dc.description.abstractIn the first chapter we will describe briefly the history, geography and some cultural, social, political background of the Sukuma people. We will also present a brief history of the Christian presence in Usukuma. That will help us understand better the mentality of this fascinating people. In chapter two we shall examine the understanding of the will of God among the Sukuma. In order to do that we will first look at the beliefs of the Sukuma, in particular their belief in the Supreme Being and the role of the ancestors in their daily life. Secondly, we shall explain the problem of fatalism which seems to be permeating the Sukuma attitude towards life. We shall also look at God's role in the daily living of the Sukuma. In chapter three we will attempt to present the Sukuma's concept of God's will as a challenge to our Christian mission. In that we shall turn to the pages of the Holy Scriptures. We shall reflect on our topic in the light of Christ Jesus who is the icon of the loving Father. Lastly, we shall give some practical suggestions for a positive development and change of the seemingly biased thinking of the Sukuma. It is worthwhile mentioning that our study will be focused and based on the Catholic understanding of God's will.en_US
