When the missionaries came they had bibles & the Africans had the land When the Africans opened their eyes after praying The missionaries had the land & the Africans had the bibles.

A trade worth making I reckon :)
Mick, I am so impressed, you're photography is truly fantastic, you have some amazing shots. It has been really nice to be able to be witness to you're journey, (although I'm seethingly jealous of course), what an adventure! I hope you have an enjoyable New Years and that the next year is as fulfilling as the last :)
Cherie.

The quote is pretty general and being here in Africa I see many peoples lives greatly enriched through different religions. I think the quote is also talking about the incidence of colonialism and that sometimes missionaries came with religion but some had ideas about taking wealth.
I'm reading a great book at the moment called Africa: A biography, which covers this subject. Maybe I'll know more soon......
