Abstract
This work is an essay which is to be presented at the Tangaza
College, (Theological Centre for Religious), the Constituent
College of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa,CUEA, Nairobi,
in March 1997, marking the end of a four-year Theological training
at the same College. It is a study of the Luo Community of Nyanza
Province, Western Kenya, as regards their Family Spirituality, an
important area of their religious and spiritual world.
In doing this work, I was greatly assisted by the generous
selfless co-operation of the people and institutions of higher
learning in getting the raw-materials I needed for presenting this
work. The assistance I got enabled me to gather rich information
from the people I personally interviewed during my field research
and also from books which treated the same topic. Therefore,from
the information given, I too applied my own personal critiques
according to my observation which I considered could justify the
claims I put forward and I believe, can make the family image for
a better change in the future.
For practical reasons, it is not possible to thank all the
individuals who, through co-operation and encouragement, helped me
to carry out this research; although, the key helpers have been
included in the list of informants in the text below. To all of
them, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the cooperation,
which sometimes, involved personal sacrifices and
physical hardships but without which I would have achieved very
little.
