Can the Umunna community be used as a base for the establishment of small Christian communities in Igboland?\u003cbr\u003e In order to achieve a community-oriented Church from the Igbo perspective the author made an indepth study of community in Igbo context. By exploring Umunna traditional and natural groups found in Igboland for a better understanding and structuring of the Church, according to the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, this work tries to look at the question of how the Church should exist and function, using the peoples' cultural setup. The author proposes methods that will enable the parish to move away and to develop into a communion of communities. This study seeks to contribute something to a more authentically African Christianity, using a communicative social milieu that makes it possible for the  Church to become  and  to be  in Igboland -  Our Church .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Osuchukwu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631493010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631493014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Osuchukwu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459870929151,"sku":"9783631493014","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f99a14b-ca93-422c-8b54-3061971ecd7e.jpg?v=1777412256","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-umunna-and-peter-osuchukwu-9783631493014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
