ROLE OF MISSIONARIESIN DENOUNCING AND DEPRECIATING WITCHCRAFT


SOME AFRICANS MISDIRECT THEMSELVES ON THE BELIEF OF THE PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD, THE SUPREME, THEY COMMENT THAT, HE IS REMOTE AND INACCESSIBLE EXCEPT THROUGH PRIESTS AND ELDERS THAT IS WHY THEY OFFER FOOD AND DRINK IN ORDER NOT TO MAKE THEM ANGRY AND HARMLESS AND TO PREVENT FURTHER DISASTER. THEY CONTINUE COMMENTING THAT, HIS PRESENCE IS SEEN DUE TO ERUPTION OF THUNDER, AND LIGHTENING WHICH SOME TANZANIANS FEAR A LOT. ALSO MOST OF THE SOCIETY BELIEVES THAT THE DEAD ARE STILL LIVING AND COMMUNICATING WITH HUMANS IN VARIOUS SPIRITUAL WAYS SUCH AS THROUGH OFFERING SCARIFIES SUCH AS FOOD, DRINKS SO AS TO CONCILIATE THE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AND TO BRING GOOD LUCK AND PRAY FOR THE RAIN
