A South Africa Event on 2016-04-15 19:00:00
APRIL 15-17, 2016 DePaul University | Lincoln Park Campus | Chicago "Fire from Heaven: Pentecostalism, Catholicism & the Spirit in the World" is the theme for World Catholicism Week 2016. Hosted annually by DePaul University's Center for World Catholicism & Intercultural Theology (CWCIT), this event is free of charge and open to the public, as well as all of DePaul's faculty, staff, and student community. The number of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians has grown ten-fold since 1970—to well over 600 million—mostly in Asia, Africa & Latin America. What accounts for this explosive growth, and what challenges does it raise? This conference explores these questions through the theologies & politics of Spirit movements in the global South. Topics include spiritual warfare & healing, prosperity & poverty, politics & colonialism, and Catholic-Protestant Pentecostal relations.
