Mr. Brown wasn't like most of the other missionaries, he was

calm and listened. He became friends with some of the important people of Umuomia

he learned many things from them especially of their beliefs. Brown became friends

with Akunna one of the great men of the clan. He would visit him frequently one

tried to convert the other to their beliefs, neither succeeded. Brown would

explain that to Akunna that their is only one god you are suppose to serve who

is all powerful. What is funny is that Akunna explains that they do have one god

like this as well his name is Chukwu. Even though none of the two men had any

luck in converting the other they did learn a lot from each other, and they realized

that they weren't so different. However, Mr. Brown stayed firm in his teachings

through his firmness he attracted people to his church, perhaps by speaking

with Akunna he learned things that helped him out.
