At the Parliament, there was one session on the orixa(orisha) religions in Latin America (Umbanda, Candomblé and Lukumi). This was headed by Rose Sackey-Milligan(lukumi) and Stanley Krippner(umbanda)

Ah, Mauritius...the Hawaii of Africa. Most Americans wouldn't have a clue where either country is (but then "America" is most of the Western Hemisphere, not just the U.S.A.). No, I'm not yet familiar with Javanese; there are people on this site who represent religions most of us never heard of. That is one of the features which make it fascinating.

Alafia!
