Question 2

I would love to ask you a question. Do you have thoughts that you can share around the practice/tradition of Ulwaluko especially from a Christian perspective?

Are there any concerns or highlights of what one could read about or need to understand especially for discussion with friends/family/loved ones?

Any material you could refer me to in order to equip myself and improve my understanding of this subject.
