摘要

摘要:本文考察了近几十年来撒哈拉以南非洲地区教会为自由民主所采取的行动。这篇文章试图解释与a)其他公民社会组织,特别是工会相比,教会的行动主义水平较高,以及b)教会对民主行动主义的各种承诺。该论点强调了自由民主制度为教会提供的保护,使他们能够传播自己的思想,而不会受到全能统治者的限制。教会需要这些保护的程度取决于他们的活动在多大程度上容易被国家挪用,历史上把投资学校作为一种传福音方式的教会最有可能倡导自由民主。

Democracy's Devout Defenders
Abstract: This article examines church activism for liberal democracy in sub-Saharan Africa in recent decades. The article seeks to explain churches' high levels of activism compared to a) other civil society organizations, specifically trade unions, and b) churches' varied commitments to democratic activism. The argument emphasizes the protections liberal-democratic institutions offer churches to spread their ideas without being curtailed by an all-powerful ruler. The extent to which churches need these protections depends on the degree to which their activities are vulnerable to appropriation by the state, with churches that have historically invested in schools as a method of evangelization being those most likely to advocate for liberal democracy.
