Links to Other Websites on Africa

There are now many websites dealing with Africa and African religions. I've listed a few that I have found helpful. Part 1 lists sites dealing specifically with African Religion. Part 2 lists sites with a focus on the contextualisation of Christianity in Africa. Part 3 lists sites run by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with an African focus. Part 4 lists sites having to do with news about Africa in general. Please note that I do not necessarily endorse opinions stated on websites other than my own.
