Il a pu être appli- qué avec raison à des partis qui s’étaient détachés des croyances de l’Église uni- verselle, mais il l’a été souvent arbitrai- rement et injustement, et comme une flétrissure, à des chrétiens qui se sépa- raient d’une Église plus ancienne et plus ou moins dominante et privilégiée [...]. Il faut [...] être très circonspect dans l’emploi du terme de secte [...] Si quelque Église chrétienne est qualifiée de secte par telle autre, elle peut en appeler du jugement des hommes à celui de Dieu.“ Pastor Armand de Mestral, Tableau de l’Église chrétienne au XIXe siècle. Lausanne, Bridel 1870, S. 2- 3 (zitiert in Mayer 1987:10) Im Westen wie auch in vielen Ländern der südlichen Hemisphäre hat der im Gefolge der Reformation und der Aufklärung sich beschleunigende Prozeß der Rationalisierung für eine Komplexitätssteigerung des gesellschaftlichen Systems und für eine Differenzierung der Handlungsfelder und Lebensformen gesorgt. Diese Komplexitätssteigerung erweiterte die Privatsphäre und ließ einen breiteren Pluralismus sowohl in der Lebenswelt als auch im institutionellen Bereich entstehen. Dadurch wurde auch die Monopolposition der großen Religionsgemeinschaften ins Wanken gebracht. Die katholische und vor allem die historischen reformatorischen Kirchen brachten neue Gruppen hervor, die sich selbst oft spalteten. Der Prozeß der Rationalisierung und Säkularisierung wurde allerdings seit Ende der 70er Jahre stark gebremst. Derzeit wird immer häufiger von einer sog. „Wiederkehr“ irrationaler und fundamentalistischer religiöser Überzeugungen gesprochen. Bislang jedoch hat diese nur ausnahmsweise zu einer Restauration der alten religiösen Monopolposition geführt. Mit Recht hatte schon der Soziologe Pitirim Sorokin in der Nachkriegszeit darauf aufmerksam gemacht, daß Säkularisierung und Rationalisierung nicht linear, sondern eher spiralförmig ablaufen. Sie kennen Regressionsperioden, während derer das empirische Weltbild (sensate world outlook) sich in ein gleichzeitig empirisches und übernatürliches Weltbild (idealistic world outlook), und dann in ein rein übernatürliches Weltbild (ideational world outlook) umwandelt. Bald ändert sich jedoch wiederum das ideational Weltbild in ein idealistic und in ein sensate Weltbild, so daß man auf die nächste Stufe des Rationalisierungs- und Säkularisierungsprozesses gelangt (Sorokin 1947; Nelson 1987). Mit dem Scheitern der großen sozialpolitischen "Erzählungen" der Moderne, insbesondere des Positivismus und des Marxismus, verwandelt sich das empirische Weltbild der Aufklärung in ein idealistic oder sogar ideational Weltbild, ohne daß man deswegen von einem radikalen Rückgang des Rationalisierungstrends sprechen sollte. Ganz im Gegenteil: Anders als bei den großen Erweckungsbewegungen der Vergangenheit ist selbst die heutige Rückkehr zu religiösen Überzeugungen ungemein differenziert, vielfältig und bunt. Je nach 6 Bedürfnis basteln die meisten unserer Zeitgenossen mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher theologischer Teilelemente (aus dem Christentum, aus alten Ahnenkulten, dem Taoismus, dem Buddhismus, den tibetischen bzw. indi- schen Religionen, dem Spiritismus, dem Esoterischen, dem Satanismus bzw. dem Okkultismus, dem Neugnostismus, der Parapsychologie, den Keltenreligionen, der Astrologie und der UFO- Kontaktbewegung, usw.) eigene, meist provisorische Glaubensbekenntnisse. Die traditionellen bibel- fundamentalistischen und streng dogmatischen religiösen Strömungen haben einen raschen Zuwachs, und gleichzeitig sprießen zahlreiche neue synkretistische religiöse Sondergemeinschaften und Kulte aus dem Boden. All diese Gruppen werden von den Religionssoziologen als „Neue Religiöse Bewegungen“ (New Religious Movements, NRMs) bezeichnet. Dem englischen Soziologen Bryan R. Wilson zufolge besit- zen die NRMs folgende Merkmale: „Exotic provenance; new cultural life-style; a level of engagement markedly different from that of traditional Church