Description
Summary:Mozambique, a nation that boasts the longest coastline in Sub-Saharan Africa, has long weathered encounters with the global economy, from Muslim traders to Portuguese colonists. The resultant cultures are incredibly diverse and complex. What ethnodoxology “best practices” will both preserve the present culture and promote Christ? This article outlines some of the unique challenges and surprising results of a recent songwriting workshop among the Makhuwa-Nahara people in northern Mozambique, suggests strategies for future workshops, and explores missiological implications for such efforts in Muslim contexts.
