Me Févry shook the bases of this assumption while calling in question its historical, philosophical, ethnological and sociological arguments. Févry supports, for example, that the event of Wood Caiman (or Bwa Kay Imam) was not a ceremony voodoo, but rather a “conspiracy of the leaders of the Haitian revolution” to prepare the general revolt of the slaves of 1791. Févry as drew up a comparative table between the voodoo and Christianity to show as the voodoo in its esoteric and fetishistic practices degrades its members by the fear and the lie while the Christian faith releases the hearts and makes the promotion of the national development. step@uebh.org.
It was the first face to face between Voodoo and Christianity on an ideological basis and it provides to both sides information that will continue to candle the debate. However, Haitian Believers can reassure themselves that there is not matter to shake their faith and that there are ethnological and historical information valid for dispute the theses of the Voodoo book, I remember. Me Févry has the merit to have represented with honor and sagacity the Haitian evangelic position.
