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.

For time and eternity: feeling the spirit in the lives of LGBTQ+ Mormons 为了时间和永恒:感受LGBTQ+摩门教徒生活中的精神

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.

Integral ecology and ‘ecological conversion’ in the light of personalistic hermeneutics 整体生态学与人格解释学视野中的“生态转换”

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
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2022.2156566

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
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2023.2175880

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。

The ritual incorporation and cross-cultural communication in Camau, Vietnam: a case study of the Tianhou cult 越南卡马岛的仪式融合与跨文化交流——以天侯教为例
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2022.2140686

ABSTRACT Tianhou (天后) is a popular religious figure rooted in Fujian, China. Historically, she was continuously ‘standardised’ by late imperial China, making this character a standard symbol. In the late 17th century, Chinese immigrants propagated the Tianhou cult in Southern Vietnam, further developed, and made Tianhou the identity marker of their community. However, in Camau and other places of Southern Vietnam, this symbol became partially changed due to the process of localisation and cross-cultural exchange. The Chinese successfully incorporate Chinese Tianhou rituals with Vietnamese family rites (especially the worships of Kitchen God and ancestors) to gain both community consolidation and cross-ethnic integration. The illusionary incorporation effectively consolidates the ties between peoples and improves the position of the ethnic Chinese in the local society. This paper mainly applies the concept of ‘inventing tradition’ and Seligman’s and Weller’s (2012) viewpoint of the cultural interaction of notation, ritual and shared experience to generalise the nature and significance of liturgical transformation in the Tianhou cult among the ethnic Chinese in Camau. The study shows that cultural adaptation, as a means for survival and evolution, has been the goal of an endless struggle among the Chinese in contemporary Vietnam.
天侯是一个扎根于中国福建的民间宗教人物。从历史上看,她在帝制晚期的中国不断“标准化”,使这个字成为标准符号。17世纪后期,中国移民在越南南部传播了天侯崇拜,并进一步发展,使天侯成为他们社区的身份标志。然而,在卡马乌和越南南部的其他地方,由于本地化和跨文化交流的过程,这个符号部分改变了。中国人成功地将中国的天侯仪式与越南的家庭仪式(特别是对灶神和祖先的崇拜)结合起来,以获得社区巩固和跨民族融合。这种虚幻的合并有效地巩固了民族之间的联系,提高了华人在当地社会中的地位。本文主要运用“发明传统”的概念和塞利格曼和韦勒(2012)关于符号、仪式和共享经验的文化互动的观点来概括卡马华人天后崇拜中礼仪转化的性质和意义。研究表明,文化适应作为一种生存和进化的手段,一直是当代越南华人无休止斗争的目标。

The influence of religion on beliefs of stewardship, dominionship and controlling god towards pro-environmental support 宗教对管理、支配和控制神的信仰对亲环境支持的影响

ABSTRACT Studies on the relationship between religious activity and environmental issues are becoming increasingly significant in view of the enormous environmental difficulties confronting modern civilisation. The study of the relationship between religion and nature has produced contradictory results. Some studies found that religion had a significant influence on people’s attitude toward nature, whereas others found the opposite. The goal of this study is to see how the predictor (stewardship, dominion, and belief in a controlling God) mediated the link between religiosity and pro-environmental support. We conducted an online experiment (N = 280) on the Tangkhul Naga in Northeast India. The findings show that stewardship has a direct and substantial association with religiosity, but dominionship and belief in a controlling God do not. Tangkhul Nagas indicate that people or communities with stewardship tendencies are more inclined to support environmental causes. This paper contends that a strong inclination of stewardship and pro-environmental activism stems from their ancestor’s belief system and their way of life in which they embraced animism and worshipped nature prior to accepting Christianity, as evident from literature and folklores. This paper aims to ascertain that such a belief system is critical at a time when global societies are attempting to minimise the present environmental crisis.
鉴于现代文明面临的巨大环境困难,对宗教活动与环境问题之间关系的研究变得越来越重要。对宗教与自然关系的研究产生了矛盾的结果。一些研究发现,宗教对人们对待自然的态度有重大影响,而另一些研究则发现恰恰相反。这项研究的目的是观察预测因素(管理、统治和对控制上帝的信仰)如何介导宗教信仰和环保支持之间的联系。我们进行了一个在线实验(N = 280)。研究结果表明,管理与宗教信仰有着直接而实质的联系,但支配地位和对控制上帝的信仰却没有。Tangkhul Nagas表明,有管理倾向的人或社区更倾向于支持环境事业。本文认为,强烈的管理和环保行动主义倾向源于他们祖先的信仰体系和生活方式,在接受基督教之前,他们信奉万物有灵论,崇拜自然,这一点从文学和民间传说中可以明显看出。本文旨在确定,在全球社会试图将当前的环境危机降至最低的时候,这种信念体系至关重要。
