Opis

Christine E. Curley brings to light the history of the Anglican Church in The Gambia by looking particularly at one of its churchs: St. Pauls, Fajara. The book evaluates Anglican leadership in the mid-twentieth century and postulates why the Anglican Churchs growth has been so small in comparison to Islams dominance. By sketching the background of the country, including its African, British, and Islamic roots, in addition to the efforts of the Church, this book shows how Christianity has been shaped in West Africa. Curley elucidates how differing mentalities and leadership styles either helped to foster growth or engender stagnation in the Anglican Church in The Gambia.
