The Church of Scientology attempts to gain converts by offering "free stress tests". Cowan , Stuart A. As Robert Hefner points out , conversion to an exclusivist religion does not always demand apostasy: a more pacific combination of elements is possible, though generally involving the censuring of the traditional religion. Understanding Religious Conversion. About the Author Lewis R. The distance between indigenous peoples and anthropologists in relation to the ideals of conversion should be seen, then, more as a warning for us to give due consideration to the claims made by natives. Their existence is morally conflict-ridden not because of a clash between cultural values per se, but because they lack the means to meet the demands of the situation in which they now live. Mass conversions of areas and communities to Buddhism occur up to the present day, for example, in the Dalit Buddhist movement in India there have been organized mass conversions. Allan Kardec 's codification of Spiritism occurred between the years and Baptisms inside and outside the temples are usually done in a baptistry , although they can be performed in any body of water in which the person may be completely immersed. Left to Hinduism Islam Christianity. So where exactly do assimilation, transformation, adoption and substitution begin and end? Rambo has given us a good and interesting book on the subject of religious conversion. Consequently the adoption model, in which two distinct cultures coexist as totalities, may require a notion of synthesis for it to become intelligible, even though this reduction is not necessarily imagined to occur between two hermetically sealed and immutable cultures. Loading comments… Trouble loading? As the author summarizes:. Newton Malony, Journal of Religion. See the idea of commutation below. Perhaps we can therefore differentiate one adoption model from another, which can be labelled the substitution model, each with its own characteristics. The Oxford Handbook of Religious Conversion offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics of religious conversion, which for centuries has profoundly shaped societies, cultures, and individuals throughout the world. One way or another, though, none of the models considers that the process of conversion may have reciprocal effects: both for the religion of the converts, and for the religion of who converted them.

The diverse and apparently contradictory claims concerning situations of conversion discussed over the course of this article can acquire a new meaning if we analyze them in terms of exchanging perspectives. Usually when agents from the missionary culture speak of successful religious conversion, they mean the result of a complete process of adoption, or, more precisely, in certain cases, a process of substitution. The case of the conversion of South American native peoples illustrates this point: while the Europeans sought to conceptualize the indigenous peoples within a typically western cosmology, the Indians, for their part, wanted to incorporate this alterity fully Viveiros de Castro Understanding Religious Conversion 1st edition Writer If there are any mistakes, or if any part of the person being baptized is not fully immersed, the baptism must be redone. Then, when he was in his mids, he attended a revivalist meeting. The idea that bodily metamorphosis is the Amerindian counterpart to the European theme of spiritual conversion Viveiros de Castro seems to be recognized by the missionaries. The consensus in Spiritism is that God, the Great Creator, is above everything, including all human things such as rituals, dogmas, denominations or any other thing. Finally it looks to establish a framework for exploring the complex question of conversion by making explicit and reworking some of the premises encountered in the presented examples. Throughout the timeline of Buddhism , conversions of entire countries and regions to Buddhism were frequent, as Buddhism spread throughout Asia. Archived from the original on How would it be possible, then, to understand the idea of an omniscient god, like the god of Christianity, in a perspectivist cosmology? For example, does displaying student artwork that includes a religious symbol in a common area of the school violate the Establishment Clause? He visited his neighbours, "to converse with [them] on religion, which I could not have been hired to have done before". Religious conversion is the adoption of a set of beliefs identified with one particular religious denomination to the exclusion of others. Review of Religious Research. Furthermore, certain Hassidic groups who physically attacked a meeting of the Hebrew Christian 'cult' have themselves been labeled a 'cult' and equated with the followers of Reverend Moon , by none other than the President of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Cannell ed. Each chapter is thoroughly researched, well-documented, and carefully written with an impressive amount of scholarly detachment.

This does leave him open to the charge of elitism and, indeed, the study of religion since James has tended to be more democratic. How to cite this article. For forced conversion, see Forced conversion. Proselytism is the act of attempting to convert by persuasion another individual from a different religion or belief system. While for the anthropologist the second conversion involved the understanding of the adopted religion in its own terms, for the natives the new conversion occurred after a profound ecstatic experience, the result of a religious rebirth Robbins , Moreover, religions, in this view, are preferentially exclusive; [ Threads collapsed expanded unthreaded. Perhaps it can happen to anyone. Hinduism as a Missionary Religion. The discourses themselves may be absolutely contradictory if seen in conjunction, but this does not impede the anthropologist from considering them simultaneously: incommensurability does not mean irrelationality.

