Journal 9


  1. What were the consequences to the village as a result of giving the missionaries land in the evil forest?
  2. What are the cultural gains to the Christians and losses to the Ibo because of the decision to locate the church in the forest?

The consequences to the villagers for giving the missionaries land was that the missionaries were succeeding in their mission to spread Christianity. The Christians have some gains because they are spreading their faith to a culture that is foreign to them. The Ibo faith is slowly dying because of the missionaries.

Ibo

  • Be fake friendly
  • Proved wrong
  • Mocking them
  • Rigid
  • Lost validity

Missionaries
  • Get land
  • Joined religion
  • Proving they are superior/powerful
  • Accepting & open
  • Gained Validity
  • Encouraged outcasts
  • More people talked about them
