dc.description.abstractOur founder, Charles Cardinal Lavigerie of the Missionaries of Africa encouraged all of the Missionaries going on mission to like the people, like their culture: learn the language, eat the staple food, learn the traditions, share with them their joys and sorrows etc. This has been a motivation, with the hope that, this research will enlighten me more on how to apply the culture of the people in my missionary activities effectively. As a Dagao (someone born from my tribe), I realized in the Catholic Diocese of Wa, Ghana (my home diocese) that people have overwhelmingly embraced the gospel, however, the priests who know the traditions and practices of the faithful have a greater impact on the Christians than those lacking that ability. The above example testifies to the fact that the importance of culture in the process of evangelization cannot be overemphasized. At the end of my pastoral work in Uganda among the Karimojong, I felt the Karimojong are opened to the gospel but still so much attached to their culture which is good but some aspects especially the castle rustling and destruction of life is contrary to the gospel values. The question is how can we find a bridge between their culture and that of the gospel? Hence this research is aimed at enriching my knowledge of the Karimojong culture so as to help me and other missionaries working there do effective ministry.en_US