Christianity; charismatic leadership; a following predominantly young and drawn in disproportionate measure from the better-educated and middle class sections of society; social conspicuity; international operation, and emergence within the last decade and a half“ (Wilson 1981:V; Barker 1991:10). Die fortschreitende Atomisierung des religiösen Feldes, die zu einem Spiel von Angebot und Nachfrage religiöser Güter, zu einer Art „göttlichem Supermarkt“ führt (Vgl. Ruthven 1989), charakterisiert auch immer mehr Länder der südlichen Hemisphäre. Das Gesamtphänomen ist von solcher Komplexität, daß es sich als notwendig erweist, durch ein mehrfaches Typologisierungsverfahren mehr Klarheit zu schaffen. 7 8 TYPOLOGIE DER SEKTEN UND NEUEN RELIGIÖSEN BEWEGUNGEN Der Begriff „Sekte“ wird in dieser Arbeit wertfrei im Sinne der idealtypischen Typologie von Max Weber und Ernst Troeltsch benutzt. Weber und Troeltsch sprachen Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts von der (protestantischen puritanischen) „Sekte“ als einer von der Gesellschaft getrennten Gruppe von Freiwilligen, die sich aus den unteren Schichten der Bevölkerung rekrutiert, in der religiöse Gleichheit herrscht und die sich durch Protest oder Indifferenz gegenüber dem Staat und den anderen religiösen Gemeinschaften ausweist. Dagegen ist die „Kirche“ eine hierarchische, bürokratische und traditionspflegende Organisation, die vor allem die höhere Bevölkerungsschicht anspricht. In ihr herrscht eine ausgebildete Arbeitsteilung (Regierende, Sakramentsvermittler, Asketen usw.), die in den Sekten nicht in gleichem Maße vorhanden ist. Sie ist eine „Nachwuchsorganisation“ und hat die Tendenz, sich der Welt zu fügen (Weber 19635; Troeltsch 19652). Typologie der Sekten von J. Milton Yinger Die Troeltsche und Webersche Unterscheidung zwischen „Kirche“ und „Sekte“ ist jedoch zu beschränkt, um das ganze Spektrum der Religionsgemeinschaften erfassen zu können. Sie sollte deswegen durch die Typologie von J. Milton Yinger erweitert werden. Yinger wies in Anlehnung an Howard Becker auf folgende religiöse Organisationsformen hin:

  • Pentecostalism As Religion of Periphery: an Analysis of Brazilian Case
    Pentecostalism as religion of periphery: an analysis of Brazilian case Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor philosophae (Dr. phil.) eingerichtet an der Philosophischen Fakultät III der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Von Master of Science Brand Arenari Präsident der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrick Olbertz Dekanin der Philosophen Fakultät III Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1: Klaus Eder 2: Jessé Freire Souza Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 12.12.2013 1 Abstract All the analyses we have developed throughout this dissertation point to a central element in the emergence and development of Pentecostalism, i.e., its raw material – the promise of religious salvation – is based on the idea of social ascension, particularly the ascension related to the integration of sub-integrated social groups to the dynamics of society. The new religion that arose in the USA focused on the needs and social dramas that were specific of the newly arrived to the urban world of the large North-American cities, those who inhabited the periphery of these cities, those that were socially, economically, and ethnically excluded from the core of society. We also analysed how the same social drama was the basis for the development of Pentecostalism in Latin America and, especially, in Brazil. In this country, a great mass of excluded individuals, also residents of urban peripheries (which proves the non-traditional and modern characteristic of these sectors), found in Pentecostalism the promises of answers to their dramas, mainly the anxiety to become integrated to a world in which they did not belong before. Such integration was embedded in the promise present in the modernity of social ascension.

