Death in a Church of Life [Adobe Ebook]

Product Description
This deeply insightful ethnography explores the healing power of caring and intimacy in a small, closely bonded Apostolic congregation during BotswanaOCOs HIV/AIDS pandemic. "Death in a Church of Life" paints a vivid picture of how members of the Baitshepi Church make strenuous efforts to sustain loving relationships amid widespread illness and death. Over the course of long-term fieldwork, Frederick Klaits discovered BaitshepiOCOs distinctly maternal ethos and the spiritual kinship embodied in the churchOCOs nurturing fellowship practice. Klaits shows that for Baitshepi members, Christian faith is a form of moral passion that counters practices of divination and witchcraft with redemptive hymn singing, prayer, and the use of therapeutic substances. An online audio annex makes available examples of the church membersOCO preaching and song."
