One of the most relevant aspects of this process is the spreading of Evangelical and Pentecostal churches founded by African migrants, a phenomenon that contributed to the emergence of new configurations of Christianity in Europe. The town of Lisbon (Portugal), a place where different experiences of spirituality and distinct worldviews meet and interact, is an emblematic case of religious encounter between deep-rooted Catholicism and imported forms of Christianity. This dissertation provides an ethnography of Guinean Evangelical Christianity in Lisbon, focusing on the case of the Missão Evangélica Lusófona (MEL), a church settled in the outskirts of Lisbon and attended mostly by migrants from Guinea-Bissau. Taking the MEL as a case-study of African Churches in the diaspora, I try to describe and analyse the centrality of religion in the lives of Evangelical Guinean migrants in Lisbon. My central argument is that, in this context, religious faith appears as a way to make sense of the experiences of dislocation and re-location of believers. Accordingly, in the following pages I portray MEL as an emblematic example of how Evangelical Christianity sustains migrants in their transnational movements while concurringly enables them to create a sense of place in the localities in which they chose to dwell. Furthermore, by examining the experiences and life stories of MEL’s members, I address a series of issues, such as: the meaning of conversion for individuals and communities; the connection between religious faith and the condition of stranger; the relationship between global/universal and local/particular dimensions of religious identity; the ways in which religious actors appropriate and transform the urban space where they live in; the emergence and transformation of peculiar visions of space and time, including the ways how human groups produce their past, present and future.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT)Vasconcelos, JoãoSarró, RamonRepositório da Universidade de LisboaFormenti, Ambra2015-01-26T16:43:51Z201420142014-01-01T00:00:00Zdoctoral thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/15798TID:101325673enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-11-20T17:21:32Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/15798Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-11-20T17:21:32Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
