A ritual lens on social capital / Cas Wepener, Ignatius Swart. 520 8 $a In Sub-Saharan Africa, Christianity is experiencing unprecedented growth and many people worship on a regular basis. Simultaneously, many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa experience challenges such as poverty and inequality. Given this reality and these challenges, a group of international scholars investigated the ritual practices of one of the fastest growing traditions, namely African Independent Churches, over a period of more than four years. A research team set out to explore the role of religious rituals in social capital formation and social development at community level in an African Independent Church in South Africa. This book is the final, comprehensive and synthesising product in which the international and interdisciplinary team of scholars from theology, religion and development present their findings. The book is structured into three parts that reflects its theoretical, empirical and evaluative dimensions. In part I, theoretical perspectives are offered on the main conceptual apparatus of the book and the authors? own understanding of the nexus between the different concepts. In part II, the theoretical arguments of the book are further worked out by means of eight explorations comprising of qualitative field work research in the religious milieus of African Independent worshippers in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, South Africa. In part III, a final set of chapters, by reflecting on the case studies in part II, offer wider appreciations and applications of the role religious ritual in social capital formation. This includes reflections on the African notion of ubuntu and the challenges that the ritual lens offers to policy makers in South African society, but also African society and the global South more generally speaking when seeking answers to the problem of development.-- $c Provided by publisher, page 4 of cover. 610 20 $a African Independent Church. 650 0 $a Independent churches $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Christian communities $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Social capital (Sociology) $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Theology, Practical. 650 0 $a Public worship $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Public worship $z Africa, Sub-Saharan. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Religious life and customs. 650 7 $a Christian communities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00858951 610 27 $a African Independent Church. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01775610 650 7 $a Independent churches. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968912 650 7 $a Social capital (Sociology) $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122282 650 7 $a Theology, Practical. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149637 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Swart, Ignatius, $d 1965- $e author. $4 aut 700 1 $a Haar, Gerrie ter, $e author. $4 aut 700 1 $a Barnard, Marcel, $d 1957- $e author. $4 aut 830 0 $a Liturgia condenda ; $v 30. $x 1381-2041 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3EE458ECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
