Abstract/Overview
Formal Catholic worship is known as celebration of the Lord’s Supper, popularly known as The Mass. This liturgy has three parts; the Introductory Rights, the Liturgy of the word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This study focused on inculturation of the first phase of the third part known as the offertory. All the local Catholic Churches in Kenya have made efforts to inculturate her worship, including the Catholic Diocese of Kisii in Kenya. This study set out to examine how the Gusii concept of religious offering has been inculturated in liturgical worship in the Catholic Diocese of Kisii. This Diocese comprises of Catholics residing in the geographic territory of Kisii and Nyamira Counties. This study hopes to enrich the discourse on liturgical theology and to inform liturgical policy in the Catholic Diocese of Kisii. It will also add new knowledge to the existing literature on inculturation. This study is qualitative in nature, and used the Cultural Dimensions Theory, by Geert Hofstede, to find out how different cultural dimensions impact on the thinking of the faithful, and how it forms their response to information.
