| Summary: | On the occasion of the two hundred years jubilee of the founding of Basel Mission, the article traces its impact in Ghana. It analyses three inside and outside perspectives on Basel Mission; one is dealing with the so-called Salem tradition in Abokobi, a historic mission station; another is looking at the use of Basel Mission fragments in a mega-church, Lighthouse Chapel International; and the third example refers to Basel Mission legacy for local politics in Akuapem. In all selected case-studies Basel Mission serves as an imaginative source of collective memory, impacting current discourses on religion and society in Ghana. |
