Voice 1: African Christians point out that to not follow witchcraft does not mean to deny all tradition and culture. The African Church has moved a long way from old colonial thinking.

聲音1:非洲基督徒指出,不遵循巫術并不意味著否定所有的傳統和文化。非洲教會早已遠離舊殖民思想。傳統和文化對人們的生活非常重要。一位傳教士寫了一篇文章描述他訪問過的非洲教會。那個教會離非洲很遠。位于美國。他說:
Voice 6: "It is a church I love because they celebrate being African. They light the Kwanazaa candles every Sunday. They end each prayer with 'Ashe, Alleluia, Amen.' They wear African clothes. They talk, pray and sing about Africa. I loved it. I felt so at home. I felt so complete. This is a church where African people can celebrate their faith with the context of their social and historical lives."
聲音6:“這是我喜愛的教會,因為他們會為自已是非洲人而慶祝。他們每個周日都會點燃夸納扎蠟燭。他們以‘阿什,哈利路亞,阿門’結束每一次祈禱。他們穿著非洲服裝。他們談論、祈禱和歌唱非洲。我很喜歡這個教會。我覺得很自在。也感覺很完整。在這個教會,非洲人民可以結合他們的社會和歷史生活來慶祝他們的信仰?!?/p>
