Abstract
This article provides a reflection on the dialogic imperative of my encounter with two interlocutors from African Traditional Religious persuasion. One of the encounters happened in my early childhood, while the second took place when I was in my late twenties. The full import and lessons from those encounters were not appropriately unpacked and appreciated until decades after the encounters.
