ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study examines virtues in Caprivi that has to be taken seriously by the church. This offers
a position to promote the religio-culture of the community within the growing Christian
churches. The call is to use story-telling in our liturgy to promote the cultural setting of
passing on the message. The way preaching is currently done does not have similarity to the
way the message of the gospel is to be told to the audience. The argument is therefore, that if
the church wants to be relevant to the Caprivian community it should use the existing
community virtues. The assignments will includes reference to Peter Paris’ book who
searches for an African and African American moral discourse. As the assignment will try to
examine these virtues there is a need for suggesting a contributing way forward, in which
Caprivian virtues can contribute to the virtues of the church.
