The thought of a land with not one Christian and not one missionary haunted Rowland. \n\nThe thought of a land with not one Christian and not one missionary haunted Rowland.  Images of cannibals and slaves pushed away sleep, and the stranger's words "Are you prepared to go if God calls you?" echoed over and over as he turned over in his bed.  Was he, Rowland Bingham, willing to go to the Sudan, where white men nearly always died?\n\n...serving not only in Africa, known as the white man's grave, but in Africa's Sudan interior...\n\nAt age twenty Rowland Bingham committed himself to serving not only in Africa, known as the white man's grave, but in Africa's Sudan interior, where few missionaries had ventured and those who did soon died of disease or retreated in defeat.\n\n...when he found himself the sole surviving member of the fledgling Sudan Interior Mission, he didn't give up--and neither did God.

Etymology\nFrom the Wolof banäna, through the Spanish and Portuguese, Mandingo, and Fulani

Etymology\n \nWorld map showing Africa (geographically)The name Africa came into Western use through the Romans, who used the name Africa terra — "land of the Afri" (plural, or "Afer" singular) — for the northern part of the continent, as the province of Africa with its capital Carthage, corresponding to modern-day Tunisia.\n\nThe Afri were a tribe — possibly Berber — who dwelt in North Africa in the Carthage area. The origin of Afer may be connected with Phoenician `afar, dust (also found in most other Semitic languages); some other etymologies that have been postulated for the ancient name 'Africa' that are much more debatable include:\n\nthe Latin word aprica, meaning "sunny"; \nthe Greek word aphrike, meaning "without cold" (see also List of traditional Greek place names). The historian Leo Africanus (1495-1554) attributed the origin to the Greek word phrike (φρικε, meaning "cold and horror"), combined with the negating prefix a-, so meaning a land free of cold and horror. However, the change of sound from ph to f in Greek is datable to about the first century, so this is unlikely to be the origin. \nEgypt was considered part of Asia by the ancients, and first assigned to Africa by the geographer Ptolemy (85 - 165 AD), who accepted Alexandria as Prime Meridian and made the isthmus of Suez and the Red Sea the boundary between Asia and Africa. As Europeans came to understand the real extent of the continent, the idea of Africa expanded with their knowledge.

Interesting question. The best answer is to check out my thoughts below, and then skim through pages 28-68 and see if you agree.\n\nIn the British colonial Kenya story "Weep Not, Child", the man Ngotho says ‘God showed Gikuyu and Mumbi\nall the land and told them: “This land I hand over to you"'. He believed that the land was in their care and belonged to no one man.\n\nHowland, a British settler, also feels strongly about the land  that it effect it is his "god" because he pours all his energy  and time into it and it *saves* him. He believes that the land was wasteland and therefore he has a God given right, or at least a legal right to ownership.\n\nOne claim is brotherly and shared, the other is selfish.\n\nGood luck!

Most african countries are artificial and dont follow historic tribal lines. Just look at Iraq now, you have sunnis, shias and kurds, and darfur, muslims and christians  when the government gets out of hand. Tin pot dictators often took power in most African countries, they sold out to the wests bribes for their minerals.  Took massive bribes, stuck all their family members in seats of power and corrupted the system beyond repair, persecuted other minorites to marginlisation. \n\nMalaysia and Ghana were both made independant in  1957 - compare their fortunes now.

"The first African civilization after Egypt was built by an Egyptianized people who lived between the Nile River's first and third cataracts and spoke Nilo-Saharan languages. This region around the first cataract, called Nubia, had been conquered and colonized by Egypt in the fourth millenium BC. Because of this, Egyptian civilization diffused southward and a new African kingdom was built up in the floodplain around the Nile's third cataract: the Kush. Their capital city was Kerma and it served as the major trading center for goods travelling north from the southern regions of Africa. \n\n"Kush attained its greatest power and cultural energy between 1700 and 1500 BC during the Third Intermediate period in Egypt. The domination of Egypt by the Hyksos allowed Kush to come out from under the hegemony of Egypt and flower as a culture; this period ended, however, when the New Kingdom kings, having thrown the Hyksos out of Egypt, reconquered Kush and brought it under Egyptian colonial rule."\n\nMuch more at the article linked below.

From the Wikipedia: Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as Jah (the Rastafari name for God incarnate, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalms 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity as the messiah promised to return in the Bible. The name Rastafari comes from Ras (Duke) Tafari Makonnen, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the early 1930s, arising from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy partly based on Selassie's status as the only African monarch of a fully independent state, and his titles of King of Kings, Lord of Lords and Conquering Lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5). Other factors leading to its rise include black social and political aspirations, and the teachings of Jamaican black publicist and organiser Marcus Garvey, often regarded as a prophet, whose political and cultural vision helped inspire a new world view. The movement is sometimes called "Rastafarianism", although this is considered improper and offensive by Rastas.

Peter was a Jew who staunchly upheld the old law to a fault. he expected all new converts, no matter their culture, to adopt Jewish ways. He critized Gentile Christians for not keeping a kosher diet. God used this vision to show Peter how he was being legalistic. That Jesus Christ accepts all races and cultures, and that the "letter of the law" was not what God had in mind.

I am sponsoring a child in Ethiopia.  Most Ethiopians are Christians of the Orthodox variety.  Very, very similar to Catholic.

Never heard anything like that. Cain killed his brother Abel in the book of Genesis but there weren't 12 brothers and there is nothing about him being turned black. the decendants of Africa come later in the book from Ham the son of Noah. Ham checks out Noah while he's naked and Noah curses his descendents. the Bible doesn't say anything about being black and I've never heard of any organized crusades against Christians by Muslims. It is believed that many Africans were believers in Christ and that the Ark of the Covenant will resides in east Africa. (I believe the capitla of Ethiopia.)\n\nI'm not relaly sure you're goal with this question but read the book of Genesis more thoroughly for your own first hand Biblical world view.

Jesus didn't think so,As he and the apostles were walking through a field of ripened wheat on the sabbath,they stripped some of the ripened grain from the heads,rolled it between their fingers to husk it,and popped it into their mouths.A group of religious men accosted them,and accused them of working on the sabbath.Jesus replied,"...sabbath was made for man,not man for the sabbath,".

The Mandé peoples settled the Sahel (including present-day Mali), and formed a succession of Sahelian kingdoms, including the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire, and the Songhai Empire. Timbuktu was a key city in these empires as an outpost for trans-Saharan trade and a center for scholarship. The Songhai Empire declined under a Moroccan invasion in 1591.\n\nTimbuktu had the first university - as such it was a place of learning.\n\nIn terms of its effect on Europe, in later years, Mali like the other West African countries were affected by the slave trade and later conquered by the European powers between 1880-1900.\n\nMali was invaded by France starting in 1880, which annexed it as an overseas department of France. The colony, which at times also included neighbouring countries, was known as French Sudan or the Sudanese Republic. In early 1959, the union of Mali and Senegal became the Mali Federation, which gained independence from France on June 20, 1960. Senegal withdrew from the Mali Federation after a few months. The Republic of Mali, under Modibo Keïta, withdrew from the French Community on September 22, 1960.
