Riassunto

Excerpt from The Growth of the Church in Buganda: An Attempt at Understanding

I am deeply grateful to the many Africans who gave generously of their time and hospitality to help me towards understanding. To select only a few names would be invidious, but I cannot forbear to mention one, Brusoni Wandera, who for four months put himself unreservedly at my disposal and offered me an unstinting friendship.

Dr A. I. Richards, then of the East African Institute of Social Re search, and now at Newnham College, Cambridge, gave me the benefit of her wide experience, and later read through my manuscript and made a number of stimulating suggestions. Dr Lloyd A. F allers, who was then the head of the East African Institute of Social Research, gave both guidance and encouragement, and Mr Anthony Low of Makerere College shared most generously his expert knowledge of the history of Uganda. I am indebted to Mr John Goldthorpe, also of Makerere College, for permitting me to be present at a number of student seminars. My thanks are specially due to the Bishop of Uganda, the Rt. Rev. Leslie Brown, and to the Diocesan Council, for their invitation to the International Missionary Council to conduct the study, in the first instance, and for the welcome and encouragement they extended to me personally. Miss Ferrier, the librarian, and Miss Belcher, the archivist, at the headquarters of the Church Missionary Society, responded to my request for help with a readiness and patience which gave an added pleasure to that part of the work.

I particularly wish to thank Mr H. B. Thomas for his most valuable help. He read through my first draft, correcting and polishing with meticulous care, and finally offered to see my manuscript through the press, in my own absence from Great Britain. For such unsolicited kindness from one who has already filled his retirement with more activity than most younger men would care to undertake there are no words that can adequately express my gratitude.
