Please Father, speak on or at least suggest some resources to help me as an African woman. Many blacks are turning to ancient african religions & i want to know if i could practice them with Orthodoxy or not
You cannot practice the pagan religions of the African continent in conjunction with the Orthodox faith. However the Orthodox faith is universal and has a beautiful and storied history in Africa. Many of our Saints are African. Look into people like St. Moses the Ethiopian. A great many resources, brotherhoods and sisterhoods exist for and by African and African descended people. May God bless you
