Description

Neopentecostal experience has a profound affect on the life of Power of God church affiliates while mirroring deep-rooted features of Aimara cultural tradition. Innovative interaction of these two convenes a new identity. Their new identity is still predominantly Aimara. Indigenous worldview exerts a permanent influence on them but Neopentecostal Christianity has significantly influenced identity and worldview in urban Aimara places. They have incorporated both radical change and continuity with the primal into their lifestyle and identity because they are not moved by the conflict of bipolarity but by their three-dimensional logic, that is, their way of perceiving reality and determining how they relate with the supernatural both of Aimara and Neopentecostal *** Access to Scholar Consultation papers are restricted to E21 scholars only.
