<p>102 ASC Abstracts / Journal of Religion in Africa 38 (2008) 101-108 Togarasei, Lovemore Th e ‘birth’ of a prophet : Andrew Wutawunashe’s break from the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe ( formerly Dutch Reformed Church) In: Exchange : bulletin de littérature des églises du Tiers Monde, ISSN 0166-2740: (2006), vol. 35, no. 2, p. 215-225. A bstract : Schisms have characterized Christianity from the time of its inception. Th is paper examines one such schismatic movement, the Family of God (FOG), currently one of the most successful Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe. Th e founder of this church, Andrew Wutawun- ashe, broke from the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe to start FOG. Tracing the religious life of Wutawunashe from his birth in 1953 to his call as a prophet in 1982, the paper looks at how his activism in the Youth Department of the church could have acted as a seedbed for Pentecostalism and discusses the possible reasons that led Wutawunashe to break from the Reformed Church. Th e paper concludes that chief among these was his claim to prophetic inspiration. Th e paper is based on interviews with relatives of Wutawunashe and church members and on interviews held with Wutawunashe by S. Sola (1996). Notes, ref., sum.

A bstract : How does the Church in Africa bear witness to the spirit of God and conduct its mission with integrity in the contextual reality of HIV/AIDS, refugee crisis, poverty, corruption and abuse of human rights? And what should be done to enhance integrity of mission in the light of the Gospel and to bear witness to the Spirit of God in a context full of challenges? Th ese ques- tions are addressed in this paper. It presents the following suggestions for a possible way forward: promoting peacebuilding and reconciliation; providing visionary leadership and disciplining the nations; integrity in leadership; integrity of mission and the promotion of dialogue in a pluralis- tic context; inclusion of the marginalized.

A bstract : In the Tanzanian country town of Rwangwa, a bitter confrontation has developed between Sufi Muslims and Islamist reformers. Th e Islamists draw on Middle Eastern inspiration, but the conflict arises equally from the local, regional and national contexts, and is cultural as well as religious and political. Situated in an economically and educationally disadvantaged region, access to land and trade forms the focus of conflicts between the young (Islamists) and the older (Sufis). Islamists criticize the closeness of Sufis to government, which they accuse of discrimination against Muslims. Th e main objects of debate, though, are ritual and scripture. Th e Islamists reject Sufi burial rites and appeal to their superior knowledge of the Quran to justify their stance, reinforcing and profiting from the ongoing transition from orality to literacy. While mainstream Muslim observers condemn the Islamists’ aggressive posturing and opposi- tion to authority, they accept their claim to superior learning and to possession of an Islamic alternative to Western notions of progress.

<p>ASC Abstracts / Journal of Religion in Africa 38 (2008) 101-108 103 K eywords : Tanzania, Islamic movements, generation conflicts, rural areas Taringa, Nisbert How environmental is African traditional religion? In: Exchange : bulletin de littérature des églises du Tiers Monde, ISSN 0166-2740: (2006), vol. 35, no. 2, p. 191-214. A bstract : Th e author examines the extent of the claims that the traditional religion of the Shona of Zimbabwe is environmentally friendly. At the theoretical level, assuming a romantic view of Shona attitudes to nature, it is possible to conclude that Shona traditional religion is necessarily environmentally friendly. Th e beliefs in ancestral spirits (‘midzimu’), panvitalism, kinship, taboo and totems have the potential to bear testimony to this. However, the present author shows that Shona attitudes to nature are in fact discriminative and ambivalent. He argues that the ecological attitude of traditional African religion is based more on fear or respect of ancestral spirits than on respect for nature itself. As a result, Shona attitudes to nature need to be reexamined if Shona tra- ditional religion is to reemerge as a stronger environmental force in the global village. After intro- ductory remarks the author presents background information on the Shona, focusing on their sociopolitical organization, world view and religion. An examination of Shona attitudes to nature focusing on the land, animals, and plant life and water bodies follows. Next, the author reflects on the ethical consequences of Shona attitudes to nature. In the last part he considers the limits of the romantic view of Shona attitudes to nature. Notes, ref., sum.

