SUMMARY
The missionary activities in Owerri town led to the introduction of a new religion into a place where there was an existence of African traditional religion. In the case of missionary activities in Owerri town, where there is already an existence of African traditional religion, the outcome of this was the amalgamation of some aspects of the two religions known as syncretism. Syncretism is described as the mixing of different religions, philosophies and ideas. It is clear that the missionary’s activities had a great influence in areas where African traditional religion was dominant and adapting to the new religion, the former converts even their descendants several generations after still carried aspects of the African traditional religion with them. There has therefore been a great deal of syncretic interaction between the two religions.
