Funeral Rites Reformation for Any African Ethnic Community Based on the Proposed New Funeral Practices for the Agikuyu

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The author made his basic point very clear: the present death and funeral practices of the Agikuyu (and we can say it also of our own cultures, I think) have little basis in either traditional burial practices, nor the Old or New Testament traditions, nor the early Christian practices. It could--and sometimes should--be changed.”
