Description
Archives des sciences sociales des religions - Année 1999 - Volume 105 - Numéro 1 - Pages 163-183L'Eglise Universelle du Règne de Dieu (IURD) qui serait passée ces dernières années d'un demi-million à trois millions et demi d'adeptes et qui posséderait des temples dans 50 pays, a été au Brésil au centre d'une longue polémique durant le second semestre 1995. Reniée par d'autres dénominations évangéliques et pentecôtistes, cette Eglise autonome fondée au Brésil en 1977 été présentée comme totalement différente du pentecôtisme classique dont l'Assemblée de Dieu est l'Eglise représentative. Ce texte tente d'aller à l'encontre de fausses évidences portées par cette polémique. D'une part, la distinction entre néo-pentecôtisme et pentecôtisme classique est polysémique, d'autre part elle ne renvoie pas à des phénomènes radicalement différents. En fait une évolution générale est en train de se produire dans l'ensemble du pentecôtisme brésilien. Certaines glises ou secteurs d'Eglise sont beaucoup plus avancés que d'autres dans cette évolution. Bien que l'Eglise Universelle utilise une machine narrative propre qui traduit notamment le succès de son expansion, certains mécanismes discursifs de cette machine se répandent dans d'autres Eglises (y compris pentecôtistes classiques). Cette contagion est favorisée par un nouveau rapport privé/public se manifestant par l'entrée des pentecôtistes dans la politique, dans les programmes assistantialistes, dans la télévision et l'industrie culturelle.
The Universal Church of the Reign of God (IURD), which has lately been increasing its membership from half a million to three and a half millions, and is said to own temples in no less than 50 countries, has been the centre of a lasting controversy in Brasil during the second semester of 1995. Repudiated by other Pentecostal and Evangelical denominations, this autonomous church born in Brasil in 1977, has been depicted as totally different from classical Pentecostalism of which the Assembly of God is a representative part. This text tries to go against what has falsely been put up as obvious facts carried by this controversy. On one hand, the distinction between Neo-Pentecostalism and classical Pentecostalism is in fact a polysemical distinction, and on the other hand it doesn't refer to radically different phenomena. As matter of fact, a general evolution is taking place on the whole of Brazilian Pentecostalism. Some churches or church sectors are a lot advanced in this evolution than others. Although the Universal Church uses a specific narrative machine which both brings about and explains its successful expansion, some of these narrative machine discursive mecanisms are spreading to other churches (including classical Pentecostal churches). This contagion is helped by a new public/private relation which reveals itself through the Pentecostal'sentering into politics, assistancialist programs as well as television and the cultural industry.
