Encounters with marginalised spiritualties and religions can assist in the creation of a post-2030 agenda that recognises the limitations of existing ideas of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘progress’, the necessity of which is evidenced by our worsening climate and ecological crisis.The acknowledgement that religion plays an important role in the lives of the majority of the world’s population has led to increased partnerships between religious communities, humanitarian and development practitioners, and policy makers. At best, this has resulted in fruitful partnerships with those whose world views fit into predefined understandings of religion and development. At worst, it has led to the instrumentalisation of religious and spiritual leaders to implement western, individualistic, capitalist, anthropocentric ideas of development. Knowledge flows have remained unidirectional with the aforementioned partnerships yet to see the transformative potential of engaging with a greater diversity of religious and spiritual communities when imagining a post-2030 agenda.This paper draws on ethnographic engagement and interviews with the Iglesia Filipina Independiente and Lumad Indigenous people in the Philippines to highlight how learned ignorance, encounters and horizontal relationships can expand individual and collective imagination – deconstructing imperial imaginations and prioritising people and planetary flourishing above profit. It highlights the potential way in which diverse subaltern, abyssal and decolonial movements can be engaged to support a burgeoning of ecologies of knowledge capable of challenging hegemonic understandings of ‘progress’ and ‘development’, essential to the post-2030 debate.
与边缘化的精神和宗教的接触可以帮助制定2030年后议程,认识到现有“可持续发展”和“进步”观念的局限性,我们日益恶化的气候和生态危机证明了这一点。由于认识到宗教在世界大多数人口的生活中发挥着重要作用,宗教团体、人道主义和发展实践者以及政策制定者之间的伙伴关系得到加强。在最好的情况下,这导致与那些世界观符合预先确定的宗教和发展理解的人建立富有成效的伙伴关系。最坏的情况是,它导致宗教和精神领袖被用作工具,以实施西方的、个人主义的、资本主义的、以人类为中心的发展理念。知识流动仍然是单向的,在设想2030年后议程时,上述伙伴关系尚未看到与更多样化的宗教和精神社区接触的变革潜力。本文通过对菲律宾独立Iglesia philippine independent和Lumad土著人的民族志参与和访谈,强调了习得的无知、遭遇和横向关系如何能够扩展个人和集体的想象力——解构帝国的想象,优先考虑人和地球的繁荣,而不是利益。它强调了各种底层、深海和非殖民化运动可以参与的潜在方式,以支持知识生态的蓬勃发展,这些生态能够挑战对“进步”和“发展”的霸权理解,这对2030年后的辩论至关重要。

The COVID-19 crisis is affecting millions of lives and has wreaked some of its greatest havoc and suffering among the vulnerable and marginalised populations of the world, many of whom belong to religious and faith-based communities. In times of crisis and difficulty, religion and faith are a source of hope and strength for many. In this paper, we underscore the critical role and impact that some faith-based organisations have had in the pandemic crisis response and management of three countries: Brazil, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. In Brazil, Pastoral da Criança is leveraging their mobile phone application to fight mis-information about COVID-19. In Indonesia, Muhammadiyah launched a COVID-19 command centre to support treatment in hospitals, to disseminate guidelines for religious activities backed by science, and to provide water, sanitation and hygiene packages, food and financial support to the most vulnerable and neglected. In Sri Lanka, Sarvodaya is working closely with religious and community leaders on risk communication and community engagement messages and is also providing hygiene care and economic relief packages to the marginalised. We further discuss some of the challenges these organisations have faced and propose recommendations for greater engagement with this group of global public health actors to maximise their contributions and impact in the crisis management of and response to future infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics in low-resource settings.
2019冠状病毒病危机正在影响数百万人的生活,并给世界上的弱势和边缘化人群造成了最严重的破坏和痛苦,其中许多人属于宗教和信仰社区。在危机和困难时期,宗教和信仰是许多人希望和力量的源泉。在本文中,我们强调了一些宗教组织在巴西、印度尼西亚和斯里兰卡这三个国家的大流行病危机应对和管理中发挥的关键作用和影响。在巴西,牧区达克里安帕拉正在利用他们的手机应用程序来打击有关COVID-19的错误信息。在印度尼西亚,穆罕默德迪亚成立了一个COVID-19指挥中心,以支持医院治疗,传播有科学依据的宗教活动指南,并向最脆弱和被忽视的人群提供水、环境卫生和个人卫生一揽子服务、食品和财政支持。在斯里兰卡,Sarvodaya正在就风险沟通和社区参与信息与宗教和社区领导人密切合作,并向边缘化群体提供卫生保健和经济救济包。我们进一步讨论了这些组织面临的一些挑战,并提出了与这组全球公共卫生行为体更多接触的建议,以最大限度地发挥他们在危机管理和应对未来传染病爆发、流行病或资源匮乏环境中的流行病方面的贡献和影响。

This article introduces Religion & Development as a new transdisciplinary journal focusing on the nexus between religion and development. It outlines the motivation for establishing the new periodical along three central themes: the move towards sustainable development as dominant development paradigm; the reinvigoration of the post-development debate; and the emerging academic, policy and practice field of religion and development. The discussion proceeds to highlight the envisaged task of the journal as well as its transdisciplinary and collaborative span. Moreover, it delineates Religion & Development’s core editorial policies, before setting the scene for the contributions of the journal’s first issue.

