| Summary: | The sub-culture which has grown up among the Episcopalian Sagadas is sharply different from that of their pagan neighbors, at least in the formal observance of rites and ceremonies. In this article Mr. Pacyaya describes the pagan ceremonies and the differences in the practice of Christians. He is writing with first-hand experience as a member of the society. His approach is descriptive, and this is the important first step. We must know what the actual changes of behavior are, in detail. We hope that Mr. Pacyaya or someone else will take the next step, an analysis of the meaning of these changes, the meaning to members of the Sagada community, Christian and pagan alike. |
