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.