Contesting the Dynamics of Secular Development: An Ontology of Trinitarian Well-Being as Christian Rationale for Human Well-Being 挑战世俗发展的动力:三位一体幸福的本体论作为基督教对人类幸福的基本原理
Pub Date : 2022-06-16 DOI: 10.30965/27507955-20220003

Christianity has been instrumental in fashioning the contemporary Western paradigm of humanitarian aid and development. However, as a secular agenda increasingly defines this space, the question of what difference a religious cosmology makes to Christian faith-based development organisations (FBDO s) becomes significant. While faith convictions initiated early humanitarian efforts, Christian FBDO s have arguably acquiesced to secular pragmatic rationales for their work, rather than allow theology to have explanatory and regulatory influence. In many ways, therefore, FBDO s are devoid of the influence of “faith”, or more specifically, the influence of a robust theological foundation. To address this deficit, a critique of the philosophical moorings of Western international development is mounted, with consideration given to nascent trajectories of an alternate Christian rationale and praxis. In particular, the paper argues that the ontological foundation for the dynamics of human well-being is divine well-being. Employing a Trinitarian relational ontology, the dynamic characteristic inherent to the actualisation of divine well-being is identified as a triune kenosis (self-giving). Such an ontology of divine well-being provides the context to articulate principles for actualising human well-being as a reiteration of the divine archetype. From such a perspective, the Trinitarian doctrine of God provides the pivotal foundation for a Christian cosmology necessary to articulate an alternative paradigm for sustainable development.
基督教在塑造当代西方人道主义援助和发展模式方面发挥了重要作用。然而,随着世俗议程越来越多地定义这一领域,宗教宇宙观对基督教信仰发展组织(FBDO)有何影响的问题变得重要起来。虽然信仰信仰开启了早期的人道主义努力,但基督教的FBDO可以说默许了他们工作的世俗实用主义原理,而不是允许神学具有解释性和规范性的影响。因此,在许多方面,FBDO缺乏“信仰”的影响,或者更具体地说,缺乏坚实的神学基础的影响。为了解决这一缺陷,对西方国际发展的哲学基础进行了批判,并考虑到基督教理论和实践的新生轨迹。特别地,本文认为人类幸福动态的本体论基础是神圣的幸福。采用三位一体的关系本体论,内在的动态特征,以实现神圣的福祉被确定为一个三位一体的克洛斯(自我给予)。这种神圣幸福的本体论为实现人类幸福提供了明确的原则,作为对神圣原型的重申。从这样一个角度来看,上帝的三位一体教义为基督教宇宙论提供了关键的基础,这是阐明可持续发展的另一种范式所必需的。

Freedom by Regulation: A Legal Assessment of the CRL Commission’s Report on the Commercialisation of Religion and Abuse of People’s Belief Systems 管制下的自由:对CRL委员会关于宗教商业化和滥用人民信仰制度的报告的法律评估

The South African Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities is one of the key institutions established by the Constitution of the country to strengthen its constitutional democracy. The Commission conducted investigations and released a report in 2017 related to suspicions that there are abuses of beliefs taking place in religious communities. The report was subjected to a number of challenges from academia, especially with regards to the constitutionality of some of the findings and recommendations of the Commission. In this article, it is argued that one of the contributing factors to the main shortcomings of the report emanates from a lack of nuance in the approach of the Commission. Considering the complex nature of religious beliefs, it is argued that the investigations by the CRL Rights Commission would have offered an opportunity for better conversation if the Commission had taken a human rights approach. In the main it is argued that a clear differentiation between the right to freedom of religion which vests on individuals, and the right of freedom of religious practice which vests on individuals in their capacity as members of religious communities, would have created a discourse that would better grapple with the complexity of ensuring maximum freedom of religion while creating safety for communal interests beyond specific beliefs.
南非促进和保护文化、宗教和语言社区权利委员会是该国《宪法》为加强其宪政民主而设立的关键机构之一。2017年,该委员会对宗教团体中存在滥用信仰的怀疑进行了调查,并发布了一份报告。该报告受到学术界的一些质疑,特别是关于委员会的一些调查结果和建议是否符合宪法。在这篇文章中,有人认为,造成报告主要缺点的因素之一是委员会的做法缺乏细微差别。考虑到宗教信仰的复杂性,有人认为,如果CRL权利委员会采取人权办法,该委员会的调查将提供一个更好的对话机会。主要的论点是,明确区分个人的宗教自由权利和个人作为宗教团体成员的宗教实践自由权利,将创造一种论述,能够更好地处理确保最大限度宗教自由的复杂性,同时为超越特定信仰的公共利益创造安全。

