Putting Love into Words --Appendix One --Appendix Two --Notes --References --IndexThis deeply insightful ethnography explores the healing power of caring and intimacy in a small, closely bonded Apostolic congregation during Botswana's HIV/AIDS pandemic. Death in a Church of Life paints a vivid picture of how members of the Baitshepi Church make strenuous efforts to sustain loving relationships amid widespread illness and death. Over the course of long-term fieldwork, Frederick Klaits discovered Baitshepi's distinctly maternal ethos and the "spiritual" kinship embodied in the church's nurturing fellowship practice. Klaits shows that for Baitshepi members, Christian faith is a form of moral passion that counters practices of divination and witchcraft with redemptive hymn singing, prayer, and the use of therapeutic substances. An online audio annex makes available examples of the church members' preaching and song.The Anthropology of ChristianityAIDS (Disease) - Patients - Pastoral counseling of - BotswanaAIDS (Disease) -- Patients -- Pastoral counseling of -- BotswanaAIDS (Disease) - Religious aspects - ChristianityAIDS (Disease) -- Religious aspects -- ChristianityChurch work with the sick - BotswanaAIDS (Disease)PatientsPastoral counseling ofBotswanaAIDS (Disease)ChristianityReligious aspectsBotswanaChurch work with the sickAcquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeHIV InfectionsPastoral CareReligion and MedicineSocial SupportChristianityReligion and PsychologyImmunologic Deficiency SyndromesReligionSocial EnvironmentLentivirus InfectionsSexually Transmitted Diseases, ViralSlow Virus DiseasesCounselingVirus DiseasesRetroviridae InfectionsSociologyHumanitiesSexually Transmitted DiseasesImmune System DiseasesPsychology, AppliedRNA Virus InfectionsDiseasesSocial SciencesChristianityHILCCReligionHILCCPhilosophy & ReligionHILCCEthnography.aids crisis.aids.anthropology sociology.anthropology.apostolic congregation.baitshepi church.botswana.christian faith.christian nonfiction.christianity.church.discussion books.ethnographers.ethnography.faith and religion.fellowship.fieldwork.hiv.human relationships.hymns.illness and death.life and death.modern history.moral passion.power of god.power of prayer.prayer.preaching.spiritual kinship.spirituality and faith.therapeutic substances.AIDS (Disease) - Patients - Pastoral counseling of - Botswana.AIDS (Disease) -- Patients -- Pastoral counseling of -- Botswana.AIDS (Disease) - Religious aspects - Christianity.AIDS (Disease) -- Religious aspects -- Christianity.Church work with the sick - Botswana.AIDS (Disease)PatientsPastoral counseling ofAIDS (Disease)ChristianityReligious aspectsChurch work with the sickAcquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeHIV InfectionsPastoral CareReligion and MedicineSocial SupportChristianityReligion and PsychologyImmunologic Deficiency SyndromesReligionSocial EnvironmentLentivirus InfectionsSexually Transmitted Diseases, ViralSlow Virus DiseasesCounselingVirus DiseasesRetroviridae InfectionsSociologyHumanitiesSexually Transmitted DiseasesImmune System DiseasesPsychology, AppliedRNA Virus InfectionsDiseasesSocial SciencesChristianityReligionPhilosophy & Religion261.8/3219697920096883Klaits Frederickauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1566388DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910780920503321Death in a Church of Life3836851UNINA
