Prayers through caning: Inside churches where demons are ‘beaten out of believers’
Published By admin with Comments 0
The practicality of the old adage, spare the rod and spoil the child, is well understood by some pastors of African traditional religions in Nyanza and Western Kenya.
In an effort to put the faithful on the “right path”, as some like the Ka Mama Susanna Church in Siaya County have done, religious organisations have coined corporal punishment, where “possessed” believers are subjected to the cane to exorcise demons “as directed by the Holy Spirit”.
In Nyanza and parts of Western, other traditional religions have a ritual that forbids women in their menstrual cycle from approaching churches as it is considered dirty and evil.
