There’s a story about a Jesuit missionary who brought the Christian faith to a certain tribe of the Masai people of Kenya. The Masai are a fiercely independent people. The missionary had to work hard to convince them they needed Christ in their lives. After a great many conversations with members of the tribe, the missionary finally decided a handful of individuals were ready for baptism. He requested an audience with the chief, to ask permission to hold a great feast, at which the sacrament would be administered. The chief was not happy with this plan.
