The Realignment of Native Life on a Christian Basis

"The Realignment of Native Life on a Christian Basis" presents the detailed proceedings and reports from the Seventh General Missionary Conference of South Africa, held at the historic Lovedale Institution in June 1928. This comprehensive record offers an in-depth look at the intersections of Christianity, colonial administration, and indigenous culture during a transformative period in Southern African history. The work documents the collective perspectives of various missionary organizations as they grappled with the social, economic, and spiritual challenges facing African communities in the early twentieth century.Through a series of formal papers and recorded discussions, the text explores critical themes such as education, public health, labor relations, and the systematic integration of Christian ethics into the traditional fabric of local life. As a primary historical source, it provides invaluable insight into the ideologies that shaped missionary policy and the broader socio-political landscape of the region. This volume serves as a significant resource for those interested in religious history, African studies, and the history of missions, capturing the complex dynamics of cultural exchange and institutional reform during a pivotal era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
