African cultural religion

African cultural religion is still prevalent in Africa –and I don’t say that as a bad thing. Due to this there’s been a mixing of more traditional views and Christianity. In some respects this has worked well, in others it hasn’t. In some respects it means a traditional view has been rejected and in other respects it means a basic Western Christian value has been rejected. In some regards it means 2 views are held simultaneously in tension. i.e. many who get married have 2 weddings, a traditional African wedding and a ‘white wedding’ which is basically the English wedding service and celebrations as we know it. We also heard much talk of witch doctors which was all V interesting indeed.