A bstract : Relations between Christian churches and the State in Cameroon in the past two decades have been marked by intense conflicts. Th e churches’ pronouncements and positions on major national issues—such as reforms aimed at institutionalizing democratic governance, human rights, and the rule of law—have increasingly been at variance with those of the State. Mainline churches, notably the Roman Catholic Church and the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, have been at the forefront of efforts to see a truly democratic society take root in Cameroon. Liberation theology, in form and content, has become a pervasive force in the churches’ desire to realize human rights and social justice. Has liberation theology come to liberate Cameroonians? And to what extent and with what means have the churches engaged in these endeavours? What are some of the underlying challenges inherent in the process of participating in the making of a ‘new’ Cameroon? Th ese are the questions addressed in this essay. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

A bstract : Th e Jesuit mission in Ethiopia (1556-1632) was an episode of great importance in the history of Ethiopia and the Portuguese expansion. However, despite the number of studies ded- icated to it, a bibliography was still missing. Th is paper fills the gap. It discusses the historiogra- phy of the mission, outlines the main themes treated and provides a list of secondary literature including 297 titles.

A bstract : Th is paper examines the evolution of the ‘ak’aat k’aal’ movement, a religious move- ment which originated during the period of the ‘gebbar’ system, in the context of indigenous forms of domination among the Aari people of southwestern Ethiopia. Th e populations of southern Ethiopia were conquered and incorporated into the Ethiopian empire during the late 19th century. Th e ‘gebbar’ areas refer to those regions in which a quasi-serfdom system was introduced. Due to the social psychological stress induced by ‘gebbar’ serfdom, the Aari were not able to practise their traditional religion effectively and had to abandon it. Although the ‘ak’aat k’aal’ movement was short-lived, it enabled the Aari to cope with imperial Ethiopian domination and the new ‘gebbar’ political economy. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

International human rights, religious pluralism and the future of chieftaincy in Ghana In: Exchange : bulletin de littérature des églises du Tiers Monde, ISSN 0166-2740: (2006), vol. 35, no. 4, p. 360-382. A bstract : A revolutionary development that resulted from Africa’s experience of colonialism was the emergence of the nation-State made up of previously separate ethnic States. By the end of the colonial period the rulers of these ethnic States—the chiefs—had lost most of their real political and judicial powers to the political leaders of the new nation-States. But in spite of the loss of effective political power the chiefs continued to wield moral influence over members of their ethnic groups. Th e limited reach of the nation-State in the postcolonial era has also meant a dependence on the chiefs for aspects of local governance. Th is, for example, is the case in Ghana. However, in the modern context of religious pluralism the intimate bond between the chiefs and the traditional religion exacerbates tension in situations of conflict between people’s loyalty to the traditional State and their religious commitment. In some cases, chiefs invoke customary laws in attempts to enforce sanctions against individuals who refuse to observe certain customary practices for religious reasons. But this has implications for the human rights of citi- zens. Th is article discusses the implications of this situation for the future of chieftaincy as well as prospects for the protection of the human rights of citizens who for religious reasons choose to stay away from certain communal customary practices.

A bstract : À la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’esprit kimbanguiste soufflait sur Léopold- ville et le Bas-Congo (actuelle République démocratique du Congo).

<p>ASC Abstracts / Journal of Religion in Africa 38 (2008) 101-108 105 comme l’œuvre de Simon Kimbangu, et son chef passait pour la réincarnation de ce dernier. À l’époque, les Congolais voyaient dans l’action de l’Armée du Salut une lutte contre les effets de la sorcellerie. Et c’est dans la mouvance salutiste que naquit vers juillet 1939 la ‘Mission des Noirs’ dont le fondateur est Simon Mpadi, ancien auxiliaire de la ‘American Baptist Missionary Society’ et ancien sergent de l’Armée du Salut. Plus de 150 villages demandèrent, dans une lettre adressée au gouverneur général Pierre Ryckmans en septembre 1939, l’autorisation de fonder officiellement cette Église, mais se heurtèrent à un refus de l’administration coloniale. La ‘Mis- sion des Noirs’ fut dissoute et Mpadi arrêté et finalement exilé à Élisabethville (Province du Katanga). En s’appuyant sur des document d’archives, entre autres, l’article analyse l’attitude du gouvernement colonial et des missions européennes à l’égard de ce réveil prophétique kongo de 1934 jusqu’en 1940.

