Since the arrival of the white man, there has been many conflicts.  Some conflicts include the matter of the gods, twins, and having sacrifices.  Some white men welcomes the Ibo with open hearts and others with closed hearts.  Some were lenient and others very strict.  Because of there different attitudes, there are many different treatments of the native people.  Mr. Brown allowed weak Christians into the church.  By weak Christians I mean Christians who still have some the old beliefs from the Ibo religion.  Mr. Smith said you have to believe all of it in order to come into this church.  Mr. Brown came to help the Ibo find God, and he is willing to take his time with them realizing that it is a new concept for the Ibo people.  Mr. Brown is a yes or a no.  He is there because he "has to."  The British has many different points of views regarding to the Africans and their way of life.  One view is that the Africans are less important because of their skin color.  Another view is that hey are equal, because, if you are a Christian, everyone is equal in God's eyes.  They view the Ibo's way of life as being wrong; that can only be one right way to live, and that is Christian way to live.  Because of these conflicts, things start to fall apart.
