Consolidating Christianity in Africa

Abstract

Ranging widely and perceptively over the problems facing the African churches today, Fr. Kalanda deals with the moratorium question, the need for increased lay participation, and the need to come to grips with the challenge of African traditional religion. In the latter instance, the author believes a dialogue is called for; yet he recognizes the tensions inherent in such a dialogue. A helpful appendix deals briefly with Islam in sub-Saharan Africa and the challenge it poses for Christianity.
