how in turn we had lobby and integrated these relevant bits, parts in that program - the role it played, relevancy to support its conception argument, development and implementation, on account of the fact that they had been French who had fled persecution, terror, death, the Colonial wars with Britain and made South Africa their home. Those who had migrated to Reunion, Mauritius and Seychelles, their harsh and terrible living conditions not better than their slaves at time, events, their decedents, families in the region and migration. Our historian cannot be bothered, they all toe the line of what the politicians, those who have come to control our nation and society, institutions tell them to say, it is more relevant for them the African Union politic agenda. Today the history of the indenture Indian workers and today, in our nation who they are, India regional and international politic and the same benchmark in Mauritius, Reunion and Rodrigues. The two predominant religion Catholic and Church of England not going out of their way to accommodate, what ensue, happening and taken the credit in great part. By refusing to accommodate or acknowledge these, they form part of the persecution, its is ongoing, continuity, those siding with those that judge, deem the nation ought not debate entertain such thematic. Better more perverse thematic be brought forward and be promoted, defend their Rights and relevancy. The Black and slave history, persecution is very important to our history, nation building, equally those of our founding French fathers in particular their European rich history Faith the price and lives they paid with for the religious process, institutions, knowledge of the modern Churches we have today. May be we ought to have included, made this part of the first paragraph the very grave concern for the NEOM thematic. The very many complex religious thematic, arguments of that Region and the Nations, what they want NEOM to achieve in term of Faith, belief, regional functioning future society and beyond as we start the years 2021. The Peace process, Treaty which have taken place on the back of this important thematic. We will be adding a few reference article and links.
