Goddesses in African religions are spirits that affect humans and demand reverence from them. They are also embodiments of ideas that African people have about women, their powers and their roles in society. This study focused on Mame Wata, a goddess in Half Assini, an Nzema-speaking coastal community in western Ghana. It sought to resolve a paradox, that is, the fact that, the goddess is at the center of a Pentecostalist tradition even though traditional Pentecostalism in Ghana views her as an agent of the devil. The study involved fieldwork in this community of the goddess's female worshippers led by Agyimah, a charismatic man, and an agent of the goddess. The study interpreted the goddess as a post-colonial invented symbol personifying both pre-colonial and emerging ideas about female power. Findings from the study also show that through Mame Wata the followers celebrate the spirituality of the female.

The author seeks to analyse the relationships between religion and culture in Latin America, especially in Brazil, highlighting the fact that the different religions enjoy diverse relationships with culture in a single location. He also addresses the fact that religions interpret culture in different ways and these interpretations help define their conversion strategies and how best to confront opposing religions. For the sake of discussion, the author considers, hypothetically, a not-so-distant future in which Latin America becomes predominantly evangelical, and asks what will happen to Latin America`s supposed Catholic culture if the evangelical religions do indeed take over.

Angola, jeje e ketu: Memrias e identidades em casas e naes de candomblé na Regio Metropolitana da Grande Vitria (ES), que o tema desta dissertao, requer adentrar em anlises de categorias nativas do povo de santo, e, em seguida, passar a questes tericas sobre esses temas. Na cidade de Serra encontram-se as quatro casas de santo onde a pesquisa de campo foi realizada com trs iyalorixs e um babalorix, que dividem suas memrias e experincias religiosas compondo um exerccio terico sobre a histria e a formao do candomblé no Esprito Santo. Nesse estado, que no referncia dessa religio, a mesma encontra-se em ascenso. A preocupao dos integrantes das comunidades de terreiros transformar parte das tradies orais em produo escrita. Tendo em vista os processos polticos de reconhecimento legal da diversidade cultural, o debate se deu em torno de hibridizao e mltiplas formas de identidade. O universo encantador e mgico do candomblé composto pelos toques dos atabaques, danas rituais e f em foras da natureza. Os filhos da dispora africana trazidos para o Brasil eram de vrias regies da frica, o que nos permite entender a diversidade cultural que marca esses grupos. Em funo do sincretismo entre as prprias religies de matriz africana e delas com o catolicismo e as doutrinas espiritualistas, essas religies encontram-se de norte a sul do pas. Este encontro de crenas e rituais to evidente que j no dizemos religies africanas e sim religies afro-brasileiras. O candomblé, desde o seu surgimento, vem sendo criado e recriado pela transmisso de suas tradies e ritos. A tradio oral nas comunidades de terreiro um dos elementos demarcadores da construo da sua identidade, a partir de uma organizao interna e do aprendizado hierarquicamente transmitido pelos depositrios do saber, seguindo uma ordem de senioridade de iniciao, os antigos so detentores dos saberes e segredos. Por ser uma religio inicitica, o aprendizado ocorre permanentemente, em especial o da lngua ritual, onde o exerccio e o contato levam a transmisso cultural. O povo de santo reconstri uma ligao com uma comunidade imaginada que remonta a frica e desenvolve relaes de parentesco ficcional entre os membros das comunidades de terreiro e forma uma famlia de santo e de ax.

The authors give the first description of evangelicalism in Switzerland using representative data. It is shown that evangelicalism can be conceived of as a "milieu" which is characterized by certain structural and cultural traits, boundaries and high internal communication. The relative success of the evangelical milieu compared to other religious milieus is explained by its remarkable ability to retain its own numerous offspring, while on the other hand providing a "religious product" that is also attractive to people without an evangelical familial background. Les auteurs utilisent des donnes reprsentatives afin de faire, pour la premire fois, une description de l'vanglisme en Suisse. Ils montrent qu'on peut parler de l'vanglisme comme d'un "milieu'' qui se caractrise par certains attributs structurels et culturels, des frontires et une communication interne leve. Le succs relatif du milieu vanglique compar d'autres milieux s'explique par sa capacit remarquable retenir les enfants de ses membres dans le mouvement tout en offrant un "produit religieux'' attractif aux personnes sans arrire-fond vanglique.

