Mutual Learning between Researcher and Studied Communities as a Method in Liberationist Fieldwork in South Africa
This article argues that a liberationist approach to research should enable both researchers and communities to share the power of teaching and learning through knowledge exchange. Drawing on the author’s experiences, it highlights mutual learning in liberationist ethnographic research, where both researchers and communities act as interlocutors. However, this exchange is not necessarily equal; instead, researchers should recognize natural moment…
Perspectives on Lived Religion and Lived Theology
This thematic issue brings together current research focused on lived religion and/or lived theology. Several of the articles have been developed from papers presented at the national Research Conference in Theology and Religion held in Turku/Åbo in May 2024. The articles explore diverse possibilities of lived perspectives in current research, build on previous literature and critically challenge some of their assumptions. They highlight both the…
Yes, our faith preaches love, but [this is] reality
The existing literature on the role of religion in addressing xenophobia in South Africa has focused predominantly on Christianity, despite documented evidence of the involvement of other religions in campaigns against it. Our study is based on individual interviews with adherents of Christianity, Islam, and African religion/spirituality who reside in Soweto-South Africa. We argue that there are inconsistencies between the religious perceptions t…

The Circle is also known as a young forum for theological dialogue and mentorship. Launched in 1989 under the leadership of Mercy Amba Oduyoye, the concept of the Circle has been prominent in…
Transformative Experiences of Intercessory Prayers in a South African Context of Xenophobia
This paper explores the effect of intercessory prayers as experienced by Black African migrant women in the context of xenophobia. Drawing on an ethnographic study of the experiences of Black African migrant women at St Aidan’s Anglican Church ( saac ), located in a migrant-dominated area in Johannesburg, I discuss the transformative experiences of health, wealth and relationships resulting from intercessory prayers that challenged the context of…
Institutional Prosperity
Monetary relations were embedded in the social practices of the Saint Aidan’s Anglican Church in South Africa. Consequently, when money was needed to employ a priest, additional dimensions of financial relatedness were established. According to Bonnie Hagerty, Judith Lynch-Sauer, Kathleen Patusky and Maria Bouwsema (1993), relatedness is the movement in a circle of connectedness, disconnectedness, parallelism, and enmeshment. This article discuss…
