| Summary: | The Christian and the traditional African marriage rites have different, even if related, presuppositions about marriage. They highlight and propagate different concerns and values. An inculturated marriage rite that is authentically Christian and African at the same time, requires a deep grasp of and discernment of the core concerns, values, expectations, and presuppositions of the Christian and the traditional African rites within the socio-historical and cultural contexts of their emergence. The effort in this essay is to open up a space within which the core concerns and presuppositions of these rites can encounter each other. |
