The Reckoning

on BBC Radio 4 FM

3: Back to Sione
In the last of three personal essays on the influence of western missionaries in Africa, Rev Colin Morris looks at the Africanisation of missions, and tells the extraordinary story of Alice Lenshina.
Her followers believed she rose from the dead, they built a cathedral in the bush to honour her, and in a final battle with the authorities, met bullets with pieces of paper called "passports to heaven". Producer Beverley McAinsh
