| Summary: | Abstract Missiological Spirit as multidisciplinary approach gives particular attention to how interaction with anthropology, sociology, theology and ritual studies can transform the Church in South Africa through reconceptualising some of the key Christian doctrines in the light of liminality theory. Through the case study of 2015 xenophobic attacks in South Africa that exemplifies the affinity between public speech and public violence, the article shows how Missiological Spirit framework can inspire and empower South African Christians to respond adequately to the plague of xenophobia through consciousness raising as means to prophetically resist violence entrenched in public speeches. |
