Pentecostal churches, specifically those of the Assembly of God, are becoming increasingly important in Burkina Faso. They incarnate a certain idea of modernity. In this light, conversion allows for a distancing from the ancestral village community which favours development. Conversion appears as a process in which an alternative intersubjectivity is invented or negotiated. It also acts as a process of hybridisation, a veritable « widening of the divine » in which immanent and transcendent divinities coexist. This process of individuation is at the same time a process whereby community solidarities are recomposed
