Abstract

The article focuses on Christian unity in Africa. Christianity in Africa grew since the 1950s through the help of Independent and Pentecostal churches. The relationships between modern and old mission-founded churches was not stable due to ethnic and social differences since African communal was eradicated by colonizers and inter-African conflicts. It shows that healing of this relationship can be shown by reconciliation, calling for African Christians to convert themselves from dividing communities.
