Charles Edwards (Rastafari)

Charles is regarded to have established the "Churchical Order of Melchizedek" which governs this Congress functioning as Church and State.

[1] Charles taught that the African diaspora scattered across the Earth and predominantly in the west are the descendants of the Israelites and his followers acknowledge him as the "Black Moses" in this dispensation to return all slave descendants to their original homeland, Ethiopia.

For this reason this Congress was formed and Church developed agitating for the "Freedom, Redemption and International Repatriation" of his people.

Charles fought relentlessly for the rights of his people and soon became publicly respected and given the titles 'Black Christ in Flesh'.

The "triune" positions of the Bobo Ashanti trinity are as follows: Marcus Garvey as the "Prophet", Emmanuel Charles as "Priest", and Haile Selassie as "King".
