Religious syntheses - Opis:
- The aim of the article is to prove the permanent presence of the Traditional African Religions (TARs) in the complex and versatile dynamic of religious innovations in today’s Black Africa. Cultures and religious of the Africa's territories located in the south of Sahara are often perceived from the point of view of the first travellers' idealised generalisations. Yet, TARs do function nowadays in a space traced by an enduring influence of Christianity, Islam and multi- aspect modernism - effectively fragmenting traditional holistic systems. The research on the Black Africa's religious phenomenon confirms the TARs' commendable ability to adapt to new social and political structures of the post-colonial Africa. The TARs' permanent vitality is proved by statistics - yet they require a special interpretation. On the basis of David Barret's research (World Christian Encyclopedia, Oxford, 2001), 12.3% of the Black Africa's population declare their affiliation with the ancestors' religions. However, it should be indicated that the data do not represent the phenomenon, which I name with the term „double religious affiliation" or „double religious fidelity:" African Christians and Muslims simultaneously keep a strong relationship with the ancestors' religions. The double religious affiliation is an origin to new religious syntheses about Messianic aspirations, e.g. kimbangism, amicalism, mpadism and others. TARs is a factor that continuously integrates African traditions.
