dc.description.abstractLonergan, a well-known theologian and philosopher of the 2011) century, asserts that "a theology mediates between a cultural matrix and the significance and role of a religion in that matrix.'' In the process of inculturation two elements are involved - culture and faith. In the case of Africa (and in our case), it is the Christian faith which meets different cultures. It is only when both (faith and culture) enrich each other and a mutual relationship is established that the process of inculturation can be fruitful. The aim of this short thesis is first to state the current situation of the Embians as pertains to the Christian faith. Second. to reflect on how Christ's presence can enrich and elevate the Embian culture. By doing this, the Embians will be greatly rejuvenated by the new life of grace. This paper consists of three chapters which do not early the same weight. In the First Chapter, we shall have an overview of Firibu diocese. Here we shall have a glance of the geographical location of Embu in Kenya, the notion of God and worship, and then, in a few words we shall come to know when the seeds of Christian faith were "planted- in Embu diocese. Bernard I onei gall, h-thud in Throln2- (No \N York: I lercler and 1 lerder. 1972). xi. The Second Chapter gives the world-view of the Embians. This will help us to get an idea of the general Embian mind-set in the contemporary times. We shall outline some of their virtues and challenges. Our main Chapter is the Third one. A substantial amount of time of reflection has been given in this chapter. It is an attempt to integrate grace in the Embian world view. This has been done by analysing the values and challenges already discussed in Chapter Two and trying to show how Christ's presence can enrich, transfbrm and perfect them.en_US
