dc.description.abstractOn 'struggling' to write this paper on Mozambique, particularly on the topic I have chosen, I first of all asked myself a question: will I succeed in saying anything meaningful and relevant? Therefore, in this connection I would like to point out some relevant elements that I tried to develop in this essay such as: -A well documented courage of the missionary activity of the Church; -An analysis of the different methodologies applied by the missionaries to foster evangelization; -A reading analysis and reflection on the Papal Encyclical "Redemptoris Missio" which, I believe, has enhanced my understanding of the history of the mission in Mozambique and put it into the proper perspective. However, in analyzing the missionary activity in this country, it is necessary to look at it in the following phases: the Mission during the Portuguese colonial era; the 'Mission during the independence war period, specifically between 1964 and 1975; the Mission in the Mozambican Revolution and the Dawning of a new era. Finally, I will concentrate on some first hand witnesses in order to prove, illustrate or to develop each point. Hence, three factors in the history of mission in Mozambique must be analyzed: 1. Religious Transformation: the type of changes that have occurred, bearing in mind that people had their religious experiences before the coming of colonialism. 2. Cultural Transformation: through colonialism and the Church (missionaries) new cultures come: local and foreign cultures; the coming of modernity; the mentality which changes all the cultures. 3. Social Transfonnation: having in mind the revolutions, e.g. "FRELLMO" and others, which also contributed to the Church's development in Mozambique.en_US
