| Abstract | |
This work examines the international religious diffusion, investigating in details the arrival of the Brazilian community Canção Nova in Portugal, in 1998. This community was founded by Father Jonas Abib in 1978 in the Vale do Paraiba region, and belongs to the so-called RCC (Renovação Carismática Católica) Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Today, having its statutes recognized by the Holy See, Cancao Nova is one the most important charismatic communities in Brazil. The beginning of the communitys missionary works in Portugal is the current face of the Brazilian RCC: international expansion. Throughout this work, we demonstrate that this recent expansion can be classified as the fourth phase of the Brazilian charismatic movement, the previous phases being: arrival in Brazil and local expansion; institutionalization; the use of local mass media. The current phase shows the same conflicts as the phases before, with the addition of new ones, namely: confrontations of religious expression between particular cultures and broader national contexts. This will be our main point of discussion in this thesis, based on our observation Canção Nova in Portugal. (AU) | |
