| Summary, etc. | In Kenya the prophetic tradition has always been fertile because of the link between the political and religious spheres. The significance and the actions of the Akurinu prophets, founders and leaders of religious groups since the 1920s and 1930s, go against the idea of religion as a refuge and that of the church as a place of withdrawal, waiting for a better life.The Akurinu are active in urban and rural contexts. The leaders are at the centre of a “prosperity chain” and wealth is redistributed among believers. The utilisation of space by the Akurinu is based upon the fragmentation and migration of small groups of prophets who remain relatively independent of each other. The network of each church covers space in a symbolic way. The dynamics linked to the scarcity of the land have been central for ideological changes, and today these dynamics, especially affecting the young urban Akurinu, are the cause of a movement towards unification. |
