dc.description.abstract | Christianity was introduced to Africa by western Christian missionaries who believed that African religion was at the base of development. They believed that there were only rudiments of religious beliefs and practices. Therefore, the missionaries who worked in Ukambani saw the Akamba religion as primitive and worthy only to be substituted with Christianity. with this view/they embarked on eradicating Akamba traditional beliefs and practices. If Akamba religion was not well rooted, one would expect Christianity to be accepted with great ease, and the former to be completely forgotten. This has not been the case; for Christianity and Akamba religion have continued to co-exist. The present study has/ therefore/compared both traditions, paying attention to their beliefs and worship practices, and their interaction in Ukambani. | |