Religion and Sustainable Development in Africa: Neo-Pentecostal Economies in Perspective 非洲的宗教与可持续发展:新五旬节派经济透视
Pub Date : 2022-06-16 DOI: 10.30965/27507955-20220005

The secular approach to development has treated religion as anti-developmental. However, the history of how development was part of missionary activity, such as the provision of health and educational infrastructure in some African countries, has been widely acknowledged. In this paper, therefore, we contend that the marginalisation of religion in development discourse is a result of a faulty and fractured understanding of religion. We argue that sustainable development, if attainable in contemporary Africa, would require that organised and institutional religions in Africa as well as their religious cosmologies, convictions and orientations feature and remain integral to such processes. With reference to neo-Pentecostal economies in Africa, we intend to discuss why and how religion – religious cosmologies, ontologies and institutions – is indispensable in the sustainable development process in Africa. Specifically, keeping in focus the human dimensions of development, we intend to argue that the beliefs, teachings and activities of neo-Pentecostal churches on human salvation, progress and/or transformation, such as prosperity and wealth creation, which has seen them emerge on the socioeconomic scene, indicate the potentials of neo-Pentecostals in particular, and religion in general, to contribute immensely to sustainable development. This, however, is not to gloss over some of the challenges they potentially pose to sustainable development.
世俗的发展方法将宗教视为反发展的。然而,发展如何成为传教活动的一部分的历史,例如在一些非洲国家提供保健和教育基础设施,已得到广泛承认。因此,在本文中,我们认为宗教在发展话语中的边缘化是对宗教的错误和断裂理解的结果。我们认为,如果在当代非洲实现可持续发展,将需要非洲有组织和机构的宗教及其宗教宇宙论、信念和取向特征并保持这一进程的组成部分。关于非洲的新五旬节派经济,我们打算讨论宗教- -宗教宇宙论、本体论和机构- -为什么以及如何在非洲的可持续发展进程中不可或缺。具体地说,关注人类发展的维度,我们打算论证新五旬节派教会关于人类救赎、进步和/或转型的信仰、教义和活动,例如繁荣和财富创造,这些已经出现在社会经济场景中,表明了新五旬节派尤其是宗教的潜力,为可持续发展做出了巨大贡献。然而,这并不是要掩盖它们可能对可持续发展构成的一些挑战。

Religious Actors for Gender Equality – SDG 5: A Reflection on the Side by Side Faith Movement for Gender Justice 性别平等的宗教行动者-可持续发展目标5:对性别正义的并肩信仰运动的反思

The article reflects on the practical experience of the Side by Side Faith Movement for Gender Justice (SbS): faith actors often play a decisive role in the formation of values, concepts and beliefs that determine how women and men see themselves and each other and how they thus practise gender equality – or not. In both cases, faith actors are key partners in the transformation of ideas and practices towards achieving gender equality – SDG 5. SbS began in 2015 in response to a gradual dominance by restrictive faith actors’ voices in the international debate on gender. Faith-based development agencies and local faith actors already involved in pro-gender-equality practice began building national chapters of SbS to mobilise, organise and strategise our work and have it reflected in international advocacy – including for a change of policy towards improved engagement with religious actors. The article presents this experience in the practical realm of “Community”, whilst the progress made in that realm can only be understood with its intimate link to the realm of “Cosmology”: it is because of what we believe as faith actors that we do what we do. Therefore, interventions for change (Agenda 2030) must be rooted in people’s values, convictions and beliefs if the change is to be sustainable.
这篇文章反映了性别正义并肩信仰运动(SbS)的实践经验:信仰行为者往往在价值观、概念和信仰的形成中发挥决定性作用,这些价值观、概念和信仰决定了女性和男性如何看待自己和彼此,以及他们如何实践性别平等——或不实践性别平等。在这两种情况下,信仰行为者都是转变思想和实践以实现性别平等的关键合作伙伴——可持续发展目标5。SbS始于2015年,是为了回应在国际性别辩论中,限制性信仰行动者的声音逐渐占据主导地位。基于信仰的发展机构和已经参与支持性别平等实践的地方信仰行为者开始建立SbS的国家分会,以动员,组织和制定我们的工作战略,并将其反映在国际倡导中-包括改变政策以改善与宗教行为者的接触。这篇文章在“社区”的实践领域中呈现了这种经验,而在这个领域中取得的进展只能通过它与“宇宙学”领域的密切联系来理解:正是因为我们作为信仰行动者所相信的,我们才做了我们所做的。因此,变革干预措施(2030年议程)必须植根于人们的价值观、信念和信仰,才能实现可持续的变革。
