I will make two preliminary qualifications. First. although I have travelled in other parts of Africa. my experience of Africa has largely been in West Africa and particularly Nigeria. So while my observations may often fit the continent as a whole. at times they may seem more particular to the West African context. And in any case I will draw most of my examples from the part of Africa with which I am most familiar Secondly. my observations arc primarily limited to the Protestant churches. Although I have regular contact on a personal and professional basis with Roman Catholics. the comments following primarilv refer to Protestant Christianity in Africa.
