Extractions: Liberia/Ghana/Côte d'Ivoire In 1911 Monsignor Jules Moury, vicar apostolic in charge of the Roman Catholic mission in the Ivory Coast, frankly despaired of the future of the church in the neglected French colony. The priests of the Missions Africaines de Lyon had arrived on the Gulf of Guinea in 1895 and after more than fifteen years with the help of brothers and sisters from two orders had expended a number of lives and much charity to build a chain of eight major stations along the eastern coast of the Ivory Coast. But they had yielded a slim harvest of only 2,000 baptized souls, and the tribal peoples along the coast were clearly not turning to the Light of Christ. By contrast, three years later in his annual report of 1914, Moury was almost lyrical: Space is lacking here for exposing the external means which Divine Providence has used for the accomplishment of His merciful designs. I must thus limit myself to exposing the effects. These effectsit's a whole people who, having destroyed its fetishes, invades our churches en masse, requesting Holy Baptism.[1]

Extractions: BAULE The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Ivory Coast. Three hundred years ago the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The tale of how they broke away from the Asante has been preserved in their oral traditions. During the Asante rise to power the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was in direct competition with the current Asante king. When the Asante prevailed, the queen led her people away to the land they now occupy. The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the palace she established and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king. The Baule are noted for their fine wooden sculpture, particularly for their ritual statuettes representing ghosts or spirits; these, as well as carved ceremonial masks are associated with the ancestor cult. Baule art is sophisticated and stylistically diverse. Baule have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess: masks (which, like their low-relief doors, seem to indicate Senufo influence) and human figures, apparently sometimes used as ancestor figures. The figures and human masks, the latter reported to be portraits used in commemorating the dead, are elegantwell polished, with elaborate hairdressings and scarification. More roughly finished are the gbekre figures, representing minor divinities in human form with animal heads. Masks are made also to represent the spirits of the bush: antelope, bush cow, elephant, monkey, and leopard. Boxes for the mouse oracle (in which sticks are disturbed by a live mouse, to give the augury) are unique to the Baule.

Religions : Predominantly Islam; Hindu, Christian and Buddhist minorities. Baptist convention : Southern Baptist representatives in Bangladesh work in cooperation with the Bangladesh Baptist Fellowship. In this densely populated country, less than 1 percent of the people claim to be Christians of any denomination. Recent highlights : Four couples and one single serve as Southern Baptist representatives in Bangladesh relating to the Bangladesh Baptist Fellowship. Churches have been experiencing growth and have been effectively reaching the communities around them. Theological Education by Extension (TEE) courses continue through the College of Christian Theology in Bangladesh. Many laypeople receive theological training through these courses. This college now has a bachelor of theology degree program which will allow in-country training on a higher level. Christian leadership also continues to develop through training seminars on church growth, the Bible, doctrine and chronological storying. The Jesus film also plays an important role in rural work.

Extractions: Musical instruments. Although created primarily for the production of sound, many musical instruments are equally valued for their visual appeal. Considered from a musicological point of view, the study of instruments is usually based on categorization by structure and/or method of sound production. This article, however, is mainly concerned with the visual aspects of musical instruments and the inherent implications for those who design or decorate them. Instruments are, of course, usually conceived as functional objects: they are made to be played. Their design must satisfy demands external to visual considerations, which may both significantly restrict and create opportunities for the designer. Undecorated instruments may have an undeniable beauty derived from their materials and acoustically determined shapes, but these are beyond the scope of this article, as are ornamental non-functional instruments, such as a violin made of Delft faience (?17th century; Amsterdam, Rijksmus.). There are more than 45,000 articles in The Grove Dictionary of Art . To access the rest of this article, including the bibliography
