Pentecostalism—Africa’s fastest growing form of Christianity—is known for displacing that which came before. Yet anthropologist Devaka Premawardhana witnessed neither massive growth nor dramatic rupture in the part of Mozambique where he worked. His research opens a new paradigm for the study of global Christianity, one centered on religious fluidity and existential mobility, and on how indigenous traditions remain vibrant and influential—even in the lives of converts. In Faith in Flux, Premawardhana narrates a range of everyday hardships faced by a rural Makhuwa-speaking people—snakebites and elephant invasions, chronic illnesses and recurring wars, disputes within families and conflicts with the state—to explore how wellbeing sometimes entails not stability but mobility. In their ambivalent response to Pentecostalism, as in their historical resistance to sedentarization and other modernizing projects, the Makhuwa reveal crucial insights about what it is to be human: about changing as a means of enduring, becoming as a mode of being, and converting as a way of life.

Literature about Christianity in Africa disproportionately directs attention to the important work of Western missionaries, but to a great extent Africans were the agents of their own conversion. This is true of the key figure in this book, Kamba Simango. Encouraged from a distance by an American Congregationalist missionary, Fred R. Bunker, who shared his commitment to an African-led work, Simango, Tapera Nkomo and others struggled against difficult odds in the Mozambique Company region of Manica and Sofala in Central Mozambique. This study reveals the humanity of its characters as well as their deep devotion to their task.

Examines Pentecostal conversion as a force of change, revealing new insights into its dominant role in global Christianity today. There has been an extraordinary growth in Pentecostalism in Africa, with Brazilian Pentecostals establishing new transnational Christian connections, initiating widespread changes not only in religious practice but in society. This book describes its rise in Maputo, capital of Mozambique, and the sometimes dramatic impact of Pentecostalism on women. Here large numbers of urban women are taking advantage of the opportunities Pentecostalism offers to overcome restrictions at home, pioneer new life spaces and change their lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. Yet, conversion can also mean a violent rupturing with tradition, with family and with social networks. As the pastors encourage women to cut their ties with the past, including ancestral spirits, they come to see their kin and husbands as imbued with evil powers, and many leave their families. Conquering spheres that used to be forbidden to them, they often live alone as unmarried women, sometimes earning more than men of a similar age. They are also expected to donate huge sums to the churches, often money that they can ill afford, bringing new hardships. Linda van de Kamp is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The present dissertation is a missionary study of the United Methodist Church and the education system of Mozambique (1929-1992). It arises from an exploration of literature relating to the mission of Protestant churches in the development of education; first at a time when education for indigenous populations in Mozambique was restricted to areas where there were official schools run by the Catholic Church where the end product of the educational system was not to train professionals but to educate the Mozambican people to be obedient to the colonial authorities. The focus period is from 1929 to 1974 when education reinforced the oppressive ideology. At this time the Protestant churches were firm in their promotion of an education that defended Mozambicans, an education that had the purpose of raising the conscience of the town, the nationalist and revolutionary spirit of Mozambicans. This had implications that culminated in the persecution of the Protestant churches that even before this period were considered to be harmful sects within the colonial system as well as the mission of the Catholic Church. The study affirms the mission of the United Methodist Church in promoting education even in the most difficult situation in the southern region of the country which was the political bastion of the colonial system. In the province of Inhambane under an evangelisation permit, the United Methodist Church adopted a strategy to educate the natives using huts as places for clandestine educational development. The church with this noble attitude was doing its best in persuading the colonial authorities which culminated in authorising the United Methodist Church to open educational establishments from pre-primary to three elementary classes, which once again was indicative of the United Methodist Church's dynamism in the formation of Mozambicans in many areas of knowledge. The United Methodist Church through its teaching awakened the nationalist and revolutionary spirit of the youth. In the patrol groups the young people were inspired by the freedom and the awakening of the conscience of Mozambicans. The United Methodist Church facilitated young people to join the liberation movement that had been formed as "FRELIMO" in Tanzania. The second phase of the study discusses educational policies in the postindependence period from 1975 to 1992. During this stage we saw that the churches were forbidden from carrying out any activity in the productive units, that is, in the communal villages under the pretext that they were aligned with the colonial system and the state did not want interference of religion in the affairs of the state. We see that the nation had nationalised the key sectors of education and health. All infrastructures of the church in the areas of education and health were nationalised and, with the nationalisation, the church could not continue to manage the education and health sector. The implication of this led to the loss of educational centres that are still in the hands of the state.
