The social functions of religion in a Charismatic church in Pretoria : a case studyTawengwa, Taurayi Tungamirayi 27 August 2013 (has links)
The objective of this case study is to explore the social functions performed by a Charismatic church in central Pretoria for its congregants and for its surrounding community. The growth of the Charismatic movement and the ‘wealth ministry’ in recent years and the subsequent notoriety of the ‘prosperity gospel,’ (especially popular within the Charismatic church movement) which encourages people to give tithes and offerings as a pre-requisite for material blessings are the fundamental motivators of the study. The study seeks to understand how the church, through its creed and sermons affects and shapes the social behaviour of its members, and its impact on socially relevant issues facing the surrounding community. The respondents are members of the church’s congregation of varying ages, nationalities and class. They were identified by making use of the snowball selection method. The key finding is that although the ‘wealth ministry’ and ‘prosperity gospel’ are generally associated with Charismatic churches, material gain is not the main emphasis of every Charismatic church’s ministry, and in fact, this Charismatic church offers its members and the community more non-material and intangible spiritual benefits. / Dissertation (MSocSci)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Sociology / unrestricted

Previous issue date: 2015-06-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study aims to present manifestos ritual relationship modes in the contexts of therapeutic agencies of afflictions, with the popular religiosity backdrop, and the specific focus of benzeção in popular Catholicism and religions of African origin. The construction of argumentative process tries to sketch a performative way of afflictions from flows of the surveyed interlocutors and inserting ways in the religious field specified above, the ritual plan for healing and solving everyday problems. The prospect of performance driven agency to analyze the afflictions have as reference the schema on the ritual function of transformation and transport system, prepared by Richard Schechner, which speaks to the formulation of Victor Turner about the corpus Ritual Ndembu - Affliction ritual / Initiation ritual. The discursive regimes or ritual experience called fetish ("feito") and eyed ("olhado") translate an elementary differentiation as to i) notion of body and person, ii) nature and etiology of affliction (etiological model) and iii) procedures for the treatment of affliction (therapeutic model). The transportation-transforming Richard Schechner system gives opportunity to identify two fundamental analysis tracks for engagement modes of subjects addressed in the context of therapeutic agency: i) A differentiation of conscious ways of relating with the action a "concentration gradient [in ] and control, ritual context of domain "and II) that experts healers, considered here, offer experiential rearrangement proposals from the reorganization or reclassification of experienced by subjects in a specific scenario proposed to them, for liturgies or public services dressings; ie, there is a strong link between liturgy and drama (-turgy), as predicted Victor Turner. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar modos de relacionamento ritual manifestos nos contextos de agenciamentos terapêuticos das aflições, tendo como pano de fundo a religiosidade popular, no recorte específico da benzeção no catolicismo popular e as religiões de matriz africana. A construção do processo dissertativo tenta esboçar um percurso performativo das aflições, tendo em vista os fluxos e maneiras de inserção no plano ritual relativo à cura e resolução dos problemas cotidianos, a partir do campo religioso especificado acima. A perspectiva da performance acionada para analisar o agenciamento das aflições tem como o referência o esquema sobre a função ritual do sistema Transformação e Transporte, elaborado por Richard Schechner, o qual dialoga com a formulação de Victor Turner sobre o corpus Ritual Ndembu - Ritual de Aflição/Ritual de Iniciação. Os regimes discursivos ou de experiência ritual feito e olhado traduzem uma diferenciação elementar quanto à i) noção de corpo e pessoa, ii) natureza e etiologia da aflição (modelo etiológico) e iii) aos procedimentos relativos ao tratamento da aflição (modelo terapêutico). O sistema transportação-transformação de Richard Schechner oportuniza identificar duas pistas de análise fundamentais para os modos de engajamento dos sujeitos abordados, no contexto dos agenciamentos terapêuticos: I) Uma diferenciação dos modos de relacionamento consciente com a ação, um ―gradiente de concentração [no] e controle, domínio do contexto ritual‖ e II) que os agentes especialistas da cura, considerados aqui, oferecem propostas de rearranjo experiencial a partir da reorganização ou reenquadramento do vivido pelos sujeitos num cenário específico que lhes é proposto, por liturgias ou serviços públicos curativos; ou seja, há um vínculo sólido entre liturgia e drama(turgia), como já previra Victor Turner.

