| | Amu, Ephraim Kwaku, Ghana, Presbyterian |
 | | Amu, whose life spanned almost the entire twentieth century, embodied most of the transitions of Christianity in Ghana in the period. |
 | | With the outbreak of World War I, the repatriation of German missionaries, and the closing of the Bremen Mission seminaries, Amu was trained as a teacher-catechist under Scottish Presbyterian missionaries at the Abetifi Seminary founded by the Basel Mission. |
 | | For Amu, the most important single influence was the life and career of James Emmanuel Kwegyir Aggrey of Anomabu, who believed that no first-rate educated African would want to be a carbon copy of a white man. No cultural jingoist, Amu neve broke away from the church, and his Christian self-consciousness remained consistent. |
