Chinua Achebe's novels and essays have always drawn our attention to issues of memory, the story, history and our own obligation to history as Africans. Achebe constantly goes back to the authority of narrative - the story; and as the subsequent generations of African writers like Chimamanda Adichie keep returning to, to celebrate Africa's many stories, its moments of failure and triumph. Achebe, more than any other writer on this continent, has inspired many, and hopefully the African story tellers of the coming centuries, irrespective of their location will continue to be inspired by him. This collection of essays is an enduring tribute to this rich legacy of Achebe.

The essays in this book explore varieties of baptismal practice today, address the continuing problem of 're-baptism', offer fresh perspectives on the relation between baptism and Christian ethics, and call the churches to draw the full implications for Christian unity of their 'mutual recognition of baptism'. Baptism, the birthright common to all Christians, is a cornerstone of the ecumenical movement. Continuing the dialogue among liturgists, theologians, church musicians and pastors begun in So We Believe, So We Pray (WCC, 1995), this book focuses on baptism in relation the unity of the church. Exploring patterns of baptismal practice today, it includes striking examples of inculturation from around the world. It also insists on the link between liturgy and life. With contributions from Gordon Lathrop, Anscar Chupungco, OSB and Janet Crawford, this book is an important resource for everyone concerned with baptism, worship, the life of the church and the ecumenical movement today.

Agricultural Decision Making: Anthropological Contributions to Rural Development presents the impact of farmers' choices in agricultural production. This book discusses how individual decisions determine household profits and well-being, capital requirements, land use, and the adoption of technology. Organized into three parts encompassing 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the theoretical and methodological questions concerning the use of formal models in evaluating the alternatives open to farmers. This text then explores the patterns of agricultural choices within one rural community. Other chapters consider the implications of decision-making research for agricultural development policy and explore the decision-making context of aid programs. This book discusses as well the impacts of nonagricultural alternatives on agricultural decisions. The final chapter deals with various policy and development programs for agricultural development. This book is a valuable resource for economic anthropologists, historians, economists, agricultural economists, rural sociologists, psychologists, farmers, and research workers.

Do the Igbo people have true leaders? Can the practice of "Ozo title taking" be inculturated into Christianity? In this insightful book, Dr. Oforchukwu provides us with some probing questions to reflect upon with regards to Ozo title taking in the Igbo Catholic communities. Dr. Joachim debunked the popular view that has referred to the Igbo nation as, "a kingless race" - Igbo Enwe Eze. In this book, the author explores the Theological analysis of Ozo title taking and its implications for current leadership issues in Igbo Catholic Church. The purpose of this research study is threefold.?First, the author sets out to investigate if the Igbo people really do have true kings and leaders (Igbo Nwere Eze).?Second, Dr. Oforchukwu demonstrates that Ozo titled holders have held legislative, executive, and judicial powers within the Igbo community and, thus, can step forward and truly act as leaders of the Igbo people.?Finally, this author demonstrates that Ozo title taking can be "Inculturated" into the Catholic Church. Among the Igbo people, an "Nze" is the equivalent of a Catholic Knight. A titled holder is widely known for having an impeccable character: Title holders are regarded for their honesty, truth, and the love and care they demonstrate for the least advantaged in the society.Dr. Oforchukwu proposes some pragmatic guidelines that would serve as benchmark in Ozo title taking all across the Igbo Catholic Community. Joachim invites those who read this insightful book, to join hands to work towards inculturating this long held Ozo institution into Christianity, especially, in the Diocese of Orlu, where the Church leadership used the 2000 Diocesan Synod to, not only ban and ostracize, but to excommunicate the Ozo titled holders.
