Pentecostal Reinventions of the Passover: Contextual Reflections on the End of Year Night Worship Festivals in Uganda by Alexander Paul Isiko, Enock Kisekka

“…The study of the Pentecostal end of year worship festivals unravels one of the innovations that justifies the uniqueness of African Pentecostalism, promulgating theologies and traditions on the one hand, and reinventing Judeo-Christian practices in African perspectives, which in a sense give African Pentecostal Churches a claim to divine originality, on the other. In another way, theologies, traditions, and practices emerging from the observance of the annual Pentecostal worship festivals place African Pentecostal Churches among the towering African Christian traditions, which then borrow rather than debunk such Pentecostal theological innovations. …”

Catholic Church Interiors in Fin-de-Siècle Literature by Claire Masurel-Murray

“…Drawing on William Whyte’s analyses of changing attitudes towards church architecture in the 19th century in Unlocking the Church: The Lost Secrets of Victorian Sacred Space (OUP 2017), it shows how literary representations of church interiors in fin-de-siècle literature reflect the shift from the Protestant aniconic, congregation-centred approach to church design, in favour of an architecture of affect and sensation, where space and ornamentation lead the worshipper to experience the divine through a sensory overload. It focuses on two aspects of church architecture and decoration that are foregrounded in fin-de-siècle poetry and fiction—and were highly polemical in the late Victorian context because of their association with the Ritualist controversy and with ‘Romishness’: the eastward position, i.e. the celebration of the Eucharist on a stone altar fixed to the back of the chancel rather than on a wooden communion table facing the congregation; and altar candles, which were condemned in anti-ritualist pamphlets as both pagan and ‘popish’. …”
