Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les protestants ont fait d'immenses progrès en Haïti durant le XXè siècle. Mais cette croissance numérique ne s'est pas accompagnée d'une égale croissance spirituelle. L'œuvre protestante présente de grandes faiblesses dues, pour une large part, à une méthode d'évangélisation qui consiste à transplanter en Haïti les Eglises des pays d'origine de leurs fondateurs. Cela contribue à faire des Eglises haïtiennes des " copies conformes " de leurs Eglises mères.

Download or read book Evangelicals Catholics and Vodouyizan in Haiti written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the subject through many different theoretical frameworks and epistemological traditions, this book confronts the history of Haiti's three major practicing religious faiths: Vodou, Roman Catholicism, and Protestant Evangelicalism. Scholars, researchers, and faith practitioners have often depicted relations between these traditions as antagonistic, conflicting, unproductive, and lacking in mutual understanding. With the aim of exploring the possibility of nation building in Haiti and the benefits of interreligious collaboration, contributors to this book consider topics such as the obstacles to interfaith dialogue, religious conflict, interreligious dialogue in schools, race and identity, and religious pluralism. This book will be beneficial to scholars, practitioners, historians, and sociologists of religion, as well as the religious communities themselves in Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora.

Download or read book Revolutionary Change and Democratic Religion written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Revolutionary Change and Democratic Religion, Celucien Joseph provides a fresh and careful reexamination of Haiti's intellectual history by focusing on the ideas and writings of five prominent thinkers and public intellectuals: Toussaint Louverture, Joseph Antenor Firmin, Jacques Roumain, Dantes Bellegarde, and Jean Price-Mars. The book articulates a twofold argument. First of all, Haiti has produced a strong intellectual tradition from the revolutionary era to the postcolonial present, and that Haitian thought is not homogeneous and monolithic. Joseph puts forth the idea that the general interweaving themes of rhetoric, the race concept, race vindication, universal emancipation, religious pluralism, secular humanism, the particular and the universal, and cosmopolitanism are representative of Haiti's intellectual tradition. Secondly, the book also contends that Haitian intellectuals have produced a religious discourse in the twentieth century that could be phrased religious metissage. The religious ideas of these thinkers have been shaped by various forces, ideologies, religious traditions, and philosophical schools. In the same way, the religious experience of the Haitian people should be understood in terms of conflicting, heterodox, and pluralistic manifestations of religious piety, as the people in Haiti reacted to the crisis of slavery, Western colonialism and imperialism, and the arrogance of race in modernity in their striving to reposition themselves within the framework of universal and human metanarratives. The book departs from the dominant (contemporary) Vodou scholarship that is often characteristic of North American and Western studies on the religious life of the Haitian people and Haitian thinkers.

