ABSTRACTThe concept of religion in settler-colonial Australia is intricately intertwined with whiteness and Christianity and introduced during colonisation. Its influence is evident not only in its integration into Australian society but also in the exclusionary measures within religious communities. Due to Australia’s colonial history, ‘religion’ is often narrowly interpreted, with a conservative, moralistic lens influenced by Eurocentric perspectives. This interpretation tends to have an affective ‘sticky’ dimension that generates significant media discussion. This paper examines the prevalence of ‘empire religion’ in media discourses, and aims to uncover and critique the presence of coloniality in discussions about religion. By adopting a decolonial lens to explore Australian religions and spirituality, this paper argues that sticky media discourses on religion can be seen as reverbs of Australia’s ‘colonial wound’. These reverbs collectively serve as an active resistance and deconstruction of coloniality, urging for greater truth-telling, healing, and a more comprehensive understanding of Australian religions and spirituality.KEYWORDS: Media discoursesaffective discoursesdecolonisingrace and religion AcknowledgementsAn earlier draft of this manuscript was first presented at the Australian Association for the Study of Religion Conference in December 2021.

【摘要】澳大利亚移民殖民时期的宗教概念与白人和基督教有着错综复杂的关系,并在殖民时期被引入。它的影响不仅体现在融入澳大利亚社会上,而且体现在宗教团体内部的排斥措施上。由于澳大利亚的殖民历史,“宗教”经常被狭隘地解释,受到欧洲中心观点的影响,带有保守的、道德主义的视角。这种解释往往具有情感上的“粘性”维度,从而产生重要的媒体讨论。本文考察了媒体话语中“帝国宗教”的盛行,旨在揭示和批判宗教讨论中殖民主义的存在。通过采用非殖民化的镜头来探索澳大利亚的宗教和精神,本文认为,关于宗教的粘性媒体话语可以被视为澳大利亚“殖民伤口”的回响。这些回响共同成为对殖民主义的积极抵抗和解构,敦促人们更大程度地讲述真相、治愈创伤,并更全面地了解澳大利亚的宗教和精神。关键词:媒体话语;情感话语;非殖民化;;;;;感谢两位审稿人对本文的改进提出的意见。我还要感谢Steven Tomlins博士和Andrew Stapleton博士对本文早期草稿的校对和编辑提供的支持。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

‘We’re all gonna die anyway’: the eschatological tranquillity of Russian Baptists during the pandemic “我们无论如何都会死”:疫情期间俄罗斯浸礼会教徒的末世安宁

ABSTRACT The article discusses how the Russian Baptist community reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic and state-imposed restrictions. After initial fears of the unknown and unprecedented threat, most believers normalised the situation and positioned it in the context of their faith, Gospel message, and eschatological expectations. I analyse their eschatological tranquillity in the context of the Russian Baptist interpretative tradition of applying the Bible to everyday life, and moral potentialities that the pandemic and restrictions created for believers.

Ontological fusion of reality and fiction: implicitly religious communication through comic strips 现实与虚构的本体论融合:通过连环画进行含蓄的宗教交流

ABSTRACT Religious content may be communicated by means of a comic strip combining image- and text-based narration. The article focuses on the implicitly religious presentation of a completely profane image series through an analysis of a Czech comic strip about a club of five boys. As opposed to the interpretation of a comic strip as a fictive world with an ontological status of unrealised possibilities, this article prefers the category of a possible world realised through the reader’s experience. In this way, the distinctive world of comics provides a platform similar to the Platonic ideas or Jungian archetypes, linking the profane and sacred spheres. A completely non-religious comic strip created by an author indifferent to religion may thus be understood as a communication of the values and ideas of implicit religion.

Contemporary appearances of indigenous holies in Igboland: a study of Uboma people 伊博兰土著圣地的当代面貌——乌博马人研究

ABSTRACT With the invasion of Nigeria by the colonialists and introduction of foreign religions by their missionary counterparts over a hundred years ago, it would appear that the indigenous religious practices and holies, especially in Igboland have fallen Jericho-wise. Alas, this is far from the truth. A deep and careful study of Igboland reveals that notwithstanding the seeming massive conversion to the missionary religions and urbanisation, there still exist substantial vestages and elements of indigenous religious practices, holies and belief system of the people so converted. Evidences abound that the people regularly patronise indigenous worship centres, engaging in indigenous prayers while seeking solutions to the challenges that they confront on a daily basis. The paper makes a finding that the presence of the missionary religions, urbanisation and other agents of change have not provided the people with holistic answers or solutions to their problems, making the people resort to the patronage of indigenous worship and worship centres. The paper makes use of document analysis, interviews and observation as methods of data gathering, anchored on the change theory framework and adopting the qualitative/ethnographic approach in its data analysis.

Adopting African traditional principles of conflict resolution in a local church setting: a Yoruba cultural perspective 在当地教会环境中采用非洲传统的冲突解决原则:约鲁巴文化视角

ABSTRACT Although different Churches in sub-Saharan Africa enacted various models of conflict resolution which mostly are either biblically based or grounded on the denomination’s background, doctrines and beliefs system, some church conflicts are unable to respond to the biblically or denominational conflict resolution mechanisms owing to a lack of integrating African moral belief systems of conflict resolution. Thus, there is still the need for the incorporation of the African traditional principles of conflict resolution in resolving conflict in a local church. Therefore, this paper will explore these principles and how to apply them to church conflict resolution.

