The chapter analyses the practice of puberty rites in Southern Malawi and the response of the Catholic Church to the practice. The chapter notes that although the church response to puberty initiation rites is negative and also at most prohibitive, the practice continues among its congregants. The chapter concludes by arguing that the theology and the evangelisation strategy of the Church ought not to be one bent on destroying traditional African religion but fulfilling it and bringing all times and all religions to experience the unity of the saving act of God.
