“…In den USA entstanden im 19. Jahrhundert die sogenannten Denominationen als wohl erste Form einer religiösen Mitgliedsorganisation jenseits des europäischen Staatskirchenmodells (Mead 1954;Niebuhr 1957;Ammerman 2016). Dabei waren es vor allem die Methodisten und Baptisten, die sich mit Hilfe hierarchisch-zentralisierter Organisationen koordinierten (Balik 2014, S. 5).…”

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag greift Jeffrey Alexanders (2004) These auf, dass die einzelnen Komponenten kollektiver Rituale in der modernen Gesellschaft zwar zunehmend differenziert und somit religiös „entleert“ werden, in der Inszenierung aber „re-fusioniert“ werden können. Das Religiöse wird somit subjektiviert, mediatisiert und eventisiert. Rationalisierungsprozesse wie Organisations- und Marktbildung sowie Digitalisierung treiben diese Entwicklung voran. Im empirischen Teil vergleichen wir drei kollektive Rituale aus dem amerikanischen Evangelikalismus, die unterschiedliche Grade der Differenzierung aufweisen: Im Fall der (1) traditionellen Gemeinde wird religiöse Authentizität aus den engen sozialen Beziehungen innerhalb der Gemeinde und zur Denomination erzeugt. (2) Im Megakirchengottesdienst der Lakewood Church wird Authentizität in der professionellen Event-Inszenierung hergestellt. (3) Die evangelikale Vloggerin hingegen erzeugt Authentizität – und damit eine Bindung an ihr Publikum –, indem Skript und Darstellerin in der Inszenierung vollständig verschmelzen.

“…They did follow the pragmatic line, however, and pragmatism reached a peak in Moody who '"reputedly was an Arminian up to the cross but Calvinist beyond -and who declared forthrightly that 'It makes no difference how you get a man to God, provided you get him there'." 100 Finney's theology of revivalism must be placed within the context of the times. The "idea of progress" as well as the importance of the individual were characteristic of the age of Jackson, and both worked to undermine the old doctrines of election and predestination.…”

“…Perhaps this was inevitable due to the stress on personal religious experience in "conversion" which tends to make man's initiative primary. 82 Finney believed in the power of the Holy Spirit in his own life and mentioned how the "sword of the Lord slew them on the right hand and on the left" at Evans Mills, and how at Stephentown the people "chafed a little under the preaching, but with such power was it sent home by the Holy Spirit, that I soon heard no more complaint." 83 Nevertheless, Finney still insisted "that the actual turning, or change, is the sinner's own act."…”

Charles Grandison Finney appeared on the American religious scene in the early 1820's, and following a rather dramatic conversion experience he determined to enter the ministry. With some tutoring from his pastor, the Reverend George W. Gale, but no formal theological training, he began to preach in the “burned-over district” of upper New York State. His early successes in attaining conversions led him to adopt a pragmatic approach to the problems of theology and thus to be quite impatient with the Calvinistic theological system.

The term denomination was innovated in the late seventeenth century by those groups of Christians in England who dissented from the established Church of England, but considered themselves loyal to the British state and recognized the monarch as having rights with respect to the Church of England. In 1702, specifically, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Congregationalist clergy formed “the body of the Dissenting Ministers of the Three Denominations in and about the City of London.” The term was introduced to counter the pejorative term sect, which in popular usage carried a sense not only of deviant or undesirable practices, but also, as sectaries, implied political radicalism. Denomination is now used in pluralist societies for those forms of organized religious expression that generally support the established social order and are mutually tolerant of each other's practices.
