Accra

"Accra" offers a detailed historical account of the Benedictine mission in the Gold Coast during the early 20th century. Written by Dom Martin Collett, this work chronicles the growth and challenges of the Catholic Church within the capital city and its surrounding regions. The narrative provides insight into the cultural landscape of West Africa as it stood in 1928, documenting the interactions between European missionaries and the local populace.

Through a combination of geographical observation and religious reporting, the book serves as an important record of the social and spiritual development of the region. Collett's observations extend beyond mere religious statistics, touching upon the daily lives, customs, and environment of the people in the area. As a primary source from the colonial era, it captures a specific moment in the history of Ghana, reflecting the intersection of faith, education, and administration. This work remains a valuable resource for those interested in missiology, African history, and the global expansion of the Benedictine Order.
