The great varieties of native African oral traditions have no consciousness of hell or purgatory, no written scripture or prophets. They share a share a common belief in a Supreme Being and a devout connection with ancestry. We know and hold the Truth expressed in this native African Prayer for Peace…
Almighty God, the Great
Thumb we cannot evade to
tie any knot;
the Roaring Thunder that splits
mighty trees:
the all-seeing Lord up on high who sees
even the footprints of an antelope on a
rock mass here on Earth.
You are the one who does
not hesitate to respond to our call.
You are the cornerstone of peace.
