In Africa and the New Face of Mission, Ebelebe argues that the
mission theory and practice of the Irish Spiritans in Igboland
(1905-1970) was forged in the socio-political and faith environment
of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Ireland; an
environment that produced a Church that was sacramentized,
devotional, conservative, and clerical. It was this Church that the
Irish Spiritans took to Igboland, and the Church that has largely
endured there until now. The author considers this regrettable and
calls for inculturation as the only way forward. He highlights the
significant contribution of the Igbo Catholic Church to the growing
pool of missionaries from the South and argues that for this Church
to be truly Igbo, it must be selective in what it reclaims from its
Irish Heritage and must draw from the resources of Igbo traditional
culture and religion. In this way, the Church can better equip its
growing number of missionaries to other nations.