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, n. This means it will always be contested, though to reduce extraneous argument and focus on the evidence that is mostly likely to be illuminating, James examines what he takes to be the most valuable material: the best articulated and most profound records of conversion. Gordon More than a study about conversion, it is also a complete theory of culture change. Understanding Religious Conversion 1st edition Reviews Jain monks and nuns are required to observe these five vows strictly. Often these are relatively small, close-knit minority religions that are ethnically based such as the Yazidis , Druze , and Mandaeans. Swatos Jr. When examining discourses and practices relating to religious conversion, it is not unusual to encounter controversies over its legitimacy, its modes of operation or even the very meaning of conversion. Whether the conversion is from one religious tradition to another, from one denomination to another, from no involvement to participation in a religious community, or is an intensification of commitment within one's faith, the process can be complex but compelling and transformative. Converting to Islam requires the shahada , the Muslim profession of faith "there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah". The Church of Scientology attempts to gain converts by offering "free stress tests". It only makes sense when correlated with the conception of divine immateriality. Wright , James T.

Their display could marginalize non- Christian and non-Jewish students and be counter-productive to the positive school climate we work to establish. Please ensure you're using that browser before attempting to purchase. On the other end of the scale are religions that do not accept any converts, or do so very rarely. Allied to the first position, which prevents the emphasis from falling on native creativity, is a certain historical identification between anthropologists and missionaries Stocking , one usually rejected by both Van der Geest Ahom Hmongism Mo Satsana Phi. And as we have seen, it is very possible that missionary agents and indigenous peoples have completely different ideas about this process. As Steve Charleston shows , the fact that North American Choctaw Indians, for example, assert the existence of a native Old Testament in parallel to a Jewish Old Testament may be problematic to others, but this does not stop them from considering both to be part of their own religion and this, in turn, to be legitimately Christian. Jung thought that the unconscious could play a redemptive role in life. The general reader will benefit from his overview of representative studies of this phenomenon. Religious conversion provides converts with an opportunity to embrace a community of faith and a philosophy that nurture and guide, that offer a focus for loyalty and a framework for action.

  • Satsang, a Contemporary Religion of Convergence
    Satsang, a Contemporary Religion of Convergence Rajarshi Roy (SPR, a voluntary role in Satsang) B.E.(Mech), M.B.A.(Finance) Senior Member, Satsang UK Senior IT Consultant London Abstract: Purpose of this study is to identify the similarities in beliefs, traditions, and rituals of all the existing religions or religious practices of the world and explore the possibilities of religious convergence. The study found that although there are many similarities in the principles of the major religions in the world none of the old and existing religions offer religious convergence where a union of existing religions is possible. Satsang, a contemporary religion founded by Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra (1888-1969), a prominent philanthropist and one of the greatest philosophers of recent times, supports convergence. This paper explained the importance of initiation in the creed of a superior ideal in each of the major religions. It has also examined in detail about how people from any faith, race or religion can practice the principles of Satsang doctrine along with existing religious practices to accomplish the spiritual quests of individuals. Keywords: Convergence, Conversion, Initiation, Religion, Living Ideal Introduction The term ‘Religious Convergence’ signifies a religious platform where all the existing and old religious believers and practitioners can perform unique spiritual practices belong to each religious group, under one platform without diluting individual identities to fulfil individuals’ spiritual quest. In other word it can be defined as union of all religions in one platform. Similarities in Principles in Major Religions in the World When one looks at all the major world religions, it is evident that that they are more similar than dissimilar in terms of their spiritual quest, the path of discipleship and goal of achieving holiness.

Dissertation Advisor: William M. Todd Alexandre Gontchar Three Easy Pieces: Tolstoy, Khlebnikov, Platonov and the Fragile Absolute of Russian Modernity Abstract This dissertation shows how three Russian authors estranged and challenged the notion of human freedom as self-determination—the idea that meaningful self-authorship is possible in view of the finitude that every human being embodies under different aspects of his existence, such as the individual and collective awareness of the inevitability of death, as well as the narrative inclusion of any existential project within multiple contexts of history, culture, and language, all of which are always given already.

