Abstract

222 gives a reasonable account of the position of the Catholic Church in rural Tanzania and of recent trends in African Catholic theology, of which it itself is part. Whether 'evangelization' is really more than a truce between local practices and the Church hierarchy after the failure of 'adaptation', however, remains to be seen.
