| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Reclaiming the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) for the Kenya Catholic Church Through the Ignatian Lens of Creative Fidelity in Mission Michael Mungai Ndung'u, 2016 Some of the contemporary challenges experienced by the Kenyan Catholic Church and society include: attack of some people by malevolent powers and spirits, defections of some Catholics to Pentecostal Churches, and shortage of Catholic clergy. The Kenya Catholic Charismatic Renewal, CCR, through its ministries of praise and worship, and healing and deliverance, is responding to these challenges. This thesis is born out an attempt to make the Kenya CCR better understood and appreciated. This paper uses the Igantian lens of creative fidelity in mission to reclaim the Kenya CCR for the Kenyan Church. It argues that in carrying out its mission, the Kenya CCR is both creative and faithful in the sense of the Ignatian creative fidelity in mission. The principle of Ignatian creative fidelity purses meaningful ingenuity and faithfulness to Christ in doing mission. The Kenya CCR has been faithful in its mission in three senses; faithful to its Kenyan African identity, faithful to its received charism of the Holy Spirit, and faithful to its Catholic identity. This paper will expound the praise and worship, and healing and deliverance CCR ministries. These ministries constitute identifying characteristics of the traditional African culture and the Tradition of the Catholic Church. The CCR is faithful in retrieving these ministries, and is creative in appropriating them to the contemporary Kenyan Catholic Church context. Lack of these ministries or lack of their adequate appreciation within the Catholic Church has led many Catholics to defect to Pentecostal Churches as they pursue healing and deliverance from sickness and afflictions by malevolent powers. These minitries are attracting back to the Church Catholics who had defected. They also make the Catholic liturgies more lively and meaningful. Additionally, they provide lay ministers who mitigates adverse pastoral effects caused by shortage of Catholic clergy in Kenya. This paper proposes dialogue, discernment and formation as the way to handle emerging tensions that affect the Kenya CCR. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Moral Collectives Stefan Joller, Marija Stanisavljević, 2023-11-29 Whether terrorist attacks, refugee or financial crises - the challenges of globalized modernity expose those areas that Durkheim described as anomic and whose processing still illustrates the central position of moral communication. There is some evidence to suggest that progressive functional differentiation does not erode morality, but actually promotes a remoralization of society through increasing communicative networking. Wherever grievances come to light and it is not foreseeable how they could be satisfactorily resolved in the modus operandi, morality provides a promising instrument which, in the form of moral collectives, is able to permeate everyday life and shape society. In this sense, the anthology is dedicated to a theoretical as well as empirical analysis of morality, which takes shape as a genuinely social quantity via moral collectives. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. |
| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Winds of the Spirit Conrad Kanagy, Tilahun Beyene, Richard Showalter, 2012-08-29 In this groundbreaking study, the authors make an unsettling claim: Anabaptist churches of the Global South have more in common with the church of the first three centuries than they do with contemporary churches in Europe and North America that claim the Anabaptist name. With data from 18,000 church members in ten countries, they show how historical patterns of church renewal are repeating themselves today in the Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The study does more than crunch statistics; it probes the sources and nature of the renewal and growth. And it pushes readers to ask what these trends can teach the church of the North in their own quest for faithfulness and vitality. A compact and informative thesaurus on emerging ecclesiastical and cultural meanings of ‘Mennonite.’ Christian faith today is not merely a world religion, but a substantially non-Western phenomenon. —Jonathan J. Bonk, executive director, Overseas Ministries Study Center |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Aids and Religious Practice in Africa Felicitas Becker, Wenzel Geissler, 2009-02-23 This volume explores how AIDS is understood, confronted and lived with through religious ideas and practices, and how these, in turn, are reinterpreted and changed by the experience of AIDS. Examining the social production, and productivity, of AIDS - linking bodily and spiritual experiences, and religious, medical, political and economic discourses - the papers counter simplified notions of causal effects of AIDS on religion (or vice versa). Instead, they display people’s resourcefulness in their struggle to move ahead in spite of adversity. This relativises the vision of doom widely associated with the African AIDS epidemic; and it allows to see AIDS, instead of a singular event, as the culmination of a century-long process of changing livelihoods, bodily well-being and spiritual imaginaries. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: African Pentecostalism from African Perspectives Ezra Chitando, Lovemore Togarasei, Loreen Maseno, 2024-11-05 Although African scholars have made a significant contribution to the study of African Pentecostalism, very few studies have reflected on their output. Most of the contemporary publications on the widespread phenomenon of African Pentecostalism create the impression that only scholars from the Global North have contributed to the field. This volume addresses the lacuna in the available scholarship by undertaking detailed analyses of how African scholars from diverse academic disciplines and African/Diasporan context have helped to shape the field. The included chapters provid fresh data on new themes and perspectives in the field. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Implications of a Global Religious Movement for Local Political Spheres Katharina Hofer, 2006 Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der offentlichen Rolle der evangelikalen Bewegung in Kenia und Uganda. Der Untersuchung liegt die Hypothese zugrunde, dass die Anziehungskraft dieser rasant wachsenden Religionsgemeinschaft nicht nur von ihrer charismatischen Spiritualitat ausgeht, sondern auch von ihrer konservativen Weltanschauung. Sie dient der Stabilisierung im Zuge komplexer gesellschaftlicher und wirtschaftlicher Wandlungsprozesse. Die evangelikle Bewegung befriedigt jedoch nicht nur das personliche Sicherheitsbedurfnis, sie stellt auch psychologische und materielle Ressourcen fur ein aktives Eingreifen in den Wandlungsprozess bereit. Fur die Gegenuberstellung von religiosen und politischen Ordnungsvorstellungen wurde eine Erhebung zu politischen und sozialen Einstellungsmustern durchgefuhrt. Das Ergebnis der Erhebung zeigt, dass Anhanger der evangelikalen Bewegung im Vergleich mit Anhangern anderer Religionsgemeinschaften einerseits starker zu politischem Autoritarismus und Vorurteilen neigen, andererseits jedoch fur einen an neo-konservativen Werten angelehnten sozio-okonomischen Wandlungsprozess einstehen. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Women in World Christianity Gina A. Zurlo, 2023-07-26 A groundbreaking, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary analysis of women’s experiences in World Christianity Women in World Christianity: Building and Sustaining a Global Movement is the first textbook to focus on women’s experiences in the founding, spread, and continuation of the Christian faith. Integrating historical, theological, and social scientific approaches to World Christianity, this innovative volume centers women’s perspectives to illustrate their key role in Christianity becoming a world religion, including how they sustain the faith in the present and their expanding role in the future. Women in World Christianity features findings from the Women in World Christianity Project, a groundbreaking study that produced the first quantitative dataset on gender in every Christian denomination in every country of the world. Throughout the text, special emphasis is placed on women in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the period of Christianity’s shift from the global North to the global South. Easily accessible chapters – organized by continent, tradition, and select topics – introduce students to the wide variety of Christian belief and practice around the world.

