From sacrifices in honour of Voodoo spirits in the west to a rock-hewn church in the highlands of northern Ethiopia, Pete explores the spiritual traditions of Africa. In a gruelling journey through the continent where all human life began, Pete hopes to get a glimpse of Man's first experience of the divine. Setting off to explore the spiritual traditions of Africa, he starts with the ancient practice of Voodoo in Benin. Confronted by ritual practices that contradict his own, deeply held religious convictions, he is forced to decide whether he should even take part. Next stop is Botswana, to meet the San Bushmen, inheritors of the earliest religious faith on Earth. In South Africa, Pete discovers surprising new developments in religious belief when he meets the members of the 12th Apostolic Church, and is stunned to find Afrikaners who believe the world is about to come to an end. In Ethiopia, he finds a group of one of the world's youngest religions--Rastafarians--who have set up a Utopian community in this harsh and unforgiving land. His journey reaches its emotional conclusion in the highlands of northern Ethiopia, where members of Africa's oldest Christian church have gathered in an ancient, rock-hewn church to pray, as they have prayed for almost 2,000 years.
