This thesis compares the traditional Edo approach to pastoral care to the Western approach. The author presents the nature and philosophy of traditional Edo pastoral care and details the methods of approach using the worship of the healing rituals, divination, sacrifices, prayers, taboo observation, etc. Both bibliographical and survey methods were used to come to the conclusion that for pastoral care of African communities in America the Western method needs to be supplemented with the traditional methods such as those used in Pentecostal/charismatic churches in order to achieve wholistic success.
