THE CHRISTIAN MISSION IN AFRICA

By Edwin W Smith
(International Missionary Council. 3s. 6d.)

“THE GOLDEN STOOL”

 Christianizing the African
“. . . we are firmly convinced the Christian
missions are more than ever needed in Asia and
Africa, and that it is our duty, as Christians, to
support them but we are equally sure that in
order for missions to be successful must be wisely
directed, with a full knowledge of the new
problem which advancing civilization, material
rather than moral, brought with it in non-
European lands.”
 Christianizing the African
 Mr. Smith's valuable little book defines
these problems and indicate tentative
solutions. It is, in effect, an ordered
summary of the opinions which were
expressed at an international conference
held in Belgium last September and
attended not only by missionaries but also
by administrators, teachers and (scholars
of various countries).
 Christianizing the African
Many of their statements were startlingly frank,
even disquieting. The African's rat consciousness
is developing. He may devise a Christian of his
own: almost certainly he will modify European
[elite] organizations.

But the conference was hopeful that

missions could help the African. Mr. Smith's
book deserves very serious attention..."

Page 173: “To win a people for Christ, it is
necessary to Europeanize them. Behind all
systems of administration lies the fundamental
question of what we intend to make of the
African."

"This question has, whether in

explicit terms or not, been
answered in several ways…"
 “The Golden Stool”
"One possible and largely
practiced policy, is that of
oppression, which keeps the
Native [African] in a
subjected and inferior
position,
 “The Golden Stool”
(Keep him in his own place) as a
mere serf [slave] of the dominate
race.”
 “The Golden Stool”

 "And the most effective device

that has been used to accomplish
this European agenda is the religion
that was forced upon the African
Ancestors. The religion is called
Christianity!”

Page 186 – "The First method begins
by destroying the institutions,
traditions, religious and habits of the
people then super-impose upon the
ruins whatever the governing
powers consider to be a better the
administration system."

"The other method (while checking the
worst abuse) tries to graft our higher
civilization of the soundly-rooted native
stock, bringing out the best of what is in
the native tradition and
molding them into a form
constant with our modern
ideas and higher standards.

One of the most effective ways to

suppress a people is by putting a
device in place that will disassociate
these people from their God,
spirituality, culture and history."

So they put a device in place that
would ensure their perpetual
empowerment over the minds of
those they deceived.
