In recent years, the question of the environment's future and humanity has received considerable critical attention due to ecological crises. Studies have consistently shown the need for human responsibility in protecting nature. Among the many scholarly works, there seems to be a renewed consensual recognition that fostering indigenous knowledge, practices, and spiritualities could facilitate the mitigation of ecological crises. African eco-spirituality, which begins with the understanding that there is a nexus between spiritual worldview and environmental degradation, recognizes that human life is inseparably bound with nature and the divine. This has led to the persistent strive of traditional Africans to respect and live in harmony with nature. Thus, scholars have suggested promoting African eco-spiritual practices. However, far too little attention has been paid to the heightened tension among African Christians that the promotion of these traditional practices will lead or has led to the re-emergence of paganism instead of the presupposed care of nature. This fear of fostering neo-paganism has constantly hampered the integration of African indigenous spiritualities and practices to mitigate the reoccurrence of ecological devastation. This paper aims to show obstacles to transforming interfaith dialogue between Christians and African traditional religious followers. It will also suggest values to deal with this tension and promote effective inter-faith dialogue that creates the transformation needed to care for nature through Religious education.
