Country Uganda
Abstract The study explored the resilience of divination practices among the Christian Bahima in Ankole, a case of Nyabushozi County, Kiruhura district.it also explored the forms of indigenous Bahima divination practices. The study also examined the Bahima Christians’ perspectives on divination practices. The study is qualitative in outlook employing descriptive and analytical approaches. The study used structured interviews to collect data. The study revealed that there are different divination practices among the Bahima, it also brought to light Bahima Christian’s perspectives on divination, it also revealed the salient reasons for the resilience of divination practices among the Bahima Christians. The study concluded that the Bahima divination practices have been resilient amidst interruptions from Christianity. This is mainly due to failure of Christianity to provide solution to their problems most especially spiritual attacks and also divination practices being innate. Those who accept Christianity they find it hard to avoid divination practices completely. The study found out that majority of the Bahima Christians are nicodemously involved in divination practices. While a few have opened and got involved in divination practices openly and publicly, very few of them have even denounced Christianity completely. The study also found out that the trend of those who are opening up and getting involved in divination practices openly is increasing steadily.
