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. He demonstrates 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. He unpacks how the Church's teachings apply to the modern world and the everyday reality, imbuing in us Niah's core message: everything is in the mind. Alan gives some final thoughts on his time in Jamaica and exploring the rest of the world, then concludes with his journey to Africa and his eventual settling there.
