[article]
Titre : Israelite Prophetic Marks among Zimbabwean Men of God : An Evaluation of the Conduct of Selected Zimbabwean Church Leaders in Recent Politics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Obvious Vengeyi, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 159-178. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : What does it mean to be prophetic during political turmoil? Does it mean opposition to the government or opposition to any opposition to the government? is article offers a Biblical theological response to this question as it evaluates the behaviour of the clergymen and church representative bodies in Zimbabwe. Although the immediate context is the violence that engulfed the nation soon after 29 March 2008 election, over the years since 2000, the church has spoken with contradictory voices. There are churches and individual church leaders who openly displayed their allegiance to the government irrespective of all glaring misgivings. On one hand there existed some Christian leaders who opposed whatever the government did, hence they openly clamoured for regime change. While all this was happening, the common man benefitted only confusion as to who really is prophetic, that is who really represents God and the people.

Titre : Mapositori Churches and Politics in Zimbabwe : Political Dramas to Win the Support of Mapositori Churches Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Obvious Vengeyi, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 351–368. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Religion Church and Politics Mapositori Zimbabwe zanu-pf and mdc Résumé : This article confirms the validity of the well known observation by scholars regarding the intrinsic interconnectedness of religion and politics in Africa. This truism is affirmed by demonstrating how Zimbabwe’s main political parties, Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (zanu-pf) and Movement for Democratic Change (mdc), contrary to their public statements appeal to religious leaders and groups for political survival. Special focus is on ‘white garment churches’ otherwise commonly known as Mapositori the biggest brand of African Initiated Churches. As such, mainline churches and traditional chiefs are considered in passing especially in order to understand the present state of affairs where Mapositori rule the roost in political matters of Zimbabwe.
