East African rebels : a study of some independent churches

CHRISTIANITY seems likely to be the religion of East Africa. But what kind of Christianity? Clearly not one dominated by Western missionaries. All concerned for the future of Africa will wish to study with the utmost possible sympathy the 'independent' churches, particularly in Uganda and Kenya, in which African Christians have expressed themselves. The 'independents' are a curious collection with some elements of farce but with Mau Mau round the corner, and the material in this book is psychologically fascinating. But their purpose is highly serious, and so is Mr Welbourn's, for he has been to enormous trouble to unravel their history and to understand their life." - Publisher
