520 $a (Love of God Evangelical Church, Romans 5:5, in Mozambique).
520 $a This dissertation presents an ethnographic study of the Igreja Evangelica Amor de Deus, Romanos 5:5, em Mocambique (Love of God Evangelical Church, Romans 5:5, in Mozambique) or IEAD, an African Initiated Church (African Independent Church, African Indigenous Church) or AIC among the Sena people of north-central Sofala and southeastern Tete Provinces of Mozambique, as a specific case of the phenomenon of African Initiated Christianity.
520 $a Chapter one presents the need for the study, namely, that the Sena people are a severely understudied group, and that few studies have been published in English about AICs in Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) Africa. The researcher's positionality is acknowledged and key theoretical presuppositions underlying the study are presented, including the author's understanding of the contextualization of Christianity. Then the chosen research methodology, ethnography, is described, as are the primary data-gathering techniques employed.
520 $a Chapter two recounts the story of the founding and growth of the IEAD with special emphasis on the life of founder Josefa Chano Estivene (b. 1937). Critical incidents in Estivene's life are recounted, from his evangelical conversion in a Mission Initiated Church or MIC, through his part in the founding of one AIC (the Igreja Evangelica da Nova Alianca de Jesus, Hebreus 8:8 or IENAJ), his exit from that church along with a group of colleagues, and their founding under Estivene's leadership of the Igreja Evangelica Amor de Deus, Romanos 5:5, em Mocambique or IEAD, as a direct result of Estivene's receiving a revelatory dream from God. The growth of the IEAD since its founding is outlined, highlighting the church's success despite significant opposition from inside and outside the group.
520 $a Chapter three first describes in detail a typical IEAD worship service and their manner of celebrating the sacrament of the Eucharist, followed by a description of their contextualized version of the chisasa, the traditional Sena baby-naming ceremony, which they have transformed into a Christian rite of passage. IEAD worship is then analyzed to identify its key components: Spontaneous expressions of praise, music and dance, prayer, testimonies, preaching, and giving. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the IEAD's use of sacred space.
520 $a Chapter four considers IEAD theology, although the church has no formal, written statement of belief. The authoritative sources of IEAD theology are examined using the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as a template. Then, based partly on sermons by church leaders, but primarily on the lyrics of numerous songs sung by the people of the IEAD as they worship (Appendix C includes the text of twenty-three of the these cited in this dissertation, along with English translations), four key themes in IEAD theology are identified and examined: The nature of God, the meaning of conversion, the benefits of salvation, and love as characteristic of Christian relationships.
520 $a In chapter five, the IEAD's status as an authentic AIC is considered. First, it is shown to be distinctively African in character. Next, the church's claim to be indisputably African initiated is demonstrated through an analysis of the three stages--protest, schism and divine calling--through which Estivene passed as he became the church's Founder. Following this, the IEAD's claim to be an authentic Christian church is verified by showing that it displays all three of the traditional Protestant notae ecclesiae. The chapter ends by discussing some of the effects of globalization on the IEAD and by noting the challenges it faces as it transitions to a second generation of leadership.
520 $a Finally, in chapter six the study closes by suggesting several missiological implications of the study's findings, offering the author's own evaluation of the study, and suggesting avenues for future research into AICs in Mozambique and throughout Lusophone Africa.
