On May 13th, "Gospel Reggae band "Christafari" will be
performing on the "Awaken
Humanity" festival. This festival is presented as a benefit, a
fundraiser for a wide variety of predominantly "Christian" projects
all over the world.
Seems like a good cause, doesn't it?
That's exactly what the organization of the festival seemed to be thinking
when they came up with this idea. The "Awaken Humanity" festival is
organized by a group that has several names, and is closely connected to a
"Pastor" called Erwin McManus.
Although the festival is presented as "Christian", there are
several Satanic bands performing, too. A band called "Devil Dust",
for example, whose MySpace
page is filled with morbid and devilish graphics. According to one of the
organizers in an e-mail to the CRC: "We have asked all to make it a
family friendly show... Our hope is to interact with people from all different
backgrounds."
We also uncovered just what is meant with "awakening humanity". On
the Erwin Mc Manus
website, we can read:
"Erwin is the catalyst behind Awaken, a collaboration of dreamers
committed to creating environments that expand imagination and unleash
creativity. Convinced that the world is changed by dreamers and visionaries,
Awaken serves the purpose of history by maximizing the divine potential in
every human being."
Apprising
Ministries has a very interesting exposé on their website concerning
Erwin Mc Manus. You can find articles with titles like "ERWIN MCMANUS IS
AGAINST THE APOSTLE PETER". It turns out that those who recognize the New
Age mindset of his teachings ("the divine potential in every human
being.") are right.
The CRC has thoroughly exposed the New Age mindset of Christafari, too. We
therefore are not surprised to find out how the self-proclaimed "Founders
of Gospel Reggae" feel a spiritual connection with false teachers like
Erwin Mc Manus.
But that's not all we uncovered.
There are many questions surrounding the financial policy of the group
around "Awaken" and Erwin McManus, too!
The SOLID FOODS
WEBLOG reveals that inquiries about the many claims by Awaken led to
several people denying they have ever been given money by Awaken.
