摘要

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。

‘Middle-class’ Africans in Australia: choosing Hillsong as a global home
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.
