| contents | <p>The Bobo, people of African traditions, lives in the west of Burkina Faso. Their socio-political structures were strongly disrupted by the Wattara, who came as conquerors from Kong in the 19th century, then by colonization in the 20th century. It was a culturally unbalanced, but not unstructured, Bobo society that the missionaries of the Christian and Missionary Alliance undertook to evangelize from 1923. Against their unsuitable message and perceived as alienation from the ancestral cultural base, the Bobo put up significant religious resistance, delaying the founding of a Church. Until the hibernation of their apostolate in 1942, American missionaries had to define their apostolic strategy on several occasions so as not to be excluded from their own missionary field by the competing Catholic mission. This article attempts to elucidate the difficulties encountered and to understand the strategic solution that was implemented by the evangelizers. </p> |
