Manon Larouche, also known as Ti-Maman, was the leader of the Souragnien Church of Ezra from 700 BC to 710 BC. Now vilified as a heretic by purists in the Church of Ezra and the voodan community for her combining both into the same doctrine. Ti-Maman recognized the existence of loas, but she also declared Ezra the greatest of all the loas. Her "revelation" came as of 705 BC, after 5 years of relative calm.[1]

In 706 BC, she left the church in Port d'Elhour and migrated to the Marais d'Tarascon Church. There she began speaking and healing anyone, even non-believers. The insertion of voodan icons and other religious worships into her church and the flocking of the lower classes to her sermons alienated all respect the plantation owners had for her. In the end, she was assassinated by unknown parties in 710 BC.[1]

Etienne Lefebvre, made Secretary of the Church in 706 BC, was her successor. Using a combination of past religious precedence, fears of a growing revolution with assassins running around, and phrasing his question of "who are we to question Ezra's will, Etienne has more ably continued with Ti-Maman's message of inclusion (though more tot he point of tolerance rather than of combining voodan practices with .) He also continues where she left off in writing what might become the Fifth Book of Ezra.[2]

Although Ti-Maman was frequently decried as a heretic in her lifetime, she is recognized as having been authentic to the Church in death. Still, her presence can still be felt in the legacy she left. In 714 BC, statues of Ti-Maman began to pop up in shrines. Combined with the rumors of worshipers using her as an intermediary to Ezra, this caused quite a stir. In 715 BC, the statues are said to have began granting miracles. For its part, the Church regularly documents all such "miracles".[3]
