摘要

关于COVID-19大流行及其神学反应的研究越来越多。然而,关于COVID-19以及妇女(特别是非洲妇女)如何利用精神资源应对大流行的研究并不多。本文试图弥合这一差距。这篇文章采用了描述性和分析性的方法,认为许多非洲妇女比男性同行更关心社区的健康,而男性同行则更多地关注关于大流行病的争论。根据我们从基督使徒教会和尼日利亚精神与生命家庭圣经教会收集的人种学数据,这篇文章使用了Galen Watts的“灵性和为”理论来分析非洲基督教妇女如何利用她们的灵性和资源来应对大流行带来的生存挑战。它认为,非洲基督教妇女避开了与精神的话语功能相关的“灵性”论点,这与它的实际应用不相符,并采用了“灵性”,这与如何部署精神资源来(重新)解决人类繁荣的存在挑战产生共鸣。它认为,这与关注非洲妇女神学家圈子的神学非常一致。贡献:文章得出的结论是,大多数女性都强调“灵性”,因为它是由同情驱动的,并回应了对社区健康的生存追求。

An analysis of COVID-19 and spirituality among African Christian women
There has been increasing research into the COVID-19 pandemic and the theological responses to it. However, not much research has been done on the COVID-19 and how women, particularly in Africa, utilised spiritual resources to respond to the pandemic. This article sought to bridge this gap. The article utilised both descriptive and analytical methods, and argued that many African women were more concerned about the health of the community than their male counterparts who concentrated more on arguments about the pandemic. Gleaning from our ethnographic data carried out from the Christ Apostolic Church and the Spirit and Life Family Bible Church in Nigeria, the article used Galen Watts’ theory of ‘spirituality of and for’ to analyse how African Christian women deployed their spirituality and resources to address the existential challenges the pandemic posed. It argued that the African Christian women shunned the ‘spirituality of’ argument that relates with discursive functions of being spiritual, which does not correspond to its practical application, and adopted ‘spirituality for’ which resonates with how spiritual resources are deployed to (re)solve existential challenges towards human flourishing. This, it argued, aligns much with the theology of The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians.Contribution: The article concluded that most women were accentuated towards ‘spirituality for’ because it is compassion-driven and responds to the existential quest for the health of the community.
