| Summary: | In Rwanda and in the border region, a movement of awakening under the names of abake or balokole was born in the 1930s. This movement spread rapidly in east African countries, particularly in Uganda and Kenya. As an evangelical awakening within the framework of Anglicanism, it takes on a distinct character in Rwanda. It foreshadows the Pentecostal movement, which originated in the early twentieth century in the United States and rapidly spread through Africa, Brazil, and elsewhere in Latin America and Africa, through its millennarial and trans-territorial character. Thus, the east African awakening (REA) fostered the spread of a transnational Pentecostalism which extended to Rwanda in 1994. (Can J Afr Stud/DÜI) |
