    Formation of Human Conscience: A Way of Liberation and Redemption
    (Tangaza University College, 2007) Omondi Watta, Joahness
    This paper deals with the issue of human person and conscience formation from the perspective of Luo tradition and Christian tradition. We shall examine the reason why it is important to review the formation program in the Christian life. Due to the fact that early missionaries didn't put into consideration the idea of inculturation, there have been problems concerning the way a Luo Christian should live his/her Christian life faithfully without being involved in syncretism. Moreover, we shall look into some of the ways in which a Luo attitude can be changed through inculturation. This can be done by inculturating Christianity into the Luo traditional values of the people themselves. So, our attention is focused on the formation of human conscience among the Luo people of western Kenya, as well as the understanding and formation of human conscience in the Scriptural and theological aspects. We further look into ways in which inculturation of Christian formation of human conscience can be made possible from the perspectives of Luo tradition, touching especially on the areas of community, family and pastoral problems and solutions. The main area of concern is "inculturating" I Christianity into Luo ways of life as a concern to the traditional values and customs.
