Christianity in Awka: faith or syncretism
In the course of this research work, I observed some challenges in Awka Christianity: lack of commitment of Awka Christians in Jesus Christ; the practice of vain syncretism by those who profess Christianity, Chris-paganism, believe in sorcery, witchcraft, marine spirits, sun and moon gods; animal deities etcetera. The ignorance of scriptural truths and theology has also contributed to the resurgence of witchcraft in different dimension–related beliefs and practices among Christians. Pastors and evangelists are more prone to issue superficial condemnations than to give systematic teaching on philosophical, religious and theological beliefs and values in Awka context. The work recommended that Christian faith in Awka should be total christocentric and sola scriptura. Methods of approach are historical and descriptive methods with the review of related extant material.
