| Summary: | This article explores the role of the church in addressing the emotional and spiritual needs of individuals and communities, particularly in the context of African Pentecostalism. The article argues that the church is called to actively engage with its surrounding culture and to bring healing and restoration to those who have experienced trauma or pain. In the African Pentecostal context, this often involves addressing issues related to cultural identity, historical injustice, and social inequality. Through its emphasis on the power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of community, African Pentecostalism offers a unique perspective on how the church can facilitate the healing of memories and promote reconciliation and restoration. The use of “African Pentecostals” in this article refers to the Pentecostal churches whose doctrines align with the mainline Pentecostal theology and praxis (the classical Pentecostal Churches and the Neo-Pentecostal Churches). 本文探讨了教会在应对个人和社区的情感和灵性需求方面的作用，特别是在非洲五旬节教会的背景下。文章认为，教会被呼召积极参与其周围文化，并为那些经历创伤或痛苦的人们带来治愈和恢复。在非洲五旬节教会的背景下，这通常涉及解决与文化认同、历史不公和社会不平等相关的问题。通过强调圣灵的能力和社区的重要性，非洲五旬节教会提供了一个独特的视角，说明教会如何促进记忆的治愈，并促进和解与恢复。本文中使用的“非洲五旬节信徒”指的是与主流五旬节神学和实践相一致的五旬节教会（包括经典五旬节教会和新五旬节教会）。 |
