The belief of Christianity and the Sawi tribe were completely different. One of the main beliefs of Christianity is forgiving others. In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us to forgive seventy times seven. But the Sawi knew no forgiveness. They rather praised Judas for his betrayal. Instead of forgiving, they revenged using waness and chopped off the head of the ones who did them wrong. Christianity is also known as a religion of love. In the culture of Sawi, there were betrayal, waness, cannibalism, and other things that were far off from love. But as the Sawi people converted to Christians with help of Don Richardson, the culture started to change. The Sawi learned of forgiveness through the concept of peace child. As more Sawi convert to Christians, traditions like waness, treachery, and cannibalism disappear. “A tiny crack had opened in the base of the first pillar. The ascendancy of the second pillar had begun.”(pg197) The first pillar represents the culture of the Sawi and the second pillar represents the new culture that is about to begin. Don Richardson also made and taught them language so that they can read the bible as he translates. The barbarous traditions and cultures of the Sawi are starting to crack as the new culture of Christianity steps into their lives.
