This dissertation examines how one of Malawi's popular cultural customs, the traditional initiation rite of Jando, is and could be used as a pedagogical element in religious education. Jando is a technical term that stands for a rite of passage for the boys. What makes Jando so unique and educative is that it combines several elements of African traditional customs-mainly from the Bantu people-with some rituals from the Abrahamic religions. Although neither the Quran nor the Bible has sanctioned Jando in its current form, some adherents of the two Holy Books view Jando as an acceptable mark for the boys' transition from childhood to adulthood. Jando is more prevalent among the Yao Muslims than Christians of Malawi, specifically in the rural areas like where this research was conducted.
