TFA Chapter 18

Although the village of Mbanta thought the church that was built there would become destroyed, it kept becoming stronger. Three converts came into the village and said that all the gods had been dead. The three of them were then beaten until they were very bloody. I thought that part was just stupid. I think it is dumb that the village believes in multiple gods. Nothing happened between the church and the clan for a long time after that incident. A little while later, Mr. Kiaga (the interpreter) told the clan they must shave off their hair. They were scared that they would die if they did that, but Mr. Kiaga said he wouldn't admit them if they didn't shave their heads. They ended up shaving their head (good for them, the sissys). A year later their was a big deal about the sacred python. It was supposedly killed. Okonkwo says "until the abominable gang was chased out of the village with whips there would be no peace." There were other people that disagreed (thank gosh) .. The Christians ended up growing into a small community. Later it was almost Easter and Mr. Kiaga told the women to get water to wash the church to prepare for Easter. When they returned their pots were empty. Apparently they were whipped by men when they went to get water. I thought this was rude. If they want to believe in one God then let them. I don't want people telling me what to believe in.
