Black Saints and Martyrs (57,000 ) of the Early African Church Rediscovered

Christianity sprang from Africa not to it! For the Bible tells us so:

Out of Egypt I called my son.” Mathew 2:13-15 Hosea 11:1

Still, few remember that Jesus grew up in Africa until 6 or 7 years of age. There, He learned African culture, language, culture, mores and folkways. The Savior's sojourn there in that continent to the age of consent provided the spiritual soil from which more than 57,000 African saints, and martyrs later sprouted.

Ancient African Christians well knew of those fruits saints and bishops Augustine, Athanasius, Antony of the Desert, and Cyprian of Alexandria, and Catherine the Great of Alexandria, long before her contact with Joan of Arc. But we have forgotten our history in the Church. Most of us think we were converted by Europeans.

"Not so!", exclaims author James Wesly Smith in his second edition Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk.

We've been involved in the Church from before day one,” Smith says. St. Clement points to Ethiopians present in the Upper Room at Pentecost. The word Ethiopians was an ancient euphemism for Blacks or Africans.

Acts 8:26-39 includes the Eunuch Finance Minister of the mighty warrior Kandake, Queen Candace of Axum/Nubia/Cush (Abyssinia) who was included among the first Christian converts," Smith says. And the Coptic Ethiopian and Orthodox branches of the Church know where Baby Jesus was raised near Heliopolis, Old Cairo.

The bible says Joseph and Mother Mary to return to Israel when Herod died. But a deeper bible study shows that Herod was really title. So Herod Archaeleus replaced the Herod that died,” Smith said.

That ruler caused Joseph to turn to Nazareth, itself a move of spiritual and historical significance. The Nazarenes proved an especially religious part of the Habiru, reflected in the popular and religious artwork of Jesus to be shown in the white linen garments, with his hair parted in the middle.”

According to Smith, “they would be likened to the Hassidim of today. And you can still find descendants of the African Essennes—kin to the Nazarenes-- particularly in Ethiopia wearing the same hair middle part. Hassidim and Essennes were strict and holy religious adherents to the Father's way. Jesus' cousin, John the Baptist was reportedly one.

Later, the African branch of the Church adopted this holiness reflected, precipitating some of the greatest saints to flow from the African continent in the first four hundred years of Christianity,’” according to the author, a St. Brigid, Los Angeles parishioner.

Smith said that saints evidence lives and examples we should follow. And in the 30 year effort, Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folks lists of more than more than 57,000 Black Saints, martyrs, and theologians, mystics, and general holy folk in the first 599 years alone of Christianity. Most were members of the powerful, Ancient African Church, nearly destroyed by the Arians and Vandals in the 400s A.D.

The 456-page book of more than 1000 lines will help readers to understand that Black folk have been in the Church since before the formal establishing of The Way, as Christianity was originally called.

Our involvement really started the African Pharaoh Akhenaton (Amenophis IV) promulgation, "There is one God. Smith said. Jacob's Habiru came to Egypt shortly thereafter.”

The Loyola University (Los Angeles) trained author said “the faith tradition flowed from the continent, long before European missionaries of the 17th--20th centuries allegedly (and brutally) reintroduced the faith.

He points out in his addendum that before the second century, most Christian church literature, and written thought proved to be of African origin, Paul and John aside. But for years, we had to challenge the unfounded concept that Europeans brought Christianity to Africa, (and by extension to the children of the geologic and historical Diaspora). This was a sore point, Smith said, stemming partly in the refusal of Southern bishops to evangelize Blacks after the American Civil War.

And we continually struggle to answer our Al Islam brethren as to why we follow the alien faith tradition we do. Now we have a focal point back to our ancestral land, Smith said.

Baptized at St. Martin De Porres, Columbia, South Carolina , the former St. Joseph's (Cincinnati, Ohio) altar server said that growing up, he was dismayed that all the saints we seemed to have was Martin, Benedict the Moor, and the claimed Peter Claver. We now know that before establishing churches elsewhere, at least five Apostles ministered in Africa:

Peter (Cephas) established a Babylon, Egypt (Kemet) Church, before continuing to Antioch. Evangelist Mark (Gospel of Mark) was African and died there. Matthew, writing his gospel around 80 A.D., is known as the Apostle to the Ethiopians. Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk Book

Phillip ministered to Ethiopia, and Thaddeus Jude Lebbeus, Yeshua's cousin, healed King Abghar, the Black.

Apostles Nathaniel Bartholomew Levi and Matthias evangelized in Africa. And Smith points out that the term North Africa does not appear on any Old Roman, Greek, nor Ottoman maps. But Roman charts did list to two Mauritanias, and Africas, including Africa Proconsularis.

And the Caesars fielded two African legions (armies) from the Thebaid, one of which was composed entirely of Christians and martyred. A hotel in New York is named after one of the generals, St. Maurice (St. Moritz), Smith said.

Available through bookstores and online, Ingram (worldwide) and Booklocker.com distributes Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk. The tome's release coincides with Black Catholic History Month in November.

Smith declares that �whether the Black Church acknowledges its origin from the liturgical church: Latin Rite, Anglican, Episcopalian Christian Catholic, Orthodox, or Ethiopian Abyssinian , or from the Pulpit sides--Coptic or COGIC, AME or , Baptist, the book emphasizes the African roots of Jesus' universal Christian church in all His branches in the Mystical Body of Christ, which is all Christianity combined.“

Jesus recognized the temporary split would eventually be mended. That healing presently manifests in the African Diaspora churches. Christ did say, “I am the vine, you are the branches (John 15:5).

A second volume is planned for Christmas season release on the Black saints from 600 A.D. to present day.
