Christianity in Things Fall Apart

Christianity was a very significant part of the Umuofia tribe in the later parts of the book. Under the leadership of Mr. Brown the missionaries were more tolerant and did not force people to convert, but once james smith took over the mission was strict and very forceful. it takes a while for a significant amount of people in the tribe to convert. Fights brake out between the tribe and the missionaries and the church gets burned down. Christianity was a good influence under Mr. bown but after it turned into a very bad thing.
