| Summary: | This essay presents the grassroots’ common practice of congregational music making seen through an embedded long-term participant-observer’s perspective. Through this approach, it argues for a realistic means of “closing the loop” in the goal of self-determination for Global South churches by proposing a thoughtful worship renewal process guided by an enlightened theological ethos that privileges local expressions. Dieser Aufsatz handelt von der alltäglichen gemeindemusikalischen Praxis im Globalen Süden und stellt die Ergebnisse einer Langzeitbeobachtung als Participant Observer dar. Auf dieser Grundlage schlägt der Autor einen Prozess behutsamer Erneuerung von Gottesdienstpraxis für Kirchen des Globalen Südens vor. Von einem aufgeklärten theologischen Ethos geleitet, soll dieser Prozess örtliche religiöse Ausdrucksformen bevorzugen und der Selbstbestimmung der regionalen Kirchen dienen. |
