Religious Education School Based Assessment

In providing basic health care in hospitals, medical practitioners should not only focus on giving physical treatment to patients but also provide spiritual and psychological assessment and management for them. This practice as suggested by many studies (see Chapman, 2003; Eberst, n.d.,) can help the hospitals develop a new method of healing that is more holistic in approach. The Joint Commission (2005) recommends spiritual assessment program which can help the medical officers to know the needs of the patients aside from the usual physical treatment. It will help them

Like most of the world during this time, the black population was not allowed any political power, and many began to seek ways to resist. One of the methods used as a means to passively fight back against the imbalance was the Rastafarian religion. The Rastafarian religion was born early in the twentieth century, but its roots date back as far as the late 1800’s when slaves felt compelled to revolt against the plantation owners on the belief that God was calling them to fight for freedom. In 1927, a man named Marcus Garvey brought forth to Jamaicans the basis of the Rastafarian religion, which was to look to Africa for the crowning of a king. This would be a sign for Jamaica that freedom is near. From Africana, the Encyclopedia of the African and the African-American Experience, author Roanne Edwards quotes Garvey: “Look to Africa for the crowning of a king to know that your redemption is nigh” (Edwards 1592). In 1930 Ras Tafari was crowned emperor of Ethiopia and baptized with the name Haile Selassie.

The Rastafari movement is a positive movement that promotes peace amongst all, self-respect, self -awareness, and respect for others.

Rastafari’s believe Tafari Makonnen, who was crowned Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia on November 2nd, 1930 is the living God incarnate, called Jah. He is the black Messiah that will lead the world's people of African origin into the Promised Land of full emancipation and divine justice. This is partly because of his titles King of Kings, Lord of Lords and Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. These titles match those of the Messiah mentioned in the book of Revelation, in the Christian New Testament (Rastafari).

Africa itself which for centuries had a lot of Islamic influences along with many polytheistic religions. These were the belief system that was created by the people for the people, as these enslaved Africans settled in their new country they brought with them many belief systems from different tribes across the great continent of Africa. These beliefs and bodies traveled from their homeland to their host land to further introduce their understanding of spirituality on a much deeper love and connection back to their ancestral home. African Americans wanted an outlet, along with have some remembrance of their homeland helped them accomplish the connection between landscape and the traveling of bodies through the vast connection

Most Americans see Islam as an Arab religion, and because of that many neglected the Muslim identity of these Black immigrants. Still, Harlem is viewed as the Black place where African Muslims show a new blues people with their own unique story to tell. There has even been a street sing at a hot spot in Harlem on the corner of 12th which is “ African Square”. Also, there are some places are renamed by Africans, such as “ Fouta Twon”, a heavy Fulani Muslim compromise in Brooklyn where ethnicity and religion overlap” (Diouf-Kamara 1997). African bazaars with street sellers prolonged along 125th Street, most of the West African markets were organized traditionally based on those sellers’s traditions which mostly was a fWestern African tradition, the open air sidewalk, business made a celebratory feeling punctuated with a bell of African vernaculars, colorful shows of traditional African, haggling voices, and designer

Reflecting back on our reading “nature and spirit, Creator and Creation are viewed as a unified reality in African cosmology, thus providing an important foundation for African Spirituality. It is the freedom of God to be God, to continually create and transform reality, that gave hope to African slaves as they struggled to make sense of a life of forced oppression and dehumanization. As Africans in the American Diaspora were able to hear and find meaning in biblical concepts, they were able to build up on the African Spirituality that they had internalized and transmitted orally in order to survive the horrors of the American scene. By now as African-Americans, they could steal away and establish their own form

In many ways it could be argued that Marcus Garvey was the most significant African American civil rights leader of this time because of his role in tackling the social issues African American’s faced. He aimed to improve the lives of African Americans by encouraging them to take control of their own affairs and education. His role surrounding this issue is illustrated by his founding of the UNIA. This Universal Negro Improvement Association was an organisation dedicated to racial pride, economic self sufficiency and the formation of an independent black nation in Africa. Through this and the magazine the ‘Negro World’ he urged African Americans to be proud of their race, and argued “a people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”. It has been said that through Garvey’s dedication to social improvement for his race he managed to capture the imagination of many blacks for whom the American Dream was a dirty joke.

Rastafari is an African religion that is still relatively new. The religion was developed in the 1930s in Jamaica after Haile Selassie was named the King of Ethiopia. The followers of this religion believe that Selassie is God and that he will return all of the black people displaced from slavery and colonization to Africa. Bob Marley’s music and success helped spread the religion. The Rastafarians believe that black people are the chosen people of God. Some of the religious practices in the religion include smoking and inhaling marijuana. The purpose of the marijuana is to increase a person’s spiritual state of mind and awareness. Most Rastafarians have long

Looking back at the history of the culture that has risen from the ashes; one may be quite surprised just how far the African American culture has come. The progression of the African American culture is indeed one to be proud of. From cotton fields to Harlem, “The New Negro Movement”, sparked a sense of cultural self-determination, with a yearning to strive for economic, political equality, and civic participation. This was a movement that sparked a wide range of advancements in the African American culture. Leaving footprints of great individuals as well as set a path way for future generations to follow; setting a trend for Black greatness.

The lyrics call for its listeners to "get up, stand up, stand up for your rights", and to "not give up the fight". While it is known that the Rasta religion advocated non-violence, it also advocated equality and repatriation to Africa (King, 39). With this main chorus throughout the song, Marley demonstrates his commitment to the Rasta beliefs, and calls for his listeners to rise up against the colonialism of Jamaican rule. Rasta beliefs also stem from a religious origin, which Marley also clearly discusses in this piece.

Rastafari is, before it is anything else, a way of life. It offers approaches and answers to real problems black people face in daily living; it promotes spiritual resilience in the face of oppressive poverty and underdevelopment. It produces art, music and cultural forms, which can be universally recognized and appreciated. More important, Rastafari provides a positive self-image, an alternative to people who need and cannot find or accept one elsewhere. Even with its black foundation and orientation, Rastafarianism is open to anyone, of any race, who chooses to discover and is able to accept it.
