African Spirituality For the New Age

Chiisim otherwise known as Godianism is a movement that aims to express African traditional spirituality in its purest form. African spirituality is what sustained our culture for thousands of years. We were able to build great ancient civilizations based on this spirituality. Sadly, after the arrival of Christianity, we were taught that all African religions are paganist. This was due to the fact that the Europeans did not understand our spirituality. Sadly, many of us have been brainwashed to think this way as well. But with knowledge of ourselves, which begins with knowledge of our spiritual heritage, we can be freed by the truth of who we really are.

Godianism spreads the message of love and oneness. It does not discriminate or divide. It seeks to enhance all life. The following words are part of the introduction to the Godianism website.

"It will be a refreshing and exciting experience if a person can go to India and feel free to worship in the liturgical variety of either Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism or Jainism; or to China or Japan and feel free to share the liturgical variety of Confucianism, Taoism or Shintoism; and the liturgical variety of Islam and Christianity in Mecca or Rome; while in Africa you experience the traditional coordinating concept of Chiism, without any prejudice or rancor. With precepts--rational, positive, constructive and objective as these, Chiism is a useful agency for unity promotion and the mobilization of the masses of humanity for harmonious civilization everywhere on earth. We call on all peace loving religions to preach these new lights from Chiism from their pulpits, so that a great new spiritual civilization would be established among the masses of humanity everywhere on earth."
