Summary
A church is staging a Bob Marley Mass, blending his anti-colonial anthems with Anglican liturgy to spotlight themes of justice and hope — but Rastafari leaders are furious, calling it spiritual piracy and exploitation. They accuse the church of ignoring Rastafari rights, like cannabis rituals, while using Marley’s legacy for a colonial setting. The church insists it’s theological engagement, citing Marley’s own baptism into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, but Rastafari demand cancellation, an apology, and real action before any dialogue can begin.
