This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity, Politics and the Afterlives of War in Ugandasheds critical light on the complex and unstable relationship between Christianity and politics, and peace and war. Drawing on long-running ethnographic fieldwork in Uganda's largest religious communities, it maps the tensions and ironies found in the Catholic and Anglican Churches in the wake of war between the Lord's Resistance Army and the Government of Uganda. It shows how churches' responses to the war were enabled by their embeddedness in local communities. Yet churches' embeddedness in structures of historical violence made their attempts to nurture peace liable to compound conflict. At the heart of the book is the Acholi concept of anyobanyoba, 'confusion', which depicts an experienced sense of both ambivalence and uncertainty, a state of mixed-up affairs within community and an essential aspect of politics in a country characterized by the threat of state violence. Foregrounding vulnerability, the book advocates 'confusion' as an epistemological and ethical device, and employs it to meditate on how religious believers, as well as researchers, can cultivate hope amid memories of suffering and on-going violence.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book ... focuses on the European invasion of the GLR. It analyses the factors that underlay the invasion, the demarcation process that followed and the indigenous people’s responses to it. What is worth noting is that most of the anti-colonial struggles in the GLR were anchored in religion. Reference is made to the Maji Maji Rebellion, the Nyabingi Movement, the Lamogi Movement, Dini Ya Misambwa and the different independent churches that arose in the GLR during colonialism. Even the more secular Mau Mau Movement integrated religious cultural practices in its bondings through oath taking. The most pronounced was the Nyabingi Movement, which covered almost the whole region – Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Uganda ... This work investigates why [the groups] resisted, the nature of their resistance and the reasons why they were defeated. It explains why and how the European colonisation of this region created material conditions and seeds for thesubsequent recurrent conflicts in the GLR."--Page 6.

Download or read book Religion and Politics in Africa written by Jeffrey Haynes and published by Zed Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of religion on the political process has come to the fore in recent years in a wide variety of societies. Yet the significant and varied ways in which the rapidly changing religious context has impacted on the politics of modern Africa is still a relatively neglected field. This book, which is designed to fill this gap in the teaching of African Politics, assembles and analyses an enormous amount of hitherto scattered material on the interaction between politics and religious groups in the post-independence, but also colonial, eras. Dr Haynes focuses on all three of the main organised religious traditions in Africa - Christian, Islamic and 'syncretistic' movements, including the rise of various fundamentalist groups. His thematic and comparative approach embraces all parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, and seeks to locate the role of religion in the African political process in its historical, social and international contexts. In doing so, he illuminates what has often been a profoundly important factor affecting the stability of governments, evolution of civil society and even the development trajectory of many African countries. The author's combination of theoretical context, rich empirical information and thoughtful analysis makes this book ideal as a text for students, as well as commanding a wider interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Christian faith and the political centre have been intertwined from the outset in the Ugandan Christian story. The chapters take examples from this story where the churches have cooperated with, been co-opted by and confronted the political centre. Chapters include studies on: Festo Kivengere's preaching on reconciliation into post-Amin Uganda (Alfred Olwa) ; The growing role of the Pentecostal churches in the political arena (Paddy Musana) ; Religious rituals to reintegrate girl child-soldiers in Northern Uganda (Christine Mbabazi Mpyangu) ; The relationship between the NRM Government and the churches (Ofwono-Opondo). The themes which emerge from these chapters are the foundations upon which a political theology for Uganda must be built, which is outlined in the concluding chapter (David Zac Niringiye). The volume makes available in Uganda significant pioneering research by primarily Ugandan scholars on a key theme in the ongoing mission of the Ugandan churches." --
Download or read book Reflections on the Muslim Leadership Question in Uganda written by George W. Kanyeihamba and published by Fountain Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and other foreign religions have faced an uphill task in establishing themselves in Uganda. Initially competing with the established traditional African religions, in due course they turned against each other in their search for converts. Islam was not immune from sectarianism, and soon after the religiously neutral NRM came to power in Uganda they faced serious problems emanating from divisions in the Muslim leadership. A Government sponsored conference and general assembly were held to resolve matters, but the initiative failed at the eleventh hour. Here the chief government representative in those meetings reflects on the events and why the initiative failed on the brink of success.
Download or read book The Impact of Pentecostal Christian Leaders on Political Participation in Mbale City Uganda written by Levi Wafula and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2023 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, , course: Bible and Theology, language: English, abstract: This dissertation delves into the emerging prominence of Pentecostalism and its influence on political engagement in Mbale City, Uganda. It seeks to understand the theological and biblical underpinnings that guide the political perspectives of Pentecostal Christian leaders in the region. Additionally, it aims to assess how these leaders impact the political involvement of their congregants, explore the relationship between Pentecostalism and various political ideologies, identify the challenges faced by Pentecostal leaders when engaging in politics, and offer recommendations to enhance their role in promoting responsible political participation. To address these objectives, a mixed-methods approach was employed. A survey of 75 residents of Mbale City provided quantitative data on political behaviors and perceptions related to Pentecostal leaders. Complementing this, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 Pentecostal bishops and overseers to gain deeper insights into their beliefs and practices. The data collected from both sources were analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions. The study's findings underscore the substantial link between Pentecostal Christian leaders and political participation in Mbale City. It reveals how these leaders effectively mobilize their congregants, instill a sense of civic responsibility, and influence their political attitudes. Furthermore, the research uncovers potential challenges and opportunities arising from the intersection of religion and politics in the city. In conclusion, this research sheds light on the intricate relationship between religion and politics, particularly within the context of Pentecostalism in Uganda. It affirms the significant influence of Pentecostal Christian leaders on political engagement in Mbale City, advocating for informed and inclusive approaches to democratic governance and community development. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge the study's limitations and recommend further research and strategies to foster responsible political behavior in a religiously diverse society.
