Pragmatic Faith and the Tanzanian Lutheran Church
Author: Amy Stambach
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 179360360X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Pragmatic Faith and the Tanzanian Lutheran Church: Bishop Erasto N. Kweka’s Life and Work examines the operations and organization of the Tanzanian Lutheran church through the life and times of its longest serving diocesan bishop, Erasto N. Kweka. Amy Stambach and Aikande Kwayu develop the concept of pragmatic faith, belief-in-practice, to analyze the integration of religious experience, institutionalism, and doctrine or orthodoxy. Pragmatic faith breaks down the lingering binary found in anthropological studies of Christianity between transcendental experience and pragmatic struggle, and between religious revival as rupture or continuity. Stambach and Kwayu analyze the instrumental use of religion in practice, as well as its socially mobilized potential for revelation and transformation. A key analytic agenda of this book is to illuminate how a church that retains the organizational and ritual forms of a European mission church "became" culturally localized over time and yet, paradoxically, also existed pre-colonially. Accordingly, this book offers detailed and ethnographically-grounded perspective on how leaders and laypeople affiliated with the Tanzanian Lutheran church connect the church with other significant institutions, not only the state and the government, but also descent groups, extended families, self-help groups, and existing civic organizations, in order to live meaningfully.

Pages : 0
Book Description
The Bega kwa Bega partnership between the Saint Paul Area Synod congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Iringa Diocese congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT) and its impact on the lives of its people (1987 - 2004). The Saint Paul Area Synod (SPAS) and the Iringa Diocese of Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT) have been partners in ministry since 1987. From its beginnings as a meeting between bishops, the partnership has mushroomed into involving people at the grassroots level¿reaching sixty congregations, over a thousand travelers, over 900 scholarship recipients, establishing the country¿s first private university, sponsoring construction, drilling wells for safe drinking water, and undertaking the expansion of health care facilities. This relationship of prayer, friendship, and partnership continues to grow stronger and stronger as God¿s grace spans the distance and cultural differences from Minnesota to Tanzania.
