LITURGY OF IJO ORUNMILA: A CASE STUDY OF RELIGIOUS ENRICHMENT BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND AFRICAN RELIGION
This work came from the researcher' personal experiences when visited Ijo Orunmila Lagos Island, on few occasions, to study the concept of morality in African religion. During the visit, there were remarkable similarities between the old Anglican Church liturgy and the liturgy of Orunmila worshippers. These similarities are not only structural but also functional. To make African religion relevant and appealing in modern society, which is cosmopolitan and more inclined toward modernity, many innovations have been introduced into the African religion. While religion had not lost its core values, identity, and peculiarity; however, it had evolved with time in a desperate attempt to compete favourably in the global religious space. Using both narrative and exploratory approaches as the researchers attempts to paint a vivid picture of how African religion is forced to adapt in order not to go into extinction. This study also examines the liturgy of indigenous worshippers located in Latin America, especially Brazil, who regularly stream live their religious services on social media, especially Facebook
