Interreligious voicelessness: As our ancestors said: "begged water does not quench thirst"

Abstract

The advent of Christianity in Africa changed a lot of beliefs and practices; it is possible that the spirituality of the African Traditional Religion (ATR) made Christianity acceptable to the masses in Africa. Westernization of Christianity which was new to Africa, has become part of mainstream Christianity today. God gave us diversity; therefore diversity in religion should be embraced. Our innate religiosity makes us know and accept that there is a higher power. Multifaith issues can be put to the fore to enable us to work together to gain a voice. Is the Church today ready and prepared to listen?
