dc.description.abstract | From the angle of theology of mission it is imperative for the Christian faith to respond to the complex environmental challenges facing Africa. In this article, I explore the attitudes and responses of Ghana's Charismatic churches, as a case study of neo-Pentecostal responses to Ghana's environmental challenges. I further explore some theological and ethical imperatives that require neo-Pentecostals to integrate environmental protection into their missions agenda in today's Ghana, in order to become environmentally friendly, as their "mission of reconciliation" requires of them. I argue that, as required by their theology of mission, Ghana's neo-Pentecostals must reconcile with the earth and "be of the earth" through a re-interpretation of their "mission of reconciliation". Source data for this work are both secondary and primary, utilizing both participant observation and analysis of interviews with selected neo-Pentecostal members and leaders in Ghana. | en_US |
