E9 - Africa is a State of Mind
In their penultimate conversation, Alan and Benji look both backwards and forwards, inwards and outwards. Quizzed by Benji on the physical dissipation of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, especially after Niah's death, Alan proves to be profoundly optimistic.
Demonstrating how the kingdom is indeed alive today - even surpassing the coastal borders of Jamaica - Alan entrusts to us, the audience, the future of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church. Unpacking how the Church's teachings apply to the modern world, the everyday reality, Alan imbues in us Niah's core message: everything is in the mind. Giving some final thoughts on his time in Jamaica and exploring the rest of the world, Alan concludes with his journey to Africa and his eventual settling there.