ABSTRACT Queer exclusion from the Mormon Plan of Salvation causes both this worldly and eternal theological concerns for many LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints. In this essay, we take up questions regarding the embodied nature of personal revelation within Mormonism to understand the ways that LGBTQ+ Mormons in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have resituated and reconfigured authority and divine truth. Drawing on archival records from the Mormon LGBTQ+ organisation, Affirmation, we argue that as LGBTQ+ Mormons searched to find their place in the Plan of Salvation they turned to theologies of the Spirit taught to them by the LDS Church. Our attention to the ways that LGBTQ+ Mormons have struggled to locate truth and (self-) affirmation within their embodied experiences offers further insight into the body as a central site for the production of knowledge and belief. Ultimately, we assert that LGBTQ+ Mormons have utilised these theologies of the Spirit to critique the covenantal hetero-captivity of the Plan of Salvation.

The World of Islam: ‘good’ religion, perennialism, and public culture in the 1970s 伊斯兰世界:20世纪70年代的“好”宗教、多年生主义和公共文化

ABSTRACT This article draws on conversations about liberal religion to explore how international events attempt to stage ‘good Islam’ for non-Muslim publics. It does this by focusing on an understudied event from post-empire Britain: the 1976 World of Islam Festival. Here, I focus on how Muslim and non-Muslim actors, ideas about universalism, perennialism and religion, and international politics organised the presentation of ‘good’ Islam in the 1970s. I attend to how liberal renderings of ‘good religion’ operate in a feedback loop with racist, xenophobic and specifically anti-Muslim sentiments in the years just before Muslim politics would take centre-stage in global imaginaries.

ABSTRACT The ecological question is currently one of the key issues in international public debate. This article attempts to present fundamental principles of a personalistic understanding of integral ecology with an emphasis put on the essence of a so-called ‘ecological conversion’. ‘ecological conversion’, however, cannot be perceived in a narrow sense only. Hence, the following paper is in accordance with a broad perspective that not only equates ‘ecological conversion’ with environmental ecology, by also sees the necessity of incorporating human ecology of both individual and social dimensions.

‘Middle-class’ Africans in Australia: choosing Hillsong as a global home 澳大利亚的“中产阶级”非洲人:选择Hillsong作为全球家园

ABSTRACT Much of the literature on Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity (Pc/C) and African diasporas in the Global North has focused upon African-Majority or -Initiated churches that are either branches of African churches or were created in the diaspora. This focus often frames the appeal of Pc/C to African migrants in terms of: a) its emphasis upon the ‘Prosperity Gospel’ offering a path not only to salvation, but also to earthly riches; b) its opportunities for achieving status among church hierarchies, which is attractive to socially marginalised groups, and; c) the practical assistance it provides to support settlement. However, African diasporas have diverse histories of migration, and settlement experiences. This article considers the appeal of Pc/C to a group of professional African migrants in Australia, who self-identify as ‘middle-class’. It argues that professional African migrants have consciously favoured the Australian megachurch Hillsong over Australia’s African-Initiated churches. They have done so in pursuit of a process of an imagined class-mobility, and as a result, their choice of church can be understood as largely strategic.
摘要许多关于五旬节魅力基督教(Pc/C)和全球北方非洲散居者的文献都集中在非洲多数派或发起的教会上,这些教会要么是非洲教会的分支,要么是在散居者中创建的。这一关注点通常从以下几个方面构成了Pc/C对非洲移民的吸引力:a)它强调“繁荣福音”,不仅提供了一条通往救赎的道路,而且还提供了通往世俗财富的道路;b) 其在教会等级制度中获得地位的机会,对社会边缘化群体具有吸引力;c) 它为支持和解提供的实际援助。然而,非洲侨民有着不同的移民历史和定居经历。本文考虑了Pc/C对澳大利亚一群自称“中产阶级”的职业非洲移民的吸引力。它认为,专业的非洲移民有意识地支持澳大利亚的大教堂Hillsong,而不是澳大利亚的非洲倡议教堂。他们这样做是为了追求一个想象中的阶级流动过程,因此,他们对教会的选择在很大程度上可以被理解为战略性的。

How Pentecostalism Emerged as a form of Resistance to Racial Oppression in the US 五旬节派如何在美国成为一种抵抗种族压迫的形式

ABSTRACT The history of resistance to black racial oppression in the US dates back at least to slavery. From abolition to the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther party, and the BlackLivesMatter Movement, each of these oppositions to racial injustice has been much discussed in the literature, but less often discussed is the role that Pentecostalism played in shaping black struggle for racial justice. This paper attempts to bridge this gap by showing how Pentecostalism in the US emerged as perhaps the first organised black protestant movement of the post bellum years. It traces its roots to African culture and argues that Pentecostalism embodied the positive ontology of black cultural expressionism and empowerment, which laid the foundation for the resistance movements that came later. This is the ontology of the spirit and performance from which blackness drew its resilience and resistance to racial oppression.
美国反抗黑人种族压迫的历史至少可以追溯到奴隶制时期。从废奴运动到民权运动,从黑豹党到黑人生命也重要运动,这些反对种族不公正的运动在文学作品中都有很多讨论,但很少有人讨论五旬节派在塑造黑人争取种族正义的斗争中所起的作用。本文试图通过展示美国五旬节派如何成为战后第一个有组织的黑人新教运动来弥合这一差距。它将其根源追溯到非洲文化,并认为五旬节派体现了黑人文化表现主义和赋权的积极本体论,为后来的抵抗运动奠定了基础。这是黑人精神和表现的本体论,黑人从中获得了对种族压迫的恢复和抵抗。