  • CORPORATE REUNION: a NINETEENTH- CENTURY DILEMMA VINCENT ALAN Mcclelland University of Hull
    CORPORATE REUNION: A NINETEENTH- CENTURY DILEMMA VINCENT ALAN McCLELLAND University of Hull EFORE THE ADVENT of the Oxford Movement in 1833 and before the B young converts George Spencer and Ambrose Phillipps had, shortly before his death, enlisted the powerful support and encouragement of the aristocratic Louis de Quelin, Archbishop of Paris,1 in the establishment in 1838 of an Association of Prayers for the Conversion of England, the matter of the reunion of a divided Christendom had greatly engaged the attention of Anglican divines. Indeed, as Brandreth in his study of the ecumenical ideals of the Oxford Movement has pointed out, "there is scarcely a generation [in the history of the Church of England] from the time of the Reformation to our own day which has not caught, whether perfectly or imperfectly, the vision of a united Christendom."2 The most learned of Jacobean divines, Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester under James I, regularly interceded "for the Universal Church, its confir­ mation and growth; for the Western Church, its restoration and pacifi­ cation; for the Church of Great Britain, the setting in order of the things that are wanting in it and the strengthening of the things that remain".3 In the anxiety to locate the needs of the national church within the context of the Church Universal, Andrewes was followed by a host of Carolingian divines and Settlement nonjurors, themselves the harbingers of that Anglo-Catholic spirit which gave life, albeit by means of a prolonged and painful Caesarian section, to the vibrant Tractarian quest for ecclesial justification.

The uneasiness of “No” is out of the fear that people might misunderstand me as anti-Christian or even anti-religious. Having spent quite a bit of time in weighing various strands of thought, in the end, I have decided to be identified as a syncretistic who takes each school of thought, theism or atheism, as the expression of certain truths of human existence.

  • The Dandy in Earnest: Oscar Wilde's Spiritual Aestheticism
    ABSTRACT THE DANDY IN EARNEST: OSCAR WILDE’S SPIRITUAL AESTHETICISM In this thesis, I employ Bruce Bashford’s model of “Wildean dialectic” as a methodology to explore correspondences between Wilde’s critical writings, The Picture of Dorian Gray, “The Portrait of Mr. W.H.,” and some of Wilde’s fairy tales. In doing so, I demonstrate that far from being a mere intellectual or spiritual dalliance, whatever Wilde’s personal devotion may have been, his perennial interest in Catholicism had wide-ranging implications for his developing aesthetic philosophy and his writing. Wilde’s relationship to Catholicism has commonly been viewed as a question of religious commitment and many scholars have sought to verify his deathbed conversion as though this could explicate the nature of his almost lifelong engagement with Catholicism and Catholic theology. In my analysis of Wilde’s writing I circumvent biographical study as much as possible, showing via close readings of the selected texts how Wilde’s aesthetic philosophy appears to have evolved largely through dialectical interactions with Catholic theology. In particular, I find that Wilde’s references to Catholic theology and his uses of Catholic symbol and ritual within the fairy tales enable him to develop a system of aesthetic education based in literary space and operating through the subjective synthesis of deliberately constructed dialectic spaces. Specifically, I argue that through his uses of Catholic symbol, Wilde is able to focus the subjective in ways hypothetically superior to the theorized House Beautiful, providing a possible resolution to many of the problems of that model of aesthetic education.

    The Persistence of Catholicism: How Eighteenth-Century English Writers Imagined a Minority Religious Community by Geremy R. Carnes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Lincoln B. Faller, Chair Professor David J. Hancock Professor Clement C. Hawes Professor David L. Porter Assistant Professor Sean R. Silver © Geremy R. Carnes 2012 Acknowledgements This dissertation could never have been written without the guidance, assistance, and simple goodwill of my colleagues and friends. I owe particular thanks to my committee members for seeing me through this project. I benefited immensely from the incisive criticism offered by my chair, Lincoln Faller, but even more so from his advice and wisdom. Several times in the past few years, he helped me steer my project back on track when it threatened to slip off the rails. David Porter’s comments on my work have refined my thinking and my writing in ways I never knew they needed refining, and I derived incalculable benefit from his dependably cheerful demeanor. My conversations with Sean Silver, whether about my research or the practical side of academia, are always as enjoyable as they are beneficial, and I look forward to having many more of them. And I am grateful to Clem Hawes and David Hancock for their generosity with their time. My exchanges with them helped me to define my project. Also, although they are not on my committee, I would like to thank Tina Lupton and Sunil Agnani for their insights and collegiality during my years in the program.
