Liturgy on the Move: Pentecostal, Aboriginal, and Secular Collisions

This talk explores interactions between Australian Pentecostalisms in their Indigenous, Classical, Fundamentalist, Neoliberal, and Ex-vangelical forms, with implications for Christian witness and how this informs public conversations about faith.

 

 

2018 jione havea

Dr Jione Havea

Jione Havea is co-parent for a 7yo, migrant to the unceded Wurundjeri lands and waters, native pastor (Methodist Church in Tonga), and research fellow with Trinity Methodist Theological College (Aotearoa New Zealand) and with Centre for Public and Contextual Theology (Charles Sturt University, Australia). Jione authored Losing Ground: Reading Ruth in the Pacific (SCM, 2021) and edited Theologies from the Pacific (Palgrave, 2021) and MEDIAting Theology (EVA, 2021).

 

Worship in Native Motions

The RCL is a useful tool and discipline, but it is limited and problematic. Dr Havea explores the way the RCL is a ‘doctrine of occupation’ in the way it perpetuates the Christian occupation of lands, of faiths, of minds, of spirits. How might a theology of worship from the perspectives of indigenous peoples reframe our colonial approach?
