Download or read book Pragmatic Faith and the Tanzanian Lutheran Church written by Amy Stambach and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pragmatic Faith and the Tanzanian Lutheran Church: Bishop Erasto N. Kweka’s Life and Work examines the operations and organization of the Tanzanian Lutheran church through the life and times of its longest serving diocesan bishop, Erasto N. Kweka. Amy Stambach and Aikande Kwayu develop the concept of pragmatic faith, belief-in-practice, to analyze the integration of religious experience, institutionalism, and doctrine or orthodoxy. Pragmatic faith breaks down the lingering binary found in anthropological studies of Christianity between transcendental experience and pragmatic struggle, and between religious revival as rupture or continuity. Stambach and Kwayu analyze the instrumental use of religion in practice, as well as its socially mobilized potential for revelation and transformation. A key analytic agenda of this book is to illuminate how a church that retains the organizational and ritual forms of a European mission church "became" culturally localized over time and yet, paradoxically, also existed pre-colonially. Accordingly, this book offers detailed and ethnographically-grounded perspective on how leaders and laypeople affiliated with the Tanzanian Lutheran church connect the church with other significant institutions, not only the state and the government, but also descent groups, extended families, self-help groups, and existing civic organizations, in order to live meaningfully.

Download or read book Religion Space and the Environment written by Sigurd Bergmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religions often nurture important skills that help believers locate themselves in the world. Religious perceptions, practices, emotions, and beliefs are closely interwoven with the environments from which they emerge. Sigurd Bergmann's driving emphasis here is to explore religion not in relation to, but as a part of the spatiality and movement within the environment from which it arises and is nurtured.Religion, Space, and the Environment emerges from the author's experiences in different places and continents over the past decade. At the book's heart lie the questions of how space, place, and religion amalgamate and how lived space and lived religion influence each other.Bergmann explores how religion and the memory of our past impact our lives in urban spaces; how the sacred geographies in Mayan and northeast Asian lands compare to modern eco-spirituality; and how human images and practices of moving in, with, and through the land are interwoven with the processes of colonization and sacralising, and the practices of power and visions of the sacred, among other topics.

Download or read book Contextual Theology written by Sigurd Bergmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances that history by exploring stories, images and discourses across a worldwide range of geographical, cultural and confessional contexts. Its twelve authors not only enrich our understanding of the significance of the contextual method, but also produce a new range of original ways of doing theology in contemporary situations. The authors discuss some prioritised thematic perspectives with an emphasis on liberating paths, and expand the ongoing discussion on the methodology of theology into new areas. Themes such as interreligious plurality, global capitalism, ecumenical liberation theology, eco-anxiety and the anthropocene, postcolonialism, gender, neo-pentecostalism, world theology, and reconciliation are examined in situated depth. Additionally, voices from Indigenous lands, Latin America, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe and North America enter into a dialogue on what it means to contextualise theology in an increasingly globalised and ever-changing world. Such a comprehensive discussion of new ways of thinking about and doing contextual theology will be of great use to scholars in Theology, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, Political Science, Gender Studies, Environmental Humanities, and Global Studies.

Download or read book Rev Daffa Jammo and I written by Kanatu Karorsa and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started during our coffee time as we talked, and this eventually became the short story of their lives. Since my father did not write about their personal life together, my siblings and close friends of our parents asked Mamma to write their story. This gave me the drive to write the journey of the match made in heaven--my parents--that led to the development of a community as well as the foundation of Protestant faith in Aira, Wollaga. I wanted to share this wonderful life of my parents with others who shared their views and values without leaving anything behind. The seventy years of their lives and work might take over five volumes, but I wanted to get the firsthand story as much as I could from her. After our father's death, my mother moved with us to the USA. I have had a wonderful time with her talking about their journey. I learned untold and powerful stories of their lives that made me stronger than ever before. They were blessed with the growth of Christian community and the fruit that was budding. My mother was fifteen when she married my father. They had nine children together. Six are alive, and three have gone to God. My mother is a loving, hardworking, determined, "Never settle for less," and go-getter type of person. My father was an observer, pastor, educator, writer, storyteller, poet, and a patient person. Thus, they taught their children to work hard and never give up on life, to value human life, know our rights, and fight for the voiceless no matter where we live. These are the patterns of life that they both lived, whether life was good or difficult. They valued and loved the Aira community that they built together. They accomplished their dreams and abundantly appreciated it. They both lived a public life, cherished and respected each other. God stood by both of them and carried them through their journey. This is the short story of their lives. I am thankful to God for giving my mother a bright mind that remembers things that had happened throughout their lives. I'm also grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to write about these wonderful people who shone in all our lives. 12
Download or read book Black Quare and Then to Where written by jennifer susanne leath and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black, Quare, and Then to Where jennifer susanne leath explores the relationship between Afrodiasporic theories of justice and Black sexual ethics through a womanist engagement with Maât the ancient Egyptian deity of justice and truth. Maât took into account the historical and cultural context of each human’s life, thus encompassing nuances of politics, race, gender, and sexuality. Arguing that Maât should serve as a foundation for reconfiguring Black sexual ethics, leath applies ancient Egyptian moral codes to quare ethics of the erotic, expanding what relationships and democratic practices might look like from a contemporary Maâtian perspective. She also draws on Pan-Africanism and examines the work of Alice Walker, E. Patrick Johnson, Cheikh Anta Diop, Sylvia Wynter, Sun Ra, and others. She shows that together, these thinkers and traditions inform and expand the possibilities of Maâtian justice with respect to Black sexual experiences. As a moral force, leath contends, Maât opens new possibilities for mapping ethical frameworks to understand, redefine, and imagine justices in the United States.
