Whereas theories of secularization assumed that religion would disappear, the reality is that religion has demonstrated its tenacity. In the specific case of Zimbabwe, religion has remained a positive social force and has made a significant contribution to development, particularly through the Zimbabwe Council of Churches. This has been through political activism, contribution to health, education, women's emancipation, and ethical reconstruction. This volume analyzes the contribution of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches to development in the country. 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aSociology of Religion 606 $aPolitics and Religion 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aAfrican Culture 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a306.6 676 $a200 702 $aChitando$b Ezra$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409996303321 996 $aThe Zimbabwe Council of Churches and Development in Zimbabwe$92057279 997 $aUNINA
