Title: An African chief is baptized.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46076 AN AFRICAN CHIEF IS BAPTIZED MINNEAPOLIS -- Forty-two years after barring the rite to his sons, Abraham Abba, a village chief in the Central African Republic, is baptized a Christian by American Lutheran Church Missionary Lloyd Sand and Pastor Andre Garba, the first native to be ordained a Lutheran pastor in the Cameroon and the Central African Republic. The story of the old chief's baptism is detailed in the Oct. 1 issue of the Lutheran Standard by Dr. George H. Muedeking, editor of the Minneapolis-based American Lutheran Church publication. It begins 42 years ago when the first two Lutheran missionaries from the U.S. reached the village. The missionaries taught the chief and others to read and although many of the villagers embraced Christianity, the chief, a Muslim like his father and his children, did not. He even barred his sons from being baptized when they asked him permission. This Summer Chief Abba, well past 80, asked to be baptized and on July 4 the ceremony was performed in the village church. As a postscript to his article, Dr. Muedeking reported that Chief Abba died 20 days after his Baptism. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO Courtesy The Lutheran Standard (LS-MIN-9D-74-DS)

It begins 42 years ago when the first two Lutheran missionaries from the U.S. reached the village. The missionaries taught the chief and others to read and although many of the villagers embraced Christianity, the chief, a Muslim like his father and his children, did not. He even barred his sons from being baptized when they asked him permission. This Summer Chief Abba, well past 80, asked to be baptized and on July 4 the ceremony was performed in the village church. As a postscript to his article, Dr. Muedeking reported that Chief Abba died 20 days after his Baptism. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO Courtesy The Lutheran Standard (LS-MIN-9D-74-DS)