A bstract : Salvation is a central theme in African Indigenous Churches. Th is paper critically examines the idea of salvation in the Old Testament dispensation and relates it to salvation in the African Indigenous Churches in Nigeria, including the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, the Church of the Lord (‘Aladura’), and the Celestial Church of Christ. It pays attention to similari- ties and differences between the two institutions and explores to what extent the African Indig- enous Churches have been influenced by ideas in the Old Testament scripture in their concept of salvation.

Decolonizing Saint Paul’s teaching on women’s position in the Church In: African journal of biblical studies: (2005), vol. 22, no. 2, p. 3-13. A bstract : Biblical phrases of Saint Paul seem to discriminate against women, prohibiting them from taking any authoritative positions in the Church. Th e present author argues, however, that these writings should not be applied universally or globally. On the contrary, in present-day Africa, women play significant roles in the Church.

Taking the Hindu diaspora within the Portuguese- speaking space as a case study, this article shows how the women’s expressive traditions consti- tuted a contra-ethnicizing logic which helped to consolidate the position of the ethnic minority of traders formed by the Hindu-Gujarati population settled in Mozambique during the colonial period. In the two main postcolonial migratory contexts, Portugal and England, these traditions continue to provide emerging generations with significant resources for the redefinition of rela- tions between “self ” and “other” and for the renegotiation of intra- or inter-ethnic power dynam- ics.

Inclusion of the “other” into the fold : early mission churches and society in Makweteng, Potchefstroomn, South Africa In: Anthropology Southern Africa, ISSN 0258-0144: (2005), vol. 28, no. 1/2, p. 39-48. A bstract : In this article observations on the early history of two mission churches in Makweteng, Potchefstroom, South Africa, are made. Th e informal views of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches, their formal policies and their responses to both segregation and apartheid are described and compared. At the practical level leaders in these two churches were required to negotiate between their own principles and prejudices and the social and political environment in which they worked. Questions are asked regarding the consistency of the initial approaches of the two missionary endeavours and the practical choices they made in fully accepting the “other”. Indications of a change of views and the contribution these missions made to social change in South Africa are also discussed. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

A bstract : Au cours d’une période de dix-huit ans, comprise entre l’année 1891 qui marque l’introduction du christianisme au Kasaï et l’année 1909, date de la réconciliation entre le chef Kalamba Mukenge et les agents de l’État indépendant du Congo (l’actuelle République démocratique du Congo), le christianisme était principalement une religion de marginaux Luba Lubilanji. Les guerres de Kasongo Cinyama, les razzias de Ngongo Leteta et celles des Cokwe, qui se sont déroulées chez les Luba Lubilanji vers la fin du XIX ème siècle, l’action de l’administration coloniale en faveur des populations Luba Lubilanji globalement considérées marginales et les premières méthodes d’évangélisation appliquées par les missionnaires scheutistes (le rachat des esclaves, les fermes- chapelles, les chapelles-écoles, les écoles) ainsi que les maladies épidémiologiques expliquent l’adhésion massive de ces populations au christianisme. Malgré l’attitude providentielle du grand chef Luluwa Kalamba Mukenge en faveur du christianisme catholique au Kasaï – il avait sollicité auprès des autorités de l’EIC l’introduction du christianisme dans son territoire –, son mécontentement à cause de sa marginalisation par ces mêmes autorités dans ses rapports avec les autres chefs Luluwa fut à la base de la révolte des Bena Luluwa contre l’EIC en 1891, et le rejet du christianisme par les popu- lations Luluwa, jusqu’au début du XX ème siècle.