La thmatique des dsaffiliations religieuses du milieu vanglique est le parent pauvre des tudes faites jusqu' ce jour sur ce courant religieux. En effet, l'accent est gnralement mis sur son dveloppement en termes d'affiliation faisant alors l'impasse sur les pertes qu'il connat pourtant. De plus, la question des dsaffiliations religieuses est un angle d'approche sociologique particulirement fcond pour tudier les groupes religieux en permettant, entre autres, de cerner plus en profondeur leur identit, les mcanismes qui favorisent leur prennisation, mais aussi leur rapport la socit environnante. Dans ce travail, qui s'inscrit en sociologie des religions et qui puise autant dans la littrature sur les dsaffiliations religieuses que dans celle des dsengagements militants, l'analyse s'est focalise sur les processus de dsengagement au niveau microsociologique : quels sont les motifs qui prsident les dsaffiliations, comment se droulent ces dernires, quels effets ont-elles sur l'individu en termes identitaires et comment sont-elles perues par ceux qui restent ? Ces principales questions ont permis de (re] questionner des lments constitutifs de l'engagement vanglique : les processus de socialisation ; la structuration des liens intragroupe dvelopps par le milieu et son rapport l'extrieur ; son systme normatif; son systme de reprsentation du monde et la dmarche religieuse qu'il valorise, qui sont autant d'aspects qui jouent un rle dans les processus de dsaffiliation. Plus prcisment, ces lments agissent en tant que mcanismes de rtention tant sociaux que psychologiques compliquant ainsi le dsengagement. Cette thse s'est construite sur dix-sept entretiens semi directifs mens auprs de personnes ayant grandi pour la plupart dans une famille vanglique et qui ont dcid, un jour, de ne plus frquenter ce milieu religieux. Pour largir la perspective analytique et pour permettre de comprendre et d'expliquer les processus de dsaffiliation en lien avec le groupe quitt, un ensemble de septante-huit entretiens semi directifs et de mille cent questionnaires standardiss de membres d'Eglises vangliques a t mobilis. Partant des logiques du dsengagement, cette thse affine les connaissances actuelles sur l'vanglisme dans le contexte de la modernit, grce l'clairage indit qu'elle lui donne. Elle dveloppe galement le champ des connaissances sur les dsaffiliations religieuses en lui fournissant un nouvel exemple de cas tout en lui offrant une autre faon de thoriser les sorties de groupes religieux qui valorisent un engagement de type militant. - Religious disaffiliations from the evangelical milieu have not yet been investigated. Indeed, former studies have usually focused on the development of the milieu by looking at conversions. However, it appears that the study of the disaffiliation processes may not only give results on the reasons and experiences of those disaffiliating, but also shed light on the attributes and the development of the evangelical milieu itself. The main goal of this thesis was to fill this gap in the literature. From a microsociological approach, this thesis sought to answer the following central question : Why, how and with what effects do individuals leave the evangelical milieu and how is this phenomenon perceived, interpreted and managed by the individuals who leave the evangelical community and by the members of the evangelical milieu? These questions enabled me to investigate the functioning of the evangelical milieu : its processes of socialization ; internal and external relationships ; normative system ; belief system or its religious engagement. This set of aspects can influence and complicate the processes of disaffiliation. The analysis of religious disaffiliation was based on seventeen qualitative interviews with former members of evangelical chrurches who decided, one day, not to attend an evangelical church anymore and who question more or less strongly the system of evangelical thought . Seventy-eight qualitative interviews with members of evangelical free churches and a representative survey with members of evangelical free churches (N = 1100] completed the analysis and inserted the individual disengagement in the milieu's logics . This thesis complements and enriches the literature on evangelism as well as on religious disaffiliation in general.

Immigrant and refugee newcomers have an important role in Iowa. These newcomers have revitalized many Iowa communities, workplaces and faith-based institutions. The arrival of immigrants and refugees poses challenges as well as rewards; understanding and addressing these issues is vital to welcoming and accommodating new Iowans and assuring their part in the long-term economic and social health of our state. This handbook represents a unique collaboration between the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and Ecumenical Ministries of Iowa (EMI). The goal of this collaboration is to create a guidebook for Iowans to learn more about Iowas growing immigrant and refugee population and discover ways to welcome these newcomers and accommodate them in our communities and churches. The unique nature of this joint publication between a public university and Christian churches acknowledges that both institutions have a stake in accommodating immigrants in Iowa. UNI and all institutions of higher education need to support population growth to assure future enrollments. Churches and many other community institutions need immigrants and other newcomers to help maintain their viability. Universities and churches also need healthy local economies. Newcomers can provide much needed skills and labor to make this happen. In short, His collaboration recognizes that making immigration in Iowa work has important long-term implications for us all. This book was written and compiled by two university faculty members, but it is not an official university endorsement of Christianity as the only religion practiced and accepted by Iowans, and no university funds were used to print or distribute this handbook. This handbook is written for Iowas Christian community and is based on the Biblical mandate to welcome newcomers, but we acknowledge Iowas other religious groups and their role in accommodating newcomers as well. We readily acknowledge that other faith-based organizations also welcome newcomers and have a stake in making immigration a positive experience. In order to accommodate the perspectives and needs of these groups, the UNI New Iowans Program is planning to develop similar handbooks for Iowas Jewish and Muslim communities. This handbook includes a number of resource lists for individuals, newcomers, churches and others. Of course, as soon as these lists are printed, they may become out-of-date. In order to obtain the most up-to-date information, please visit the UNI New Iowans Web site: www.bcs.uni.edu/idm/newiowans/ The UNI New Iowans website also makes this handbook available in a PDF format.

Si elle disposait du dispositif thorique adquat, la thologie protestante saurait que faire des rites que les glises protestantes clbrent ! Fort de cette conviction, lauteur propose de comprendre le rite comme une technique dinfluence. Reprenant les travaux de Catherine Bell, il invite rechercher les stratgies de ritualisation mises en place pour chaque rite afin de dcouvrir le type de relation Dieu que chaque glise y suggre. titre dexemple, lauteur applique cette mthode la clbration de la cne dans lglise vanglique de Polynsie franaise.
