First published, August, 2007., in this third edition, folks traditionally surmised that Christian spirituality was brought into the African continent. Author James Wesly Smith indicates in this 456 reference tome.
Not so fast. Yeshua (Jesus) grew up in Africa until age 6 or 7 to escape ing Herods 10 assassins, Smith points out. He cites the Christian Bible references of Hosea 11:1, and Matthew 2:13-15, Out of Africa, I called my son.
Blending the lists of Coptic, Orthodox and Latin Rite friends of God called saints, Smith points out that more than 56,000 Black and African-heritaged folks labored in the faith. He says it was partly that because places such as Kemet (Egypt) was Romes bread baskets subject to higher taxes, this forced many holy folk into the deserts where the faith thrived.
In folksy style, Smith also goes onto to say that in ancient Macedonian, Greek, Roman, or even Ottoman Turkish maps, the term North Africa, is found nowhere. The attorney author concludes it as a colonialist construct to denigrate the achievements and contributions of holy Africans.

57,000+ Black Saints, Martyrs, and Holy Folk Discovered in the Ancient African Church before 599 A.D.
Out of Egypt I called My Son See Hosea 11:1, Matthew 2:13-15
Why do you follow a white god? Why do you worship in institutions that never accepted you? Stinging questions Black Catholics and others ethnic perennially parry from members in the historically Black Churches.
The questions traditionally have included queries from Al Islam (Muslims) believers in the urban areas.
But now evidence exists that Christianity (also) sprang out of the African, as opposed to the Saudi Arabia origination of the Prophet Muhammad and his original followers. Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folks (The Ancient African Liturgical Church, Vol. I). seeks to correct the oversight, especially as the Church grows by leaps in bounds in the Africa and the geologic and historical lands of Black Diaspora.
Such proofs can be gleaned from the 57,000 African Saints in the early 500 years from when Jesus (Yeshua) commissioned His apostles to go forth and teach all nations.
Horrors of enslavement and colonialism still haunt and direct the Black Church experience in the church.(The barbaric practice still exists in some parts of Africa and elsewhere). But now, Black Christians, Catholics and ethnics can show that Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, grew up in Africa, personally establishing an African root to His vine, and the branches.
Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk shows that the once powerful African Church had at least five apostles ministering there before their departures to other lands. Cephas (Simon Peter) in set up a church in Babylon, Egypt before going to Antioch and finally Rome. Phillip visited and assisted the Ethiopian Eunuch (See Acts 8:26-39). Nathaniel Bartholomew Levi ministered in Africa.
Tradition calls Matthew, Apostle to the Ethiopians (See http://www.traditioninaction.org/SOD/j092sdMatthew_9-21.htm
And Jude Thaddeus Lebbeus (Jesus cousin) healed there, according to Black Saints introductory chapters. The Coptic branch of the one, holy catholic (which means universal) Church still manifests proud traditions of the Holy Familys visits. (See Isaiah 19:1, Matthew 3: 13-15. http://touregypt.net/featurestories/journey.htm).
Important information, inasmuch United States Bishops (and those elsewhere) blew an opportunity to evangelize the formerly enslaved after the American Civil War.
As the Holy Catholic church struggles in the West, the Church African (originally part of the oriental Church), finds the leaves of growth regaining the light of day, bursting thought the concrete of neglect, persecution, and heresies of the Vandals, and Arians who nearly destroyed the African Church during the AD 400s.

JAMES WESLY SMITH NEW BOOK
BLACK SAINTS, MYSTICS, HOLY FOLK PART I
Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk, Part II
With RJ Anthony, James Wesly Smith has been a niche publisher for more than 30 years of Black Catholic programs television, cable, records and audio books.
He was graduated from Los Angeles Valley College with an AA In Journalism. Matriculating to San Fernando Valley State College with a AB in Journalism Mass Communications emphasis.
Among other book titles in the 1960s, such as Modern Record Production, this appears his first work after that date.
Following a 3 year, 82 Airborne army enlistment, the Richland County, South Carolina born musician- writer served a brief, 2 year stint with Motown Record�s ITMI management in Detroit. He toured worldwide in the 1960s through the early �70s, assigned to Gladys Knight and the Pips.
That exposure allowed him to back up such as the Spinners, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, Brenda Holloway to name a few, all the while learning their production techniques.
During the time, Smith wrote the definitive Soul Magazine article of life on the Motown road, while appearing on such shows as Ed Sullivan, the Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, Pat Boone, and Hollywood Palace.
After more education, the former paratrooper signed on to Johnny Otis, then David Clayton Thomas, all the while polishing his producer and writing chops. He became an LA session musician, while returning to school once again to finish his education. Smith received a MA at Loyola University, Westchester, in Communication Arts (Television Film emphasis), and later a Loyola Juris Doctorin law, practicing Bankruptcy and Entertainment Law for more than 20 years before writing full time.
Smith is a member of St. Brigid Church, Los Angeles, where he continues to volunteer his bass guitar skills with the famed St. Brigid Gospel Choir.
Description:
Smith said racism in the church almost caused him to leave to the Orthodox and Coptic side, when he discovered the rich heritage of Blacks in the Church. He decided to stay, offering that discovery through:

BOOK FOREWORD
Before there was Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Trinity United Church;Before Bishop TD Jakes and Potter's Field, Before Bishop Noel Jones, Drs. Price & Creflo Dollar, there were Bishops Athanasius, Augustine, Cyprian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria,Macarius, Antony, --and there was Anub and Amoun--all of the original Black Church.
Yes! More than 56,000 Africa Black saints (in groups), from the early church (we mention a few; tell where to find the rest).
To answer our brethren from Al Islam, no longer will you have to shirk, when you hear "Why do you follow a religion from Europe.� You will be able to show that Christianity-- the faith of Our Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Christ-- came out of Africa, along with its precursor, the African Essenne and Therapeutae movements. Get yours today!
Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk (The Ancient African Liturgical Church,Vol. I)
Now more than 472 +plus pages of lists 57,000(grouped) Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk, in 1000 lines of information.
HERE NOW! Immediately accessible.
Most Blacks know about the African St. Augustine, and his mom, St. Monica. Some might be vaguely familiar with St. Martin de Porres, or St. Benedict the Moor.
But few know the writer of the Gospel of Mark and secretary to both Apostles Peter and Paul--was African, Mark! We have not been taught about the Saints Clement and Denis of Alexandria, nor St. Catherine the Great. Thousands of Desert Fathers and Mothers who followed Christ in the first 599 years of the Church have been hidden from us.
How many of us know about St. Macarious the Elder, and St. Macarious the Younger, Apa Noub, Ammon the Great, St. Cyprian of Carthage, Pope St. Victor I-- all African friends of God (called (I>saints)
