dc.description.abstract |
The current phenomenon of Namibian African Independent Churches (NAICs) draws
attention from various people in civil society in Namibia. Although the ministries of NAICs
are engaged with activities which are unusual for Christian churches, such as healing the
people, fighting against evil spirits and power, performing certain rituals, prophesying and
leading the worship services with African Traditional Religion (ATR) as a frame of reference
in 21st century, they do have a very big influence on various aspects of society in Namibia,
which cannot be ignored. This is because those activities are familiar to the everyday lives of
Africans and in touch with their culture. With regards to this, this article focuses on the causes
of integration or harmony between the Herero culture and the NAICs. |
