Ben Moore-Messengers of the word-
On page seven of the Ritual Process it disscusses how government employees and clerks carrying the messege of a higher God. They were the diciples of the word through their reports. The Ndembu tribe relyed on these reports for their religion in this high God. I believe that the fact that government employees had a say in what to believe in is insane. I believe if that were to happen today we would see religon go towards a more beneficial system for the government. The fact that this tribe was able to go on successfully is incredible and shows just how much difference there is between oral and nonoral religions. The belief steaming from a government employee still astonishes me.