Download or read book Understanding Haitian Voodoo written by Lawyer Emmanuel Felix and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part textbook, part life-story, part theological exposé, Understanding Haitian Voodoo comes from a much-respected Haitian gentleman who writes as a lawyer, judge, and evangelist who cares deeply about his people and their bondage in Voodoo. "Voodoo is not simply a myth, toward which we can remain indifferent. It is not just popular culture that we should teach and practice in schools through dances and songs. The gods of Voodoo are not simply idols or harmless gods. They are real beings, intelligent beings, they lust after worship and are full of cruelty." With testimonies from Voodoo priests, followers, witch doctors and more, Understanding Haitian Voodoo is a deep observation of Haitian Voodoo through the eyes of Christian faith, molded in Haitian theology that is biblical, contemporary, relevant and transformational. From his identity as a Christian believer and as a Haitian, proud of his culture, traditions, language and customs, author Emmanuel Félix brings a remarkable contribution to a better understanding of the relationship of Voodoo to Haitian culture, to Christianity, to zombies, community life, religions and beliefs, identity and more. The final conclusion of this majestic work confirms all that man seeks is found in the Almighty God Jehovah, through Jesus Christ, and in Him alone, no matter a man's race, culture and beliefs. Whether you're planning to visit Haiti, seeking to pray more intelligently for the work of the Gospel or are simply looking to learn more about the Haitian people, this book is a must-read. Read this book prayerfully, with a Bible at your side and an eye on the realities of life in Haiti. Published by Radio 4VEH, The Evangelistic Voice of Haiti, serving God and the Haitian people through effective Christian broadcasting since 1950. Proceeds from the sale of Understanding Haitian Voodoo support the ministry of Radio 4VEH.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives you the basic information you need to know in order to make up your mind regarding the current situation in Haiti and what can be done about it. While it is clear that, other countries and International organizations have played a significant role for Haiti to be in this predicament, the only way out is for us to put away the victim mentality and take full responsibility in the rebuilding and the reforming of the institutions of the country. This idea where poverty, prosperity, peace and insecurity of any country is related to its institutions is shared by university professors such as Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson. For the institutional rebuilding and reforming of the country, the different elites (Intellectual, political, economic, religious, medical, scientific, sportive, cultural, etc.) have to do their parts without giving excuses and blaming each other.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art in the Lives of Immigrant Communities in the United States is the first book to provide a comprehensive and lively analysis of the contributions of artists from America's newest immigrant communities--Africa, the Middle East, China, India, Southeast Asia, Central America, and Mexico. Adding significantly to our understanding of both the arts and immigration, multidisciplinary scholars explore tensions that artists face in forging careers in a new world and navigating between their home communities and the larger society. They address the art forms that these modern settlers bring with them; show how poets, musicians, playwrights, and visual artists adapt traditional forms to new environments; and consider the ways in which the communities' young people integrate their own traditions and concerns into contemporary expression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre étudie les différents courants religieux (vaudou, catholicisme, protestantisme classique, pentecôtismes y compris renouveau charismatique, etc.) qui traversent la société haïtienne. L'étude est basée sur une enquête de terrain (centaines d'interviews de pasteurs, de fidèles et de témoins privilégiés et observation de très nombreux cultes dans tout le pays). Elle s'intègre dans une problématique où le religieux est vu dans son mode d'institution du politique. La profusion d'imaginaires religieux favorise un discours social centré sur la diabolisation et les " forces persécutives du mal ". Ce discours est une réponse au caractère incompréhensible de la déshumanisation produite par la misère absolue (accentuée ces cinquante et même dix dernières années). Il permet aussi aux élites de classes moyennes haïtiennes fascinées par cette déshumanisation de composer avec elle. Cette fascination se concrétise notamment dans une attraction/répulsion face à la criminalisation et à la lumpenprolétarisation (dispositifs, d'autodéfense, brigades de vigilance, etc.). Lorsque le mal politique se déclare, la syntaxe qu'il instaure en vient à classer les comportements en catégories impératives (soumission, révolte impuissante ou mise à profit de la déshumanisation). Certains comportements échappent à ce classement parce qu'ils ont inversé le discours social de la diabolisation. Portés par des mouvements religieux, ils ne fournissent pas, cependant, une alternative politique malgré les prétentions de leurs porte-parole mais peuvent obliger le politique à se déclarer.

Download or read book L glise d Ha ti l aube du troisi me mill naire written by Micial M. Nérestant and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " La préparation de l'An 2000 doit rendre particulièrement attentif à tout ce que l'Esprit dit à l'Eglise et aux Eglises " (Jean-Paul II, Le Jubilé de l'An 2000). Pour se préparer à le célébrer dans la joie, celle d'Haïti se devait de faire une pause pour vérifier ses racines, considérer ses forces et faiblesses et élaborer son devenir pastoral. C'est ce à quoi contribue ce nouvel ouvrage du Père Micial M. Nérestant, qui est une somme de la vie de cette Eglise depuis l'arrivée sur ses rivages des premiers missionnaires du Vieux Continent, jusqu'aux données les plus récentes, répertoriées diocèse par diocèse, paroisse par paroisse, avec la plus grande minutie. A partir de bases sociologiques sérieuses et de méditations profondes et faciles à suivre, le Père Nérestant donne un enseignement spirituel sûr et détaille les exigences de la nouvelle évangélisation, enjeu du 3e millénaire en Haïti comme dans toute l'Eglise universelle. Il consacre un chapitre entier spécial à la jeunesse, avenir de l'Eglise, un aux prêtres, un autre à la paroisse dans laquelle prêtres et laïcs ont chacun un ministère complémentaire distinct à accomplir : le mot hiérarchie, dans son sens étymologique (" ruissellement du sacré à partir d'une source "), trouve ici tout son sens. C'est un ouvrage facile à consulter, très didactique, et qui servira autant à la réflexion qu'à l'action pastorale : il suggérera des idées et des projets à bien d'autres qu'aux Haïtiens. La volonté de l'auteur, dans sa conclusion, est de " proposer d'autres démarches de foi tout en gardant intact notre dépôt révélé, la doctrine du Christ. " Puisse-t-il être lu et compris pour que se réalise le souhait qui clôturait son précédent livre : que l'Eglise s'affirme en son pays " comme une force de changement et de progrès ". En son pays comme en bien d'autres...
