SYNCRETISM AND DIALOGUE: EXPLORING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN SHAPING MORAL VALUES
View through CrossRef
In African societies marked by religious pluralism, Christian Religious Education (CRE) and African Traditional Religious (ATR) practices coexist, often blending through syncretism and fostering dialogue that shapes moral values. This paper examines how the interplay between CRE and ATR influences ethical development in educational contexts, promoting interfaith understanding and social cohesion. Through an in-depth analysis of historical syncretism, shared moral frameworks, and innovative pedagogical strategies, the study highlights the potential of integrating these traditions to create inclusive curricula that respect cultural diversity while advancing universal ethical principles. The paper proposes actionable approaches for educators to navigate religious pluralism, address tensions, and leverage syncretism for moral education. The findings underscore the transformative role of dialogue in fostering ethical growth, cultural integration, and mutual respect in African educational systems.
