1.3.3 Traditional Society This is the third
term I would like to clarify for the progresss of this work.
In sociology, traditional society refers to a society characterized by
an orientation to the past, not the future, with a predominant role for
custom and habit.6 The term “traditional†refers to those societies that
are small scale, are derived from indigenous and often ancient cultural
practices.
1.4 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
The method or research for
this study is the radical, practical approach. I would rely on
quantitative and quantitative sources of social research such as
surveys, interviews with some lay and ordained members of the Anglican
church of Nigeria, analysis of documents from school libraries,
institutes, online research ( E- library), journals, text books and
research papers. This course is illustrated with a wide range of
hypothetical and real-life case studies.
1.5 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
OF THE STUDY
This work would focus on Christianity in Nnewi, Anambra
State. An attempt will be made to bring out the methods the Christian
missionaries (Anglicans) used that led to the establishment and growth
of Christianity in Nnewi. The scope so indeterminate and the
interested parties amongst potential readers almost infinitely varied.7
Limitation to indepth stories/histories from
materials.
