ABSTRACT
It goes without say that an authentic African Christology emanates from a theology from below then it is augmented by a theology from above. It is a Christology that is pragmatic and has gumption and capacity to deal with the physical as well as the spiritual dynamics of the problems of Africans without disparaging the fact that most of the problem had a spiritual ramification or causation and that evil spirits were critical in the physical problems of Africans. As a result the Africans Christologies must of necessity view Jesus as the savior with power and redeemer from evil forces. He is also a mediator and intermediary with God. He is a healer. The truth is that none of this metaphors in the African worldview captures the reality of the African expectation of the reality of Jesus Christ as the supra Ancestor. Benezet Bujo an eminent African theologian in his Magnus opus African theology in its social context succinctly captured this truth when he assert that we a scribe to Jesus the tittles of Jesus of “Ancestor par Excellent “or “Proto-Ancestor” ,this image he asserts that is entry point and the launching pad of doing Africa Christology.

ABSTRACT
: Based on the assumption that religiosity and Christian values can affect employee satisfaction, this study examines how job satisfaction differs between secular and confessional hospitals. In addition, the study analyses whether there are differences in job satisfaction between Catholic and Protestant leadership in confessional hospitals.

The results show no significant difference in overall job satisfaction between secular and denominational hospitals. However, the participants are more satisfied with development opportunities in secular institutions. Furthermore, Catholic hospitals show a significantly higher overall job satisfaction than Protestant hospitals, especially with regard to organization and management.

ABSTRACT
This study examined the traditional wisdom of the peasant community, and its integration in the Islamic order. The researchers used a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods. The results stated that the traditional wisdom of the peasant community is in the form of the mopo'a huta ritual, which contains dayango dance and gives offerings to spirits. Some local communities opposed this practice along with the entry of Islam because it was not in line with Islamic values. To continue existing in the peasant community, this traditional wisdom in its implementation is integrated with the Islamic order. In practice, the integration is not yet complete, since the Islamic values can only be found in a few small parts. Those are to believe in the existence of the supernatural, encourage fear and hope to the supreme ruler of the God Almighty, charity to share food even in the tight conditions of the dry season, and humans must live in harmony with the universe.
