Blackfriars, 1952
If there is a ‘problem’ of adapting or accommodating African rites and beliefs to Christianity, it is one to which missionaries best know the answers. Students of primitive people are better employed in saying what does happen, rather than in speculating as to what might or should happen. The problem posed in theory, in which abstract African rites and

Blackfriars, 1940

It seems at first to destroy their native virtues without building up new ones, to change external observances without giving real Christian character.There is a certain amount of truth in this, and apart from the more mysterious causes—that ...
