The emergence of the Rastafarian Community, 1916-1930 in Jamaica, came during the rule of British Colonialism. Lacking an Ethiopian educator, the early Rastafarian Community developed their faith out of misinterpretations and slight ignorance. These statements did not reflect the true 'tenets' necessary to establish Temple Worship. . . . . more
