Meaning
In Rastafari Iyaric, spiritual, sacred, or 'of the church' in the highest sense — pertaining to Jah, worship, and the inner spiritual work of a Rasta. It is set against 'political', the worldly, Babylon-facing side of life: the churchical is the holy and eternal, the political is the temporal struggle. Compare 'heartical' (heartfelt, sincere).
