This book presents an African Christian movement full of vitality and crea-
tivity. The reader will meet believers who drink milk so that they may dream
about angels, reports about funerals where the mourners dance with the cof-
fin on their shoulders and church members who are ritually not allowed to
fertilize their fields or wear neck ties.
The author's unique insight into Malawi’s Christian community addresses
important issues in society. Why have ‘Spirit Churches,’ including Pentecos-
talism. been so successful in Malawi? Why do some religious groups still re-
fuse medical help, up to the point that children die of oholera? How did the
independent churches deal with the oolonial trauma? In this masterful por-
trait, Strohbehn takes the reader from industrial mine compounds to rural
colonies, where churches have set up their own spiritual and political rule. He
carefully dissects the fine lines between traditional notions and Christianity's
influence. We find a spiritual portrait of the Ngoni people, a fascinating cultural
analysis of dancing and an encounter with a unique style of preaching.
"Strom's African perspective on Malawian migrant workers and their experience of
Zionism brings out a new understanding of what ministers are facing todah."
