Recovering the Voice and Agency of Enock Gwanzura in the Growth and Development of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe
This article explores the marginalisation of Black African church leaders in the early Apostolic Faith Mission ( AFM ) in Zimbabwe (1915–1962). The main focus is on Enock Gwanzura, a pivotal figure in the growth and expansion of the AFM in Zimbabwe, whose contributions have largely been erased from official church history. Using a qualitative historiographical methodology, the study draws on interviews and unpublished archival materials from the …
Theology of sexual purity
This article investigates the role of religious doctrine in sustaining child marriage in Zimbabwe, a practice that persists, despite its prohibition by the Constitutional Court in 2016. While existing literature often attributes the prevalence of child marriage to poverty and economic hardship, this research identifies the white garment churches’ theology of sexual purity as a significantand underexamined driver. The study argues that this theolo…
Migrant churches and reverse mission
The migration of Zimbabweans in search of better opportunities has spurred the growth and spread of Zimbabwean Churches within diaspora communities. Currently, many Zimbabwean churches like other African Churches have crossed continental borders, setting up branches in Europe and North America. This phenomenon of African Churches engaging with diasporic communities has been described by scholars as a ‘Reverse Mission’. A critical question that em…
Dynamics of health and wellness at an African Pentecostal Churchrelated institution in Zimbabwe
The article explores the challenges faced by God’s Grace University in Zimbabwe (a pseudonym), an African Pentecostal Church-affiliated institution, due to an increase in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among its students. As one of the pioneering African Pentecostal church-affiliated universities in Zimbabwe, it has experienced a significant surge in student enrolment, which coincides with an increase in STI incidents. The information gat…
Burial sites as Contested Memorial Terrain
Abrahamic religions emphasise remembering their origins, how they began, where they come from, and possibly where they will keep the flock moving forward without losing focus. “Then Joseph made the sons of Israel (Jacob) swear [an oath], saying, “God will surely visit you and take care of you [returning you to Canaan], and [when that happens] you shall carry my bones up from here.” (Gen 50:35 Amplified Version). Against this backdrop, this articl…
Spiritualization of the Causes of Illness
This study focused on the spiritualization of the causes and treatment of illness within the African Prophetic churches in Zimbabwe (and its diaspora) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study comes at a time when most prophetic churches seem to maintain a position that sicknesses and diseases are caused by evil spirits. While mainline/missionary churches are of the opinion that most sicknesses and diseases were caused by bacteria, virus…
African spirituality in the Johane Masowe Chishanu religious movement in Zimbabwe
This study explored the impact of African indigenous spirituality on African indigenous churches (AICs), particularly in the Zimbabwean context, a special focus was on the Johane Masowe Chishanu (JMC) religious movement spirituality. The spirituality of the JMC religious movement is examined by cross-examining its denigration of the centrality of the Bible, the historical Jesus and the temple gathering as the movement appropriates and re-socialis…
Spiritualised political theology in a polarised political environment
This article interrogates the interface between the older Pentecostal movement and politics in Zimbabwe. The country continues to face political violence and a breakdown in rule of law. The Zimbabwean populace is asking whether the Zimbabwean Pentecostal movement is ready and able to exercise its prophetic role in promoting real peace and democracy. Many Zimbabweans are asking this question, because the track record shows that whilst most mainlin…