A bstract : Th is article examines the political and social implications of witchcraft accusations in apartheid and postapartheid South Africa. It focuses on the use of witchcraft accusations as an instrument of power to settle local disputes in the 1980s, particularly by young ANC members, the ‘comrades’. From their point of view the elimination of witches was part of the Black Move- ment ideology and it would bring emancipation and eradicate all evil. Th e 1994 elections which ended the apartheid regime had a direct impact on local perceptions of witchcraft. However, witchcraft beliefs are part of South Africa’s cultural heritage and will therefore not be easily eradicated. Notes, ref., sum. in French and Italian.

A bstract : Th e topic of myth has rarely emerged in Hausa studies due to the lack of conven- tional mythic material. Th is article looks at how myth emerges not in Hausa literature, but in the spirit possession ceremony known as ‘bori’. Unlike traditional myths, ‘bori’ is a performed event accompanied by musicians who sing diverse and creative praise-epithets and songs to and about the spirits, and the spirit possession ceremony possesses only a marginally standard form. Envel- oped by ritual, the performance itself is unique in each particular manifestation, with only vaguely predictable elements confining its realization. It is here, within the performance, guided by tradition, an aetiological origin, and a stable pantheon of spirits, that we find myth commu- nicating itself, mediating between a host of binary opposites, emerging and then disappearing with the close of each performance.

A bstract : Cet article constitue la suite de la première partie parue en 2003 dans la même revue (vol. 24). L’auteur brosse un tableau de la situation des écoles au Congo belge dans le diocèse de Basankusu (dans le Nord de l’actuelle République démocratique du Congo) de 1960 jusqu’au départ pour l’Europe des derniers missionnaires-enseignants de la Sociét de Mill Hill, en 1981. Si ce fut un temps d’appréhension et d’incertitudes, ces années virent aussi d’importantes réalisa- tions dans l’enseignement. Les premiers “Cycles d’orientation” (CO) sont créés en 1962, début de l’enseignement secondaire dans le diocèse. En 1964, du fait de la rébellion, toutes les missions sauf celles près de Basankusu-ville sont fermées, et certaines sont saccagées par les rebelles. Après la défaite des rebelles, les écoles rouvrent grâce aux moyens fournis par le diocèse. Le petit séminaire de Bonkita est transformé en collège en 1972, et l’École normale de Bokata se développe en acadé- mie pédagogique. À la suite de la nationalisation de l’enseignement en 1973, les missionnaires- enseignants quittent l’un après l’autre (le dernier le fait en 1981) l’enseignement. En annexe, des traductions de textes de livres scolaires en langues locales (lingombe et lomongo) sont mises en regard pour comparaison. Notes, réf, rés. en français et en anglais.

A bstract : Th e ‘bagre’ myth is part of the oral narratives of the Dagaaba of northwestern Ghana. Th e author wants to find out what this traditional myth has to say about women and their place in Dagaaba society. Th rough a content analysis of the text of the myth, the author suggests that, in the myth, contrary to the patriarchal Dagaaba society, the woman is the heroine who dares to venture into the unknown world and gain new knowledge.

A bstract : Death has become so omnipresent in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, that the labour of loss and mourning has ceased to be meaningful. Invaded by an ever increasing amount of dead that cannot be put to rest, the society of the living has stopped mourning them. Kinshasa is marked by the rise of Christian fundamentalism as propagated by a great number of Pentecostal churches and other ‘miracle’ churches of spiritual awakening. Th is new strong wave of flourishing faith is set against the backdrop of a socioeconomic and political context marked by deep crisis, war, and material conditions of hardship, hunger, lack, and pov- erty. Without any doubt, the harsh living conditions that prevail throughout the country have contributed to the rapid spread of these new church movements. Th e author looks at the changed place of death in this urban world and analyses the apocalyptic time scale that the churches have introduced and that pervades daily life in Kinshasa. Th e reintroduction of temporality, and thus of death, in contemporary Kinshasa is of a very specific eschatological nature and takes its point of departure in the Bible, and more particularly in the Book of Revelation.
