It is argued that the ghosts of the 1930s have returned. The author seeks to establish whether there is any link between ritual murder and the historical, traditional religious beliefs that were abolished during the missionary period and are today argued by elderly respondents as being the source of the resurgence of ritual murder, related to suppressed beliefs and wider economic influences. This book will address the key issues relevant to this context systematically, such as the acceptability of corruption in cultural development, the impact of the deterioration in moral values and the problem of faking culture as an assumed means of success. The impact of changes in society will also be analysed and considered as a question that should guide national developments in the global influence of commercialisation and fear. The author examines how (European) missionary teaching abolished every existing African belief and value, which were the bonds that united people. As a result of annihilating these beliefs and values, communities descended into immorality, corruption and lack of communal responsibility. This book is a unique and valuable resource for the churches and for secular groups concerned with the way in which ritualistic beliefs are increasingly endangering human lives and have led to a worsening moral deterioration in society in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055807693073,"sku":"NIN9781905399604","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52465457856785,"sku":"NLS9781905399604","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/190539960X.jpg?v=1750803470"},{"product_id":"anglican-church-role-in-the-process-of-reconciliation-in-rwanda-book-henry-settimba-9781905399468","title":"The Anglican Church Role in the Process of Reconciliation in Rwanda","description":"For many years there has been misconception and mystery surrounding the events that led up to the civil war in Rwanda and the subsequent genocide in 1994. Further ethnic conflict led to the deaths of thousands of civilians, prisoners, insurgents, soldiers and even foreign nationals. This extensive thesis not only attempts to investigate the source of the Rwandan conflict, but examines the role of the Anglican Church's in helping to reconcile the divided parties. Through personal interviews and in-depth research, the author provides a well-argued analysis of the conflict, with the focus on Christian teaching having had an impact on the socio-cultural construction of Rwandan relations. It explores in detail the historical and sociological perspectives that surround the conflict and examines the reliability, replication and validity of claims that the conflict was based on the alleged natural hatred between Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups. The book also raises practical and theoretical questions about the Belgian era and how the conflict was by Belgian rule and has subsequently plagued the Rwandan people ever since.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475502067985,"sku":"NLS9781905399468","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53436695347473,"sku":"NIN9781905399468","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781905399468.jpg?v=1759842666"},{"product_id":"testing-times-book-henry-settimba-9781438947983","title":"Testing Times","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52480546373905,"sku":"NLS9781438947983","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53352182481169,"sku":"NIN9781438947983","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438947983.jpg?v=1759850387"},{"product_id":"extremism-seen-as-book-henry-settimba-9781438995601","title":"Extremism Seen as","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52486770917649,"sku":"NLS9781438995601","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749470564625,"sku":"NIN9781438995601","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438995601.jpg?v=1759859754"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-henry-settimba.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
