dc.description.abstractThe study is concerned with the role of indigenous agents in the spread of Christianity, I.e. Lokoja, Okene, Ogori. Magongo and Kabba. The Ijumu, Yagha. as well as the Bassa-Nge areas are excluded from the study. Whi1e the role of the white missionaries have been reasonably covered by scholars the activities of local evangelists remain 1arge1v unexplored. The pioneering efforts of the 19th century white - 1ed christian organisations are set as an introducion to the emergence of local agents who generalIy rose to prominence from about 1910 onwards in our area of study They made their impact in several fields, especially, in the health and teaching services, as skilled professions and in preaching. After the Second World War (1939-1945) the agents championed the pressure for advancement of their communities, using methods that were different from those of the pre-war years, In the final analysis, these early local agents, mostly barely literate, were to he replaced in the seventies by a new elite that were better educated but who were fundamentally a product, if not an off-shoot of the earlier older elite . While the process of indigenization progressed rapidly, Christianity finds itself in various christian practices and forms, engaged in a continuing contest with entrenched traditional beliefs and practices. Significantly, some families of the earlier agents. settlen_US