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Christians in the City of Nairobi Kyama Mugambi, Mark Shaw, 2025-02-06 In this book Kyama Mugambi and Mark Shaw examine the diverse expressions of Christianity in Metropolitan Nairobi, a city boasting a population of ten million, which is one of the most religiously pluralistic cities in the world. Founded in 1899 as little more than a train depot for the Uganda Railway, Nairobi has come a long way; mosques, megachurches and temples serve as the backdrop for examining Christianity and public life in this vibrant city. This volume covers all the major Christian traditions practiced in the city, including Protestantism, Orthodoxy and Catholicism. The city is a laboratory of a new global pluralism, and avital centre of a new global Christian pluralism specifically. Mugambi and Shaw argue that this kind of pluralism is reshaping religion everywhere in the majority world. Other themes include the role of women in Christianity, Kenyan Independent Churches, and the Christian youth movement. The book illuminates how through Christianity, Africans have begun to come to terms with modern urban realities, including religious pluralism, hypothesising how this process could unfold in other parts of the world. |
| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Worship, Ritual, and Pentecostal Spirituality-as-Theology Martina Björkander, 2024-02-06 Vibrant worship music is part of the Charismatic liturgy all around the world, and has become in many ways the hallmark of Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity. Despite its centrality, scholarly interest in the theological and ritual significance of worship for pentecostal spirituality has been sparse, not least in Africa. Combining rich theoretical and theological insight with an in-depth case study of worship practices in Nairobi, Kenya, this interdisciplinary study offers a significant contribution to knowledge and is bound to influence scholarly discussions for years to come. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Pentecostal worship, ritual, and spirituality. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Kenyan, Christian, Queer Adriaan van Klinken, 2019-07-24 Popular narratives cite religion as the driving force behind homophobia in Africa, portraying Christianity and LGBT expression as incompatible. Without denying Christianity’s contribution to the stigma, discrimination, and exclusion of same-sex-attracted and gender-variant people on the continent, Adriaan van Klinken presents an alternative narrative, foregrounding the ways in which religion also appears as a critical site of LGBT activism. Taking up the notion of “arts of resistance,” Kenyan, Christian, Queer presents four case studies of grassroots LGBT activism through artistic and creative expressions—including the literary and cultural work of Binyavanga Wainaina, the “Same Love” music video produced by gay gospel musician George Barasa, the Stories of Our Lives anthology project, and the LGBT-affirming Cosmopolitan Affirming Church. Through these case studies, Van Klinken demonstrates how Kenyan traditions, black African identities, and Christian beliefs and practices are being navigated, appropriated, and transformed in order to allow for queer Kenyan Christian imaginations. Transdisciplinary in scope and poignantly intimate in tone, Kenyan, Christian, Queer opens up critical avenues for rethinking the nature and future of the relationship between Christianity and queer activism in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Freedom of Religion at Stake Dion A. Forster, Elisabeth Gerle, Göran Gunner, 2019-11-01 How can freedom of religion protect the dignity of every human being and safeguard the well-being of creation? This question arises when considering the competing claims among faith traditions, states, and persons. Freedom of religion or belief is a basic human right, and yet it is sometimes used to undermine other human rights. This volume seeks to unpack and wrestle with some of these challenges. In order to do so scholars were invited from different contexts in Africa and Europe to write about freedom of religion from various angles. How should faith traditions in a minority position be protected against majority claims and what is the responsibility of the religious communities in this task? When does the state risk overstepping its boundaries in the delicate balance between freedom of religion and other human rights? How can new voices, who claim their human rights in relation to gender roles, reproductive rights, and as sexual minorities, be heard within their faith traditions? These are some of the questions that are raised by the authors. This is a book for all who are engaged in faith communities, leaders as well as people trying to be recognized. It is also important reading for all interested in international legal frameworks for freedom of religion, state advisers, and human right defenders. |
| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Global Christianity Gina Zurlo, 2022-09-06 Explore Christian life in every corner of the world. Christianity is now a majority-global South religion, with more believers living in Africa, Asia, and Latin America than in Europe and North America. However, most Americans have little exposure to Christians around the world. In addition, the United States is still the country that sends the most international missionaries. While many American churches support missionaries overseas, they may not understand the beliefs, practices, histories, and challenges Christians experience abroad. Global Christianity is an accessible quick-reference guide to the global church. Filled with at-a-glance maps and charts, it puts relevant and up-to-date information into the hands of churches, mission organizations, and individuals. Useful for prayer, missions, outreach, and study of the global church, this is the new standard resource on the world's largest religion. Understand Christianity within each continent, country, tradition, and movement with: Current demographic information from the United Nations Research from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity A focus on historical, sociological, political, and religious contexts Things to consider within each local context, such as political conflicts, church-state relations, religious freedom, gender equality, education, health, economics, and climate change. This resource will satisfy those looking for background on the global church and equip individuals and churches to strategically pray for, give to, and unite with fellow Christians around the world. |
| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion. Volume 9 (2018) Solange Lefebvre, Alfonso Pérèz-Agote Poveda, 2018-09-11 Catholicism is generally over-institutionalized and over-centralized in comparison to other religions. However, it finds itself in an increasingly interrelated and globalized world and is therefore immersed in a great plurality of social realities. The Changing Faces of Catholicism assembles an international cast of contributors to explore the consequent decline of powerful Catholic organisations as well as to address the responses and resistance efforts that specific countries have taken to counteract the secularization crisis in both Europe and the Americas. It reveals some of the strategies of the Catholic Church as a whole, and of the Vatican centre in particular, to address problems of the global era through the dissemination of spiritually progressive writing, World Youth Days, and the transformation of Catholic education to become a forum for intercultural and interreligious dialogue. The volume also reflects on the adaptation of Catholic institutions and missions as sponsored by religious communities and monastic orders. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: The Reception of the Second Vatican Council's Liturgical Reforms in Nigeria (Nsukka Diocese) Uchenna Aba, 2016 Fifty years after the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, a great moment has dawned in which a more dispassionate assessment of the reception of this important document has become imperative in order to enable the Church to undertake necessary steps in realizing the full potential of the renewal envisaged by the Council Fathers. The present study identifies peculiar and diverse challenges confronting the process of reception in the Nsukka Diocese/Nigerian Church today. However, the author acknowledges that the full reception of Sacrosanctum Concilium is still a work-in-progress.

These, however, are rarely mere facts on the ground ? they are legal, political, social, and theological projects that require considerable effort to realise. This volume ? compiling the proceedings of the third annual conference of the African Consortium for Law and Religion Studies ? focuses on various issues which vastly effect the understanding of religious pluralism in Africa. These include, amongst others, religious freedom as a human right, the importance of managing religious pluralism, and the permissibility of religious practice and observance in South African public schools. |

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: African Christian Theologies and the Impact of the Reformation Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Tharcisse Gatwa, Traugott Jähnichen, Elisée Musemakweli, 2017 One of the strongest heritages of the Reformation for Christianity was to return to the central role given to the Bible, translated in local dialects. Christianity expanded thanks to the translation of the Bible in vernacular languages worldwide. Most importantly, the people who had been victims of prejudices of race supremacy could now have access to God in their own language, culture, and idioms without intermediaries. It is largely thanks to Bible translations that the majority of those churches in Africa, born of European mission activities, continued to develop positively after the end of the colonial age, and that independent African churches emerged.

| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Christian Responses to Terrorism Gordon L. Heath, David Kirwa Tarus, 2017-11-01 How should Christians respond to terrorism and terrorists in their midst? Terrorism is a global problem, and no society on earth faces it alone. The mainly Christian society of Kenya has suffered more than most as it attempts to counter the threat of al-Shabaab. Some pastors have asked for permission to carry guns. Many Christians support government military action, while others recommend pacifist stances, and strive for dialogue and reconciliation with the Muslim community. In this book, ten Kenyan Christian thinkers and practitioners share their experiences and insights. A response section from seven others, including a Kenyan Muslim scholar, enrich the discussion. |
| charismatic catholic church in kenya: Religious Authority and the State in Africa Jennifer G. Cooke, 2015-11-10 Two important dynamics have driven political and social change in sub-Saharan Africa during the past 25 years. New religious trends have emerged within the main faiths of Islam and Christianity, in particular the emergence of more charismatic, assertive forms of religious expression. Meanwhile, political space has opened in scores of countries as one-party rule has given way to a process of democratization, yet to be completed. Based on their field work in each country, the authors examine the various ways in which religious actors have chosen to engage with the state. They also consider how governments and political actors respond to, and seek to manage, these interactions. |
