dc.description.abstractIt is intention of this essay to study Kamba traditional marriage, and to offer reflections, which might inculturate Christian marriage in Kikumbulyu. Among the Kamba customs there are plenty of values, which are useful in building Christian marriage. Church leaders and believers hesitate to incorporate these cultural values into Christian marriage probably due to misunderstandings and lack of right information on what inculturation really means and what should be inculturated. It is, however, observed that "the people who have maintained their cultural heritage are more attracted by the spiritual churches, which have room for culturally related patterns.... ' Conservatism in the mainline churches has slackened the process of inculturation and as a consequence the faith has not had much meaning in Kikumbulyu, since the missionaries opposed African traditional practices such as traditional marriage. In his study on the history of Christianity in Africa, Baur attested that "independent churches spearhead the movement to inculturation."8en_US
