This article examines the ritual specialists and initiates of the three Adzima shrines in the southeastern Volta Region of Ghana and their criticism of Christianity, particularly Neo-Pentecostalist discourse that encourages adherents to sever lineage-based ties to deities and ancestors. The influence of Christianity is an issue that the Adzima shrine ritual specialists deal with on a regular basis since different types of people are drawn into hierarchical relationships with the Adzima deities through the fiasidiwo initiates. The Adzima ritual specialists have to manage shifting perspectives on the appropriate relationship between persons embedded in lineage structures and with deities, which could undermine the meanings attributed to the fiasidiwo and potentially threaten the initiates’ livelihoods.

“他们的孩子可能是基督徒”
本文考察了加纳东南沃尔特地区三个 Adzima 神殿的仪式专家和同修,以及他们对基督教的批评,特别是新五旬节派的话语,鼓励信徒切断与神灵和祖先的血统联系。基督教的影响是 Adzima 神殿仪式专家定期处理的一个问题,因为不同类型的人通过 fiasidiwo 启蒙者与 Adzima 神灵建立了等级关系。Adzima 仪式专家必须管理关于嵌入在传承结构中的人与神灵之间适当关系的转变观点,这可能会破坏归于 fiasidiwo 的意义,并可能威胁到同修的生计。
