Slavery!

Not limited to white Europeans?

Many dark skinned people believe this traditional view of European slavery and they either do not know or have forgotten that Islam and the Arab world exploited Northern-Africa from the Islamic conquest in AD600 to the present day, Northern Nigeria and Libya!

The fact that is during Biblical times it was common amongst all peoples and races to have slaves or sometimes referred to as servants, that being more our role in our relationship with Jesus, if we are born-again of the Holy Spirit?

White slavery between 1618 and 1890 was encourage initially by fellow tribes wanting rid of enemies, many ship captains did resist the idea, but under pressure and as always with the human psyche were a quick profit can be made it will be made!

It was the plantations of sugar in the Caribbean and of Cotton in the southern-states of the U.S that drove the market and helped many Christian mill owners to be kind to their European workers in limited cases of guilt?

Patrick. Part-One,

Saint Patrick.

Perhaps one of the most Internationally well known Saints around the world from the U.S. to Ireland, but he is also the patron saint of Nigeria. Things are done in style and taste in the United States in relation to St. Patrick's day, by the large and long standing Irish community.

The 17th March will be marked by parades, dances and music and drink, but all of this actually has very little to do with the man himself and he probably would not approve of some of it.

We have a traditional story, filled with shamrocks and many other legends of the man. But much of what we claim to now about him is not true.

What is known about him, is that he was a born-again Christian, who first arrived in Ireland as a slave from south west England, at the age of about sixteen years old.