  • WHO REPRESENTS the EVANGELICAL CHURCHES in LATIN AMERICA? a STUDY of the EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP ORGANIZATIONS by Daryl Lynn Plat
    WHO REPRESENTS THE EVANGELICAL CHURCHES IN LATIN AMERICA? A STUDY OF THE EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP ORGANIZATIONS By Daryl Lynn Platt A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of World Mission And Institute of Church Growth FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Missiology June 1991 ¡Error!Marcador no definido. ABSTRACT Platt, Daryl Lynn 1991 Who Represents The Evangelical Churches In Latin America? A Study Of The Evangelical Fellowship Organizations. Fuller Theological Seminary, School of World Mission, Doctor of Missiology, pp. 378. The focus of this study brings recognition to the representative interdenominational organizations which give coordinated leadership to the Protestant/Evangelical churches in the countries of Latin America. For study purposes they are designated here as evangelical fellowship organizations. Although they exist in some form in each country throughout Latin America and represent the top leadership structures among the evangelical ministries, the importance of these organizations has been relatively unrecognized in missiological circles. The study begins with an overview survey of Latin American history focusing on the convergence of social and religious factors in the 19th century which favored the beginning of the evangelical movement and contributed to the diverse nature of the churches of the region. More extensive background information is provided for the ten countries of the South American continent in the form of national historic profiles which present significant data related to the beginnings of evangelical ministries in each of these countries. Finally, the statutory documents from the evangelical fellowship organizations of all nine Spanish-speaking South American countries are then compared and analyzed to authenticate the nature and the function of these inter-church bodies.

  • Acknowledgments Many People, for Many Years, Have Discussed The
    Acknowledgments Many people, for many years, have discussed the need for a record of the Brethren assemblies in North America. David Rodgers, long associated with Emmaus Bible College and assemblies in Iowa and elsewhere, is one of these, and is the person who has done most to promote and encourage the writing of this book. He has provided continuing encouragement and has been an invaluable help in identifying and contacting people who could provide information, and urging their cooperation. Emmaus Bible College, in the persons of Chancellor Dan Smith, Librarian John Rush, and several of the faculty, has been indispensable to this project: the Chancellor with his encouragement; the Librarian with his willingness to put the resources of the library at my disposal and for answering lots of questions; and the faculty who in several ways have encouraged me along the way and critiqued portions of the manuscript at various stages of writing. Many respondents to the questionnaires sent to them have done much more than provide information about their own assemblies; they have provided assistance in the form of information and contacts for other assemblies. Many people have patiently responded several times to my repeated questioning. When I have been reasonably satisfied with a draft for a certain region of the continent, I have sent it to a reviewer for comments, corrections, and additions. The assistance provided by the reviewers has been invaluable. Many reviewers have supplied a great amount of additional information and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time and energy in doing so. To all these people, indispensable to this project, I give my heartfelt thanks.

  • The Sipadan Peace Mission
    THE SIPADAN PEACE MISSION An Excerpt from the book, Miracles in Moroland: A Journey of Faith, Love and Courage ( The Inside Story of the Sipadan Hostage Crisis) authored by Sam Smith, published on January 30, 2015 Evangelist Wilde E. Almeda and the JMCIM became involved with the actors of the second major Abu Sayyaf attack on innocents involving Commander Robot’s Sulu faction and the Sipadan hostages. During this crisis, the beloved Pastor Wilde Almeda and the Jesus Miracle Crusade became “house-hold names” when he and his twelve Prayer Warriors went into the dangerous interior of the mountainous region of Jolo Island on a mission of peace to minister to the Moro terrorists and their 21 captives. The list of hostages continued to grow to as many as 38 prisoners as the Abu Sayyaf, motivated by greed and fame, snatched up more and more people who dared to enter the territory controlled by the dreadful Moro insurgents. There have been many misconceptions about Evangelist Wilde Almeda’s Sipadan Peace Mission. The beloved Evangelist was mocked and ridiculed by the media. Some journalists even called him a “firebrand” during the time he spent with the Abu Sayyaf. His life and safety were automatically written off by many Filipino politicians and some elected officials even remarked that if he was “beheaded” then he got what he deserved because he should have calculated the risks. The beloved Evangelist and his Prayer Warriors were even abandoned by many ministers belonging to other Christian congregations. These preachers questioned the Evangelist’s wisdom and judgment from their pulpits during their Sunday sermons.
