It finally happened the clan and the converts became

angry towards each other and someone ended up dying. The clan was angry

because someone from the converts had killed a sacred python. The python

was considered to the people of Mbanta "our Father," it was allowed to go where

ever it pleased. Supposably the one who killed the python was Okoli the village

elders were furious, so they decided to outlaw the Christians by not allowing

them into the market to get water or chalk. The Christians became angry and

wanted to beat the villagers however Mr. Kiaga didn't permit it. The clan wasn't

sure of what they where going to do about the church, they decided they would

wait and leave it up to the gods. When the clan had heard the news that Okoli

had died they where happy because his death showed the gods they where still

able to fight their own battles. That is some what strange that they have so many

gods for objects even and animals. Well in every country and culture it is different

and has their on way of thinking what is right.
