What kind of problems did he experience in terms of trying to convert African natives?
Well, I think his first, his first need of course was to learn the language. And so, he’d learn the language, and learn about the people. Now in this, in, he was extremely interested in both of these. In fact, in due course he was, he kind of wrote a grammar of the local language, which was published. But he was also very interested in their customs and beliefs. And so in these little journeys to, to see further afield and to look at where he might establish them, he was travelling with African people and was learning and meeting the tribes…And so he was learning about their culture…That was something [that] other missionaries had been less interested in. They had said, well this, this culture is worthless, it’s degraded, and so on. He was interested, although he appreciated it had, it had its problems and all the rest of it, but he was very interested in that. And so he developed quite a good knowledge of the peoples and what they believed, and how they behaved and why they behave
