entry 22
page of reflection:156
The church has had its struggle of difficulties but the reason why
it has become stronger is for the reason they let anyone that wants to join, join.
The outcasts being one of those, they are people who are to take care of the shrines,
not allowed to be married and they live there whole life by the shrine and aren't
allowed to be free till the day they die. This must be a hard life to live being that
you aren't allowed to have contact with anyone else besides other outcasts, and
even when you are buried you are to be buried in the evil forest by other outcasts.
The outcast not only have to live like this but be filthy, they are recognized by their
long dirty tangled hair. The outcasts are in a way slaves for the reason that after them
if they have children their children are to be outcast and so forth after their children as
well. In other words their is no way for them to be free or break the cycle.
For this reason when they came to the church, to see if they
would be accepted the converts moved slighlty away from them. It wasn't until
Mr. Kiaga told them they where welcome to stay. No wonder their has been so
many in the village of Mbanta that have already converted to this new faith.
