The "body language" or gestures of praise, adoration, contemplation, ritual dance, and care of the neighbor are meaningful to the ethnic group; African Christians tune into these body motions to express the one Christian faith. In "Worship as Body Language", Father Uzukwu details how the patterns of the African ritual assemblies and sacred narratives have merged with Jewish, Gospel, and early Church traditions to create living Christian communities and liturgies.
Brings the African community's experience of the body and its gestures together with the Christian liturgy, since worship and social action are closely related.
