Reverend James Smith is Mr. Brown's successor to the church of Umuofia, after Mr. Brown is forced to leave for Europe due to ill health. Mr. Smith is a much more zealous preacher of Christianity, and is much more of a punishment/reward type of preacher. He openly dismisses the Igbo culture as barbaric.

Eventually he tries to protect Enoch in the church after Enoch kills an egwugwu. As a result, the tribe comes to the church. Despite Mr. Smith's protestations, the tribe burns the church down.
