: Health Literacy is actually very important for every individual to have, because it relates to the ability to obtain health information in an effort to improve and maintain their health. In general, health literacy is said to be able to increase health knowledge and assist individuals or communities in making the right decisions about their health. Individuals should have access to all health information and have the ability to search for information relevant to their health situation.Understanding the existence of stunting prevention program implementing officers in implementing stunting prevention programs, what is actually being focused on is finding conformity of ideas between the Government and the community, regarding the concept of stunting in the same perception. So it is hoped that the stunting prevention program can be carried out jointly with the same perception. Therefore, realizing the problems that surround the implementing officers in the stunting prevention program, we need to examine the seriousness of the implementing officers of this stunting prevention program, in the context of the meaning and motives for carrying out tasks related to health literacy social actions in the stunting prevention program that they are currently carrying out . Thus we try to explore and understand the things that are hidden behind the social action. Because only through this social action, researchers can interpret, identify and clarify the motives of each individual's actions.The author focuses on the study of the meaning and orientation (motive) of social action on health literacy by the officers implementing the stunting prevention program in Kertobanyon Village, Geger District, Madiun Regency. This is so that the authors can find a qualitative analysis of the meaning of the health literacy actions of stunting prevention program officers as well as the process of health literacy actions occurring in carrying out their duties. action of health literacy rationality?

: The focus of this article was to explore the effects of the prosperity gospel on non-Pentecostal Churches in Mansa Township of the Luapula Province in Zambia. The study was significant in the sense that it contributed towards the contemporary discussion on the prosperity gospel and how it has affected non-Pentecostal churches not only in Luapula Province but the nation as a whole. Besides, it was hoped that the finding of the study would add to the body of knowledge and literature on the effects of the prosperity gospel in general. Theoretically underpinned by Marx Weber's (1930) essay on “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” with special focus on Calvin's doctrine, the study drew upon the data obtained through qualitative research strategy from 25 respondents. One-on-one interviews and Focus Group Discussions were conducted on clergymen, the youth, laymen and women from Neo-Pentecostal churches and Non-Pentecostal churches while data were analysed thematically. The findings of the study were that the prosperity gospel had effects both negative and positive on non-Pentecostal churches. Negatively, the gospel had made the non-Pentecostal churches compromise in the mode of worship, led to membership stealing, and made people become lazy and have dual membership. Positively, it contributed to the evolution of the Charismatic Renewal Groups. Finally, it was discovered that the prosperity gospel had much influence on the women and the youths causing them to move from their mainline churches into Pentecostalism, exacerbating the rise of Pentecostalism in Mansa Township.

: This article presents a critical examination of charismatic prophetic healing in a Zambian context today. The study built on documented scholarly work and the citizenry’s views based on their beliefs and experiences, to critically examine the charismatic prophetic healing currently taking place in Zambia. The study is a response to the need to provide an analysis of what is becoming a common problem of medically declared ill people abandoning medication in preference for prophetic healing miracles and suggest empirically-based solutions. Theoretically premised on the growth of Pentecostalism in Africa and its healing ministry, the article draws upon the data obtained through a hermeneutic qualitative research strategy from 25 respondents. One-on-one interviews were conducted with female and male respondents of varying ages drawn from Neo-Pentecostal churches and Non-Pentecostal churches, and the data were analysed thematically. Findings were that few people believed in, and supported the Charismatic miracle healing practices, while others who were in the majority condemned and did not subscribe to the practice; and that both categories unanimously acknowledged the presence of false prophets in society, who were believed to perform false healing miracles. An appropriate conclusion and recommendations were given

: The purpose of this article is to investigate the engagement of religious communities as partners in implementing Government policies in Kapiri-Mposhi Urban in Zambia. The study utilised the Juergensmeyer (2008) Theory to probe the interaction between religious agencies and government officials in policy implementations. Juergensmeyer is concerned about why religion is taking on a growing prominence in political matters in a growing despair of the state of society. To explore this, the study drew upon a sample of 22 informants purposively selected from the target population that included political party leaders in Kapiri-Mposhi Urban, Seventh Day Adventist Church leaders, the Clergy from the Roman Catholic Church, and representatives from the Jehovah’s Witness, United Church of Zambia, Pentecostal church, officials from Church Mother Bodies, Civic leaders and lay people. Open-ended and Semi-structured interview methods were applied to obtain the required primary data. Transcripts of the interviews were analysed thematically for respondents’ perceptions of the engagement of Religious Communities as partners in implementing Government policies.Themes of Partnership, Fixed and Stable Church-government Relationship, Engagement and Reliable unconditional church-state Allies emerged from the findings as describing the relationship that existed between religious communities and government agencies in the implementation of policies. The study recommended that the engagement of religious communities with the government should reflect inclusivism among religious traditions so as to avoid Inter-Religious Conflicts taking place elsewhere within Africa.
