CHRONICLE INTERNET EXCLUSIVE - Holyhead Jedi leader spreads the word with new book
Published Date:
14 July 2008
HOLYHEAD'S Jedi leader has published a guide to the religion, which he claims is the world's first ever book written entirely on a mobile iPhone.
Daniel Jones, 21, or Morda HeHol, co-founder of the UK's first Church of Jediism, has released the 'Book of Jediism Volume One' on the organisation's website.
The publication is described as outlining the foundations of belief in the Force.
Daniel said: "This is the first volume in a set of ten which we will be releasing over the coming months.
"It's an introduction which sets out the building blocks of what the main belief of Jediism is, and presents an inside look at what we do."
A church official added: "It's so good to have a book that explains what we are about, out into the public view.
"We are a fast growing religion and now have up and coming celebrity members, such as Kai from Californian's 'Army Of Freshmen' pop punk band."
Daniel, the head of the international Higher Jedi Council, and brother Barney Jones, 27, (or Jonba HeHol), founded the Anglesey Order of Jedi after being inspired by the 2001 UK census.
After the Chronicle broke the story, the Holyhead chapter of the Church of Jediism was the subject of international media attention worldwide, including an interview with Time Magazine.
More recently, Daniel has appeared on daytime TV show 'Tricia' and explains that the publciity has led to a massive increase in the number of church members.
He said: "The membership has expanded by thousands, and we receive hundreds of emails every day.
"As well as the book launch, we have a number of things in the pipeline."
