The controversial history and traditions of religions in Jamaica. Pt.1 

I have been waiting for this, thank you.

Thanks for highlighting this part of our history. The founder of the Baptist movement's name is pronounced "Lile." The first church he started eventually became East Queen Street Baptist Church. In addition to their goal of spreading the Gospel and abolishing slavery, they wanted to educate black people. As such, the Baptist church started the most schools in Jamaica, the first being Gully School, which is now known as Calabar Infant Primary & Junior High School.

They're so many denomination God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and true ✔️

Great research presented in an easy to understand way. Thank you👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Just the title alone made me subscribe. It was very educational and informative. Looking forward to watching your other videos. And thanks to yt for recommending your channel in my feed.

Great job on this topic I enjoyed watching. Very informative and well balanced.

The Moravian churches are always build at scenic spots and has such amazing designs

Adventists started off a rumour of the second coming of Christ. They had even set a date for the second coming of Christ and when it never happened, everybody was disappointed. Jamaica full of denomination still.

IT Is always a pleasure to read or listen to how the different denominations have emerged..people are not on earth to sleep work eat and drink but we have a spiritual part of us humans and which can be a sensitve topic

Great video!!!

Very informative but I was waiting to hear about Rastafarian 👍🏾👍🏾

I'm a Seventh Day Adventist

Im glad you titled this "part 1" because there's definitely more to the story 😂 you didn't touch on revivalist or pocomania church yet

What about the jewish synagogues?

❤yes sir 😊beautiful church ⛪️

Thanks for the information! Very informative 👏 👌 👍 😀 Grateful for especially the Moravians.What happens to the Pentecostal? When were they introduced? Would appreciate their history also!

Very interesting and eye opening. The Pentecostal movement is not mentioned???

Jewish and Methodist Rastafarism are includind hindu and a host of others which are older and influential are missing

All these churches that you read about, were before the Pentecostal, new testament, apostolic, and the church of god

"The biography of the Caribbean", German Arciniegas, loved to talk about "Our Mediterranean" referring to the Caribbean. Following his example I did exactly the same in my recent book: "El Caribe, Siempre el Caribe..." One way or another there is something nobody can deny about this sea of heavenly beauty and its cluster of unmatched islands. Western civilization entered the Western Hemisphere for the first time through the islands of the Caribbean and Sephardic Jews were among the first Europeans to set foot on the soil of the Western Hemisphere, the New World discovered by Christopher Columbus. I am among those that consider Columbus a Sephardi, that is, a Sephardic Jew. Simon Wiesenthal postulates that Columbus was careful to conceal his Judaism. Others have argued that Columbus was a "converso", a Sephardic Jew who publicly converted to Christianity. Another word commonly used was "Marrano", a Jew living in the Iberian Peninsula who converted or was forced to convert to Christianity, many of whom continued to practice Judaism in secret. In the Caribbean Sephardic Jews were sometimes known as "Portugals" or Portuguese because they originated there or settled in that country after the expulsion of 1492. My favorite Spanish historian, Don Salvador de Madariaga, one of the xxth century's most prominent Spanish statesmen and a former professor at Oxford University describes Columbus' Jewish roots in what I consider an almost definitive biography: "Vida del Muy Magnífico Señor Don Cristóbal Colón". The presence of a good number of "conversos" in Columbus' ship is described by José Amador de los Rios in his "Historia Social, Política y Religiosa de los Judíos de España y Dortual" That ic alen tha aninian of Cimon Wincanthal in bic baol, "Coile of Lano.

Pentecostalism, Rastafarianism, and Pocomania will be discussed in Part 2, yes?

What about pentacostal churches. Poco indigenous churches. Spirit Baptihst churches

What happens to jewdaism?

What about the two religion indigenous to our country, revivalist an rastafarian

Didn’t know Moravians were from what we know as Czech Republic today. I don’t get the ‘controversial’ part tho Alex… I have a similar video on my channel entitled ‘The Five Oldest Denominations in Jamaica’.

JPS

Question are u attach to any one of those religion?

I am a non-denominational believer in the authority of the Bible, which is the only requirement to pleasing God

A good video. The sad part of Jamaican history, similar to the other territories that experienced slavery, is that an impression was created that Christianity is a white religion. Yet, Judeo-Christianity was present in parts of Africa thousands of years before Christianity even became established in Europe. Other parts of Africa were similar to pagan Europe

Babylon release the chain but dem a use dem brain

Proud to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Great video bro..Investigate the Architecture of churches, in St Thomas. Many are Moors Architecture, including Churches and buildings in Spanish Town.

As a black person /jamaican if you’re either 1 about the above it’s a shame that you have not make mention Nthg about the Africans all those church tht u made mention of are white ppl founded but not about the black but then again yuh ah white man so mak it rest deh suh

Roman Catholic for me

Great job bredda but u can't please black people with their critics and racism nothing u can do for them to appreciate u....a bet dem na talk say a dem sell out Jesus Christ and marcus garvey

Not to be too critical, but I just wanted to point out that all these (Catholicism, Baptists, SDA, etc.) are all various denominations of Christianity. Other religions would be Muslim, Judaism, Rastafarianism, Buddhism, etc., all of which are also found in Jamaica.

I find it veeery interesting that the indigenous Rastafari movement bearly got a mention. Typically, we tend to ignore our own and promote everything and everyone else. All the religions that you talked about were complicit in colonizing the minds of Jamacians and in instilling the self hatered, arrested development, low self esteem, stranger worship (foreigners are better, richer, more beautiful - bleaching phenomenon etc)that continues today. For example violence is mostly perpetrated on fellow Jamacians, and rarely on visitors. The Rastafari movement that taught and stood for self value, self esteem, our history and our future IS ALWAYS overlooked. And I am not talking about dreadlocks hair - because people have a tendency (through ignorance) to conflate dreadlocks and Rastafarians. Yet Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Reggae music -- integral and essential to Jamacian's international prominence and recognition globally emerged through Black Consciousness. Yes colonized minds and William Lynch Syndrome continues to preserve and disperse the toxic poison that we administer to ourselves.😭😭😭

Who cares
