Description

A.The book speaks about the history of Christianity in Nigeria from the 15th century AD till today. -From the initial attempts during the time of Portuguese explorations -The arrival of the Anglicans towards the end of the Slave trade -Establishment and expansion of the Catholic Church -The beginning of the Native African Churches - the root of today's proliferation of Churches. B.As we are marking the 150th anniversary of the first Mass celebrated by Fr. Borghero SMA, which was the beginning of the establishment of the Catholic Church, a full chapter traces the exact location of that First Mass in the modern Lagos of today. C.50% of the book is on history and the other 50% is on analysis. Old and new strategies and the modern challenges are analysed. These are meant to provoke discussions at various levels. -Attitude towards the other Christian denominations: Where to draw the dividing line between ecumenism and the defence of truth? -As schools are given back to the Church, what would be their role in a changed set up of today? -Dealing with the devil: Questions concerning diabolic activities and the ministry of exorcism today. -We have a well established indigenous clergy today. What next? What are the challenges facing the general welfare of the clergy? What to do if healers themselves are wounded or wounding?