The Word and the Spirit : epistemological issues in the faith, health and wealth movement in ZambiaChanda, Victor 01 1900 (has links)
The Faith Movement is a religious mosaic since it is a multi-layered phenomenon which is coloured by several themes. These themes represent several areas of emphasis like: Blessing and Blessings, Power to declare, Prophetic anointing, connecting with the anointing, dominion, success and increase, sowing the seeds, as well as other ideas which are still evolving.
The Word of Faith teachers have a very unique way of reading the Bible. They usually approach the text without consideration of its historical and cultural context. When they approach the biblical text they usually assign to it an independent existence cut off from its natural context. This in turn results in the reinterpretation of all the major doctrines of the Christian faith. Both God and human beings belong to the same class of “divine beings.” God and human beings it is believed operate under the rule of faith. It is argued that whatever God created, God did so by speaking words of faith (see Genesis 1:1-3). It is therefore argued that human beings similarly can create their own reality and destiny by speaking words of faith.Christology and Pneumatology of the Faith Movement assume a rather narrow outlook. It is believed that Jesus Christ died so that in addition to the forgiveness of sins He provided for all spiritual and material needs of the people. Therefore, no Christian should be poor or sick. The Holy Spirit on the other hand, is the anointing that enables believers to make it in life.
It must be pointed out that even though the Word of Faith ideas were exported to Africa mainly from the United States of America it has found a home in Africa. The concepts of blessings and curses have a corollary in African Religious Traditional thought. The role that Word of Faith preachers play is similar to the roles played by several religious experts in African Religious Thought. Ultimately, the Faith Movement is not based on sound theological and philosophical ground. It is based on unique reading of the Bible which is more esoteric than theological. More Gnostic than Christian. / Philosophy & Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Systematic Theology)

A historical study of the polity of the gay and lesbian ordination and/or installation, and same-gender marriage debates in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and its predecessor churchesVermaak, Roche Francois 04 July 2009 (has links)
Since the 1970s, the Presbyterian Church in the United States has dealt with its most divisive issue ever: same-gender relationships. Two polity debates have occurred simultaneously: 1) The ordination and/or installation of partnered gay and lesbian Christians as church officers, i.e. deacons, elders, and ministers of the Word and Sacrament; 2) The permissibility of ministers to perform and officers to participate in same-gender blessings and marriages, both liturgical and civil. This period is characterised by an absence of theological discussion and formulation of biblical and/or theological statements. Rather, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and its predecessor churches, the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. and Presbyterian Church in the U.S., all used polity to guide them. This is in line with the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, which decided in 1927 to solve controversial theological issues, not through theological discussion, but through polity. Since 1978, various polity processes have guided and shaped the two debates to form the current policies: 1) Presbyteries send overtures to General Assemblies, which, in turn issue “definitive guidance” statements and Authoritative Interpretations; 2) General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commissions (GAPJC) issue Authoritative Interpretations in both remedial and disciplinary cases, after complaints have moved through the ecclesiastical courts at Presbytery and/or synod level; 3) The 173 Presbyteries vote on amendments, approved by General Assemblies, to amend the Book of Order. The most notable amendment was the addition of G-6.0106b in 1997. This writer argues that G-6.0106b in the Book of Order, requiring “fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness,” is a form of subscription, and, therefore, contrary to the entire history of the Presbyterian Church, which has rejected all forms of subscriptionism since 1706. Subscription to five standards briefly existed from 1910-1925, and was rejected by the 1926 and 1927 General Assemblies of the PCUSA. One ordination standard is now elevated above all other standards and, since 1997, there have been three attempts to rid the Book of Order of this requirement. W-4.9001 and G-6.0106b in the Book of Order reflect the changes made in the Westminster Confession of Faith in the 1950s, allowing for the divorce and remarriage of officers; namely marriage is between a man and a woman. Yet, it is used to exclude partnered gay and lesbian Christians from ordination and/or installation, and from participating in same-gender liturgical marriages. The debates have created camps of conservatives, centrists, and liberals, which consistently threaten the peace, unity, and purity of the church. Thousands of evangelicals and conservatives, opposed to partnered gay and lesbian officers, have left the denomination for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Additionally, Special Organisations, which are not accountable to the denomination, have added to the tension and created intolerance of others’ views.

Välsignad förbannelse : En retorisk analys av bibliskt material i Black MetallyrikJonsäll, Hans January 2015 (has links)
This bachelor thesis offers a rhetorical analysis of the album Maranatha by Swedish Black Metal artist Funeral Mist. Its main focus is on the intertextuality between the song "Blessed Curse" and the biblical book Deuteronomy, especially Deut 28 from which it has sampled a large portion of text. In the analysis I uncover the similarities and differences between the two texts in order to explain how the biblical fragments constitute new meanings when rearranged and taken out of their original context. The analysis concludes with relating the material to its new context i.e. the album Maranatha and the Black Metal scene by explaining other intertexts and references to the Bible and discussing which genre is best suited to describe the album as a whole. The results of the study show that the biblical quotations in the lyrics convey radically different messages and meanings compared to their original content in Deut 28. This in turn acknowledge how dependent linguistic symbols are on their context. I finish off my thesis with a few reflections on the moral and ethical implications of this use of biblical material concerning the anti-christian agenda supported by members of the Black Metal scene and specifically how Daniel Rostén of Funeral Mist view his own work and agenda.
