This study explores the absorption of Western religious ideas into
African religious traditions, the emergence of independent African
churches and religious movements, and their connection with
political protest. The Friends African Mission, an offshoot of the
evangelical revival in Britain and America in the late 19th
century, took root among the Luyia people of Western Kenya. Quaker
doctrines found a particular resonance with indigenous religion and
spirituality but also divided African Quakers. The author considers
the work carried out in education, agriculture, industrial training
and health care by the Society of Friends, and charts the
development of an independent church (finally established in 1963).
She traces the developing relationship between African Quakers and
the emerging African nationalist movements, and the colonial
administration.
